Co2 to HPA

[FFpyro119]

i have an icon z and its runs on Co2 right now and i want to know what all i would have to do if i turned it over to HPA

You won't need anything extra to run it off HPA. Just screw it in and start rippin'.

xPropheTx[A-5 Rippin it] is right just screw it in and your good to go (make sure you get a HPA tank with the right input pressure for your gun cuz if its 2 low it wont shoot hardly and if its to high youll hurt your gun.)

how do u now witch pressure to use and isn't good to get like a scale for the side of it

[sdpbkid112]

ask a tech at the store for a high pressure output tank, unless your gun is tricked out for low pressure

if your maker has a xpansion chamber remove it ..it will restrict air flow. your icon more likely runs on high pressure input (800 psi) and if it has a lp asa then its a 400 output... but if your not sure you can always put a 800 hpa tank and it will still work ..and since you used co2 thats normaly 1100 psi so there should be no problems.

if its a fiber wrrapped tank then ull need a cover. if it gets scratched it will unwrravel. then ur screwed.

Congratulations on winning the weekly Resurrected Thread award :D

That said, a fiber wrapped tank will not unravel if scratched. The carbon fiber cloth is wrapped around the tank and embedded in resin with more resin over the top. The problem with a deep scratch is that it can weaken the structure and this can lead to the tank popping open at this point. The same thing can happen if there are a lot of scratches.

So while your advice for a cover was sound, the reasoning behind it wasn't ;)
