um the only problem i would see happening is the gun might freeze over from the high rates of fire.  I dont think it would damagae the eletronics.

I wouldn't get the E-Bolt.  I'd wait for the new E-Grip to come out in July sometime.

ya ive heard that hpa is better but i have a co2 fill station already and dont want to spend the money to get an hpa fill station. i was just making sure that co2 wouldn't harm the ebolt.

Tippmann says that HPA is a better choice but the E-Bolt will work with CO2. I am using CO2 right now. The likely problem is, at high rates of fire, the low pressure regulator built into the ASA supplied in the kit won't handle liquid CO2 well and may spike velocity due to higher pressure in the solenoid. (the higher the pressure to the ram, the harder it hits the valve and thus higher velocity of the paint)

On a cool cloudy day a couple of weeks ago, I iced up the receiver power tube area and had an 1/8" of ice on the CO2 cylinder. When shooting at high rates CO2 liquid begins to flow into the marker. Sure depletes the CO2 quickly when you pump liquid instead of gas. HPA is the better choice but I have a large CO2 fill station tank and five 20 oz cylinders. Not ready to switch yet. Will add an expansion chamber (of my own manufactuer) before I drop the bucks for the HPA tank.

^ You could always just sell those five 20 oz tanks with the fill station. Then the cost of an HPA tank is pretty much covered.

ya i have an x-chamber so im not that worried about it freezing up, and i probably won't be shooting long strings a lot, so i don't think the liquid is a problem.

Well, when liquid co2 gets into the ram area, it causes the electronic board to fry. If you were to search somewhere, you could find a picture of the board melted all in the grip. That being said, the liquid co2 probably caused moisture in the gun causing the board to fry because it does not handle liquid easily.

Your wrong the co2 will go to your solenoid before it makes it to your x chamber.

You better get it siphoned.

GO BUCKS!!!

ok i was planning on getting a palmers stabilizer next, but 98cowboy said that the air/liquid will go straight to the solenoid, so how would a reg help?
