You won't get liquid CO2 feeding into your marker, only gas. It will help to improve consistency. Used alongside a regulator and/or a remote hose, CO2 becomes much more effective in terms of precision. ------------- "Abortion is not "choice" in America.

| Anti Siphon has many advantages and brihard hit it on the head. Getting a good expansion chamber or a remote line would act as good if not better than an anti-siphon. |

Not at all. I haven't got one, and my 98C with flatline works just fine. I have a remote hose, though. It's all about making sure your marker eats gas CO2, not liquid. ------------- "Abortion is not "choice" in America.

| I wouldn't get it because that means you have to buy one for each tank. I would go with an expansion chamber. A remote acts like an expansion chamber also. It is your pick. Some don't like remotes others do. |

the x chamber cost varies. Mine was $35 and the vert adapter was $20. The remote is about $50. Me and brihard are the only ones helping this guy out. lol |

<shrug> depends on what you want, but usually they're pretty cheap. $25 or so. Less if you know where to look. ------------- "Abortion is not "choice" in America.

Ok robocop heres a Note...the only time an anti-siphon tube is used is when you are screwing in the co2 tank directly into the asa (air source adapter) thats located at the bottom of the pistol grip and it will prevent the liquid co2 from leaking into the internals of the marker and also preventing the marker from freezing up and damaging the O-rings, also it is a safety rule. ------------- Do not steal....the government hates competition!

x-chambers can be as little as $20 or as much as $60,which is still pretty affordable.a remote is a plastic or braided metal hose that takes the tank off your gun and lets you choose where to store it.put the two together and you should see a big improvement in consistancy and less freezing up ------------- 98 custom J&J 14" ceramic pen spring mod |

An anti-siphon is a copper tube that acts sort of like a snorkle (heh,
I said snorkle) that is pointed up towards the top of your tank above
the liquid co2 and should be installed by a professional only and does
a much better job at keeping out liquid co2 than an expansion chamber
could ever hope to do. It only costs about $7 but the downside to that
is you can't use the tank you got it installed in on other guns unless
you swap the asa's. An expansion chamber looks like a front grip and is often used as one. It has anywhere from I believe 4 to 30 or so chambers that allow co2 to expand before it gets into your gun. A good x-chamber will cost about $30 dollars but even the best x-chamber won't completely keep all of the liquid co2 out of your gun. A remote line is a coiled hose that allows you to wear your tank in a pack designed to do so or in a backpack or something. This can keep liquid co2 out of your gun because when you wear your tank in a pack it will be vertical and since liquid co2 is heavier than gassious co2 it will sit on the bottom of the tank thus preventing and liquid co2 from getting into your gun. Remote lines cost about $30 but you'll need a pack to use it with so figure at least $50 for the setup. Also, it would be completely pointless to use a remote line and an anti-siphon in conjunction with each other because they would cancel out each others benefits and you would do the exact opposite of what you set out to accomplish by drawing nothing but liquid co2 into your gun. -------------
