| i believe so. I think if u do that, ur velicty will have to be turned down. I think it will work but i could be wrong and then ur gun could blow up |

co2 works great in an lpk. as long as theres a secondary regulator, youll be fine. you may just have to turn your reg or velocity up or down between the two. -------------

| do you have a secondary inline regulator? if you do, youll be fine. youll just have to adjust it a little for higher velocity. |

you can use co2 in a lpkit set up,as long as you have a reg in front of the co2 so you can turn the psi down to 325 or so from 800 psi. I have done this with my set up and it has only one side efect. co2 tends to dry out your regs o rings and cause a leak,so when you switch back to co2 just put some pball oil in your marker and fire it a few times,so the oil will get to your guns o rings. you will be suprised at how well co2 will work. ------------- my A-5 setup,sp freak kit,pro-seal powertube,E-grip,cp 45* drop,polished internals,GTA lpk,palmers fatty stab.crossfire 45/4500 ,dye rhino cover,jcs duel trigger |

dont get confused. Your hpa tank comes stock with a regulator. The secondary reg is the one u buy. ------------- A-5 Flatline E-Grip Tapco T-6 stock JCS Duel Trigger JCS Universal BiPod Core Remote 88ci/4500psi Crossfire R-5 Hopper Apex Barrel Hot Shot red dot Lapco offset Spec Ops A5-A2 grip |

If you want to run CO2 through a regulator, you should get a palmer's stabilizer. CO2 will destroy most regs as mentioned above. The stab works great with CO2 and HPA. Just keep in mind, when you switch them during play, your velocity will differ from HPA to CO2. You might cause yourself to start shooting hot. I would suggest getting a 68 ci 4500 psi tank (closest to 20 oz CO2 in size and shots per fill) and get it filled between every game if you have to. ------------- A-5 E-grip Chipley Custom Carbon Graphite 16" Evil Adapter(Spyder) 32 Deg New '03 XChamber Remote Line Gun Sling Sniper f/x Stock LPK 68/4500 HPA R-5 CP Reg JCS Duel Trigger |
