I'm not gonna mince words here. Your local dealer is a complete retard. You can use them interchangably (as in use CO2 for one game, then use air the next). As long as the HPA tank is high pressure, it'll work better than CO2. Yes, HPA is better than CO2. For upgrades, have an HPA tank is one of the best things you can do for it. Since you already have it, getting a good regulator is a good start. Now, for your problem, I have to ask this (seems silly though). Your HPA tank is filled up right (not running low?) ------------- Ref: I want a nice clean game player: but it's paintball! |

As long as your tank has a 850 psi output your fine. Tell that schmuck he's a moron. Your cyclone could of gone bad. Test it.... Put a full tank (co2 if need be) and stick your finger in the cyclone just touching the first set of blades, now.. fire! If the wheels feel like they will chop your fingers off the cyclone is fine but if not it's a goner and needs to be replaced. Normally this is a freebie with Tippmann. Contact Tippmann if ya need too. -------------

you didn't give a good explanation at all, so don't expect a result. Does it shoot at all? if so, does it shoot then uncock after a few shots. just some examples of what you need to tell us. |

my R/T will shoot fine with co2 but will not work with any nitro tanks The R/T will shoot 1 or 2 shots and then stop with nitro.

Where did you get cyclone out of this, he said nothing about his cyclone?? And for your problem make sure you have enough pressure in your tank and check the tubing for the response trigger, it may have a slice or a hole in it -------------  http://img145.imageshack.us/my.php?image=98c23es.jpg">

He mentioned nothing of his cyclone, and the cylcone would not make the R/T stop working. There are a few things that it could be: 1) You have a bad seal somewhere. 2) The hose going to the R/T somehow got clogged. If the cyclone works and the R/T doesn't, this isn't it. But what I think is wrong is: 3) You need to oil it. My brother had this exact same problem with his A-5. The R/T would work for a few shots, and then stop. And then shoot, and stop. Pretty much just shot when it wanted to. Then he took it apart, and found the metal body to be bone dry inside. As soon as he put a few drops of oil inside, worked it around, and made sure the seal was nice and wet, it worked flawlessly. Try this and report back to us. -------------

Retune your RT. You usualy have to do this when changing between the two gases. Make sure theres over 800psi left in the tank too. It usualy is hard to sustain a burst with HPA than Co2, probaly because of the lack of potent liquid co2 giving it that extra bounce. -------------
