ok...I'm wanting to get an ion and I've heard people talkin about how you shoudn't run a high end electric marker on C02
but I was wonderin would a high end electric marker still work on C02 if I wasn't plannin on shooting at high rates of speed, cause I normally just play on semi auto anyways? but if you agree that I really REALLY need a HPA would you mind tellin me what size I should get, thats not extremely expensive, because all I've seen were around the 200 dollar range...soo yeah.... thnx |

| any high end gun and co2 is very bad you will end up ruining it if you try it. ions have terrible efieciency stock so a 47/3000 tank only gives me 400 shots or about an egg and 2 pods |

its not a good idea even while shooting slow liquid c02 can get in the gun. I have seen small HPA tanks for 70 bucks just go and buy that. If you use c02 and ruin your gun you will have to pay 70 or even more to get it fixed -------------

exactly, a friend of mine ruined his marker because he shot co2 through it. Don't risk it. Just get hpa. You'll save money in the long run. ------------- NASA and the Americans spent millions of dollars and hundreds of hours to develop a pen that would write in space.....The Russians used a pencil. |

Get a HPA tank. It will save you the headache in the long run. And for the sake of simplicity, Compressed Air and Nitrogen are the same thing in the paintball world. ------------- http://www.macdev.net - MacDev Militia http://www.alienpb.com - Alien - Because winning is more fun. |
