what type of air you choose air has no effect on the egrip itself whatsoever. -------------

| you will probably want to go hpa though, co2 will still work fine, but will become very inconsistant and lose velocity and high rates of fire. i had blocks of dry ice actually form inside my tank because i was shooting too fast. |

Yeah, I'd recommend getting hpa. If you don't have the money for hpa, look into either a palmers, expansion chamber, or remote line. Any of these will help, the hpa or palmers will do the best job, though. ------------- 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. |

If you stay in semi-auto mode all of the time. I have an A5 and tried using CO2 with the eGrip on mine and had all kinds of problems with freeze-up, blown o-rings, etc., even with an expansion chamber. Once I converted to HPA, I basically had a brand new gun. The eGrip is at its best with HPA. ------------- "You can run, but I will shoot you in the back!!"

The E-Grip will allow you to shoot fast enough to freeze up. I tried it and even with the Palmer, velocity would drop off at high rates of fire due to the cooling of the tank and the very cold gas that traveled through the marker. |

get your c02 tank anti-siphoned and i guaruntee you will have no problems. i personally have an e-trigger for my custom pro. i have an hpa that i run on my higher end marker a system x nme, but i also have an anti-siphoned co2 tank. I tried both on my custom pro. The only difference i saw was the hpa was a little more consistent and the velocity stayed the same, but with the anti-siphoned co2 i didnt freeze up and i had reletivly good conistancy -------------
