You might be able to but I wouldn't, cold liquid co2 is bad for electronics

electronic guns, yes, the actully electronics, no (but i think thats what u meant) yes, it is capable of running an Imp on Co2 IF you have an anti syphon, but be prepared for tons of problems, get a stealy HP, there cheap, and cheaper to fill. ------------- <1 meg sig = bad> |

Really bad idea. Just look for a cheap HPA tank off the nation.(If you really want the Imp.) ------------- Thinking about it... |

Even anti-syphon tanks will give you fits with any electro-pneumatic marker. The rule of thumb is, if it uses electronics, don't put CO2 on it. For $100 for an impulse, you should be able to fork out the cash for a cheap HPA tank
On that note, you should have seen the manager at the Woodbridge Pev's cringe when some guy brought in an old Shocker with an anti-syphon on it.... you'd have thought the guy brought in a roadkill skunk with the reaction he gave.  ------------- <Removed overly wide sig. Tsk, you know better.> |

depends on what generation it is, what board is in it, etc. but 18-20 bps is a safe bet. ------------- <Removed overly wide sig. Tsk, you know better.> |

| vision board and blackheart are capped at 20, a non-vision board or when you have vision turned off is 13.4 or something like that. WAS board is uncapped. imp internals are capable of cycling at around 30, but dont expect to get it to shoot that fast with paint. 20-22 would be a reasonable expectation if you have it fully upgraded |

^^I think i should get equalizer board then. People sometimes use an anit siphon co2 tank, but its still bad. Are there any upgrades on it? You will probably want a new trigger/feedneck very very soon and arent old maxflos supposely good(or as good as it can be) with co2? -------------

Yeah, I mean, there ARE setups that you can use with Co2 for markers,
after all the shockers and rainmakers were made before the days of hpa. The trouble with all of them are that they are so bulky that they quickly make what are essentially light-weight, high-speed tournament markers into a bulky tangle of anti-syphon, regulated and expansion chambered parts to "make sure" no liquid gets in there and blows a solenoid or lp- system. My experience has been that the impulse was far more touchy with co2 than the shocker was. ------------- <Removed overly wide sig. Tsk, you know better.> |

not necesserily shouldnt, but its a very good idea to use hpa if you can. if not, just use an antisiphoned bottle, with the stock maxflo, and make sure not to shoot too fast. if you start to get anything thicker than a little puff of c02 when you fire or start getting snow from the barrel, stop, let it warm up, and dont shoot that fast next time |

| also, why bother moving a thread from the lounge if everytime a post is made in the thread, it is bumped back up to the top of the lounge? |
