An Ion can run on Anti-Siphoned CO2 but it will not be good for the gun. Just save yourself a broken gun down the road and invest in a HPA tank.

| The Ion is still pressing my limit though. I tracked down a refebished Diablo Mongoose for $130 which is much better then the usual so i just really want to know if it is a good gun and if it NEEDS nitrogen. |

I wouldn't waste my money on one. It will run on CO2, but all it is is a Kingman clone sear tripper... You would have a more reliable marker if you just E-Gripped your 98. -------------

CO2 is bad for alot of paintball markers. Liquid CO2 getting into the electronics of a mid to high end electro will freeze up the Solenoid.

| You really should be using HPA in the trilogy. |

Why shouldnt i use it in my trilogy?

You SHOULD use it in your trilogy because it's better for the gun. CO2 is bad for guns. HPA is good. Don't get a Mongoose. You'll be very unhappy with it and wish you never went there. Just save up for a while and sell your Trilogy or 98. Then, you can get HPA and an Ion. ------------- Something unknown is doing we don't know what.

You can find NIB ions for less than 150. Just ask around. *cough* ------------- Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo |

Yes. I have a trilogy, and would never run CO2 on it. Even though the owners manual says it isn't required, it is highly recommended. -------------

ok dude look on ebay for an ion....they are cheap. Also u can get a compressed air tank for 65-to 90(steel) if u want to go higher like a carbon fiber (which is lighter) it run anywhere from 130-170. apox.

Um. Nitrogen is almost exactly the same thing is compressed air. In fact, I don't know of any place that actually uses pure nitrogen (air is 78% N2). There is no benefit to N2 over HPA - because for our purposes they are identical. So I have no idea what you're saying. ------------- Is God real? You'll find out when you die.
