Ok, i just read most of the uber faq and my head is spinning. I have a 16oz Co2 tank with a steel braided remote. I am worried about getting the co2 in its liquid state into my marker and fouling it up. Should I consider geting either Nitro or HPA for my 98c or will i be fine as long as i dont fire more than 10bps. (doubt i could even get that high since mine is stock.)

From my understanding, you should be fine. The remote line will act as an expansion chamber. A Palmers stabilizer will keep CO2 out and has the nifty benefit of being able to regulate CO2. Your shots will be very consistent and is the poor man's HPA. This is my preferred setup, because HPA tanks are expensive and many fields where I stay don't have compressors. Besides tippmanns were made to run on CO2. If, on the other hand, you do have money to burn; HPA is best and is the only thing pros use. |

The CVX valve is very capable of handling liquid CO2. While the consistency of velocity and accuracy may suffer a bit if you do get liquid in the valve, it won't foul the marker. Tippmann is the rental-marker of choice the world over simply due to the fact that they can take a beating externally and internally and go right back into play with the minimal of service. Your efficiency may suffer if you're hammering on the trigger and get some liquid up in the valve, but if you're having to wail on the trigger that much, you've got bigger problems to worry about at the moment than getting a little liquid in the valve. You know, like the 5 guys opposite you that you're having to fire so much at, or the fact that you're going to be running out of paint in about another 20 seconds  .
Anyway, the remote line will allow the CO2 to expand before reaching the marker anyway. The only exception to the rule is if you lie prone with the top of the CO2 tank facing on a downward slope while firing. Then you can start siphoning liquid into the system. ------------- <Removed overly wide sig. Tsk, you know better.> |
