| I wouldn't bother with the 48/3k tanks honestly. you'll be lucky to get 500 shots off of one, and you're not going to want to carry multiple tanks around and switch em out in the middle of a game. You're gonna spend what... $70-80 on two of those tanks, I would save the little extra cash and get at least a 68/4500. |

^^^ Maybe he doesn't need more than 500 shots/game. I usually only carry about 300 extra rounds and about half the time I never even break into it.

Just use a 20oz CO2 tank...Yes! i said CO2! i have one made by Extreme Rage. I can get waaaay more than 500 shots off. i don necessarily fire 500 shots in one game but my tank gets the job done. What you said above kind of made it sound like you would be carrying 4 tanks...unless your going to a seriously large scenario game that is incredibly unecessary. ------------- Its not that i think stuipidity should be punishable by death, i just think we should take the warning labels off of things and let the problem handle itself. |

i was planing on not carying them sorry i wrote it out different then i thought. i ment id keep 3 in the car and just take one out, you never knwo wholl need another tank anyway, to many time dicks said they filled my friends co2 tanks and they were completely empty,thats why i go to aa local paintball store to fill up. but does co2 work good in an x7 phenom? ------------- Slip To The Void |

If its not the new electric X7 phenom then it should work fine. Ive heard plenty of bad things about CO2 but i have a tippmann a5 and it works fine. So yes as long as its not electric it should work fine. X7 is a pretty good marker and like all the other tippmanns it is almost impossible to break. ------------- Its not that i think stuipidity should be punishable by death, i just think we should take the warning labels off of things and let the problem handle itself. |

hmm...yah i wouldnt get the CO2 then because the CO2 or water or some liquid condenses on the gun and makes it verrrrrry wet. unless you like the possibility of electricution get HPA ------------- Its not that i think stuipidity should be punishable by death, i just think we should take the warning labels off of things and let the problem handle itself. |

The flex valve in the Phenom is designed to work on either compressed air or CO2 without problems. This valve is used in both versions so mechanical or electrical doesn't matter. (The problem with using CO2 in most electropneumatic markers is not the electronics so much as the potential for CO2 icing in small hoses and causing damage/blockages.) -------------

ill just get the 2 hpa air tanks then, the guns supose to be very good on air anyway right? and i use a remote line once in a while but i often go to dive and the thing kills your back,pluss its not confertable. so a smaller tank on the gun would be good to. ------------- Slip To The Void |

The X7 can run on CO2 or HPA without problems. What size tank is really up to you. ------------- Its not that i think stuipidity should be punishable by death, i just think we should take the warning labels off of things and let the problem handle itself. |

Apex barrel. which is similiar to a flatline but it can be adjusted for distance and accuracy and is less picky about paint. I dont really know any other barrels.

The J&J or Lapco Bigshot barrels are good ones that one break the bank. They run around $30 usually and work wonderfully. ------------- In the broad spectrum of bad ideas I think this would have to rate somewhere between running with scissors and sticking your pecker in the toaster. |

yes those are probably the best straight up barrels there are. BTW the apex is like 35 dollars. but you need an adpater. You can find one on ebay for that price. If you plan on getting it look for a guy named FamousGuy.

I use a remote line for some time, but I often go diving and what to kill you back.Ive hear about carbon dioxide emissions, but I have a lot of bad things tippmann A5 and it works fine. So yeah, as long as it is not electric it should work. X7 is a good mark, like all other tippmanns is almost impossible to break.

uumm...can you retype that i found it hard to read with all your spelling mistakes. From what i could undertand it only shot about three balls the stopped.

Yah it is probably because your low. you said you have the cyclone feed? welll when you get low on air it will often stop feeding balls. But only if it is VEEEEEERRRRRRYYYY low on air. like your 4 trigger pulls away from your gun going nuts like the way a tippmann does when it runs out of air. that sort of full auto explosion. ------------- Its not that i think stuipidity should be punishable by death, i just think we should take the warning labels off of things and let the problem handle itself. |

okay i took it apart and fund the isue, whoever greased the gun put so much greast on the line going to the cyclone feed it blocked the tiny whole in it, so i took all the grease off and used the grease it gave me but not to much and oiled the bolt, thanks for all your helo. ------------- Slip To The Void |

I would personally suggest you stop using grease. use oil. it wont clog your gun up and is less messy. ------------- Its not that i think stuipidity should be punishable by death, i just think we should take the warning labels off of things and let the problem handle itself. |

You really should refrain from giving advice until you become more familiar with the sport/equipment involved in the sport. The X7 has a different operating system from most other Tippmanns and as such, Tippmann recommends different lubrication. -------------

No, they don't. However, someone who is new may make the mistake of thinking you know what you are talking about, follow your advice, and mess up their equipment or make an ill-advise purchase. With this in mind I could correct any misconceptions you spread but it would be simpler if you would limit your advice to matters you actually know about. -------------

i broke my project salvo thinking i could out a mettle cylinder housing on it from rap4, it didnt work to well and i broke the internals, and my carver one had bad leakes when i tried changing the air line, so i sold um both for the phenom, i dont take anything apart till i read the manual and look up every posible thing i can get online and ask mad questions so i dont screw up again, this sports to expensive for stupiud mistakes, ------------- Slip To The Void |

I learned through experience, research and listening to others*. I have made plenty of mistakes while working on my paintball equipment. The difference is that I don't go on internet forums, pretend to know more than I actually do and give bad advice to others that causes them to make mistakes. There is a difference between learning from your own mistakes and giving bad advice (whether through malice or ignorance) to others that causes them to run into difficulty. *I found it annoying when the "others" in question didn't actually know what they were talking about but pretended they did as this tends to lead to those listening making mistakes that could otherwise have been avoided. -------------
