Its not bad except you might want an expansion. i dont have one because im gettin n2 in about 3 weeks. but my gun is runin good. except it shoots down alot. i think it might be the co2.

I used CO2 for 6 months on my minimag, it wont hurt it at all. I never had any shoot down problems actually, prob helped it was hot everytime i played :)

yeah, get a cheap expansion chamber(20$)...at the very least youll need an anti siphon tube (15$ installed) in your co2 tank, this will keep the liquid co2 from getting into your gun and causing all kinds of fun tricks like: insaine velocity spikes from 250fps to 550 fps..frozen reg, causing some nice leakage of snow out the back reg piston..blown orings caused but extreme temperature and pressure differences.
Back in the day Co2 was pretty much the only option, and the automag68 was the tournament players #1 choice because they worked so well/reliably. I ran an automag68, now called a classic mag, on Co2 for 5 years (from 1994-1999) and I never had any problems -I still have the gun and it still works great. But I had a good expansion chamber, and an antisiphon tube in the Co2 tank.
