2k3+ shocker and co2?

[GT]

Sorry I have to ask this here guys, most of the shocker forums are full of morons...... SO could you use co2 on the current shocker just like the old ones?

[DementedChild]

if you can hook it you can almost put anything to anything. just would be wise to do that

[soccer4minimags]

I was wondering this too since the old shockers ran so well on co2. But at a base price of $699 I don't think people will just hook up a 20 oz to it. Maybe if it was in the 400 range like impys and old shockers were then more would consider it.

Its a matrix knockoff, and trixs run well on co2. I think the shocker would run off co2 also, I just wouldn't do it because I have an air tank. :)

yes, you can run the 03 shockers on co2. i dont, and i dont know anyone who does, but you can if you so choose.

maybe because N2 tanks cost $200... or the person doesnt have N2 fills available? then again they are spending $800+ on a marker so you'd assume they would have both of those as options. Who knows.

simply, yes, you can

In some ways Co2 is better than HPA if you now it's intricacies. If I had a low pressure marker I'd totally run it, yes even on a shocker.

I only run HPA when I can't run CO2 with better results, like on a mag.

[Mr. Frodo]

The features list says that you can run CO2. It would make sense because the input pressure is so low - 180-220psi. Even on a cold day, CO2 should have higher pressure than that. You just need to make sure you have an anti-siphon on your tank.

in no way is co2 better then HPA.

Yet I have 6 c02 tanks and a fill station for when I'm at home and feel like messing around, but at the field...HPA

[TeamNausea]

Yeah itll work but id reccomend an anti siphon. Mine leaked bad the 1 time i tried to run it on co2 . Mayeb it was just that i didnt have anti-aiphon on it i dunno,but yeah you can run it on co2 ;)

[Jackel411]

Yes they do...

Ive tried it.. when we get new guns in my shop I clean/chrono/and pop them on the wall...

I noticed the shocker could run co2 in the instructions so I figured eh.. lets try it.. well its now shooting a consistant 275 fps :)

[FalconGuy016]

The box says USE ONLY ANTI SIPHON

So I guess you can :)

[Jt$uper$tar]

you cant use co2 with a new shocker, they need a lowpressure output air tank

i think its kinda funny all these dudes saying you can, and in the instructions it says you can, but this dude says you can't

[hunter100]

Maybe he is thinking about a shocker with no regulator. Some shockers come with a gas through grip instead of vert reg, and you would definately not want to run co2 on these. As long as you can regulate the pressure down, I would think you could run any gas into a shocker that you'd want to.

[TeamNausea]

The ones with the gas-thrus came in the ultimate package i think so theyd have a maxflo.Not sure about this but i think thats it.

Yes, you can! :rolleyes: (http://www.smartparts.com/shocker.pdf)

Please read section 2A!

Then you have a bit to learn.

CO2 is more readily available than HPA
CO2 is cheaper
a 20oz CO2 gives you more shots than a 68/4500

the problems are
you require a bit more to set it up correctly
it's considered "dirty" air (it's not as clean as HPA)
