classic valves

[mag_lover05]

i know they can run CO2...how ever i would like to know if they ever have problems because of it. i would be using an anti siphon tank, i want to know because i can get more shots from a 20 oz tank.

thanks.

You'll get a bit of the standard shootdown, but a lot less of it (the air is regulated, but inside the marker still gets cold).

As long as it's fairly warm, and you're running A/S or an expansion chamber or the like, you're absolutely fine. When the classic valve was designed, there was no HPA :)

Been doing it for years with no I'll effects. Go, shoot, enjoy :)

How fast are you on the trig? Really? It Will run fine but ROF takes the hit. How Fast do you want to try or need to shoot it?

[aqua_scummm]

I've never noticed a ROF difference, just a mild velocity dropoff...

if anything it can often recharge faster, most HPA tank output at 800psi, and in warm weather CO2 can be much higher than that... of course in cold weather it can be much lower too...

Well you have to shoot it slow enough so you dont get the drop. The chill = the drop.

Slow it down till you dont get any drop, thats the secret in the classic with co2. It will shoot very consistent slowly. It will shoot froze up to but not at chrony speed.

I would get a fair amount of shoot down went firing fast. Every now and again it would do weird things with co2...

[mag_lover05]

well when i play mech its mainly pump, so all i need is like 5bps with 2-4 shots. i really dont shoot much at all... so it looks like ill be fine.



thanks guys

female stabalizer and an antisiphon with only 16 oz in the tank, and you will be golden. double regging yes, but I have found no other regulator out there that handles CO2 as well as the Palmer stabalizer.

yes i've had issues ... when firing as fast as i could nonstop in 30* weather ...

but firing slow i've had no issues ...

[NoForts4Me]

I never had problems when shooting my old Classic on anti-siphoned CO2. Now when I added a ULT, the bps I could get would give me problems (shoot-down and sticky trigger). As long as I kept the firing under control, though, I was golden. I almost always played in 40+ degree weather, too.
