Do I need to change any internals when switching from co2 to nitro? I've heard a couple different things here, any help will be appreciated.

When I switched I did NOT change anything. I was also running regulated CO2. You might have to adjust your velocity.

When you switch from co2 to nitro their is a MAJOR velocity spike. So just fire your nitro tank like 100 times so the gun can get used to the nitro.

Other than velocity adjustments, you shouldn't have to change anything. However, CO2 is generally harder on your gun's internal replacement parts, like the o-rings and reg seat, so it might be a good idea to perform a routine maintenance overhaul once you have converted over.

I posted a thread about sizing HPA tanks. Check it out and let me know if it is helpful.
