    Yeah I started in 92 with a traccer knock-off pump ... and my first semi was a 68 Special which drank co2 ...

    When I got my first mag in 94 it was advised to either run remote with an anti-s tank, or use a SS hose looped like two-three times before entering into the AIR valve.

    After awhile we started buying the little 3.5 oz tanks and drilling them out to act solely as expansion chambers. Using anti-s valves and a real short hose turn like a "u" almost to draw gas and not liquid ...

    They worked, but they stored a ton of gas in them ... *L*

      A bottle contains 34% of liquid CO2 full or 1/3 of the bottle.

          Most added anti siphon tubes are fitted to the marker/asa. An expansion chamber even with an anti siphon is still a good idea. (how my marker is set up and one extra item).
          Smart Parts has 68 cu in and 88 cu in anti siphon tanks with on/off valves (have the on/off facing up and the tube will be up).
          A short tube bent into a u (instead of a j) for siphon used on a remote should work to prevent liquid co2 form entering the marker.

          Compressed Air (HPA) is better (tanks are more expensive). HPA is cleaner, more consistant then co2, performs well in all temps, also you can easily see when you are running out of gas. (I have 2 HPA tanks).
          CO2 tanks are cheaper and easier to find fills (fills are often cheaper too).

          DonkeyKev that has got to be the worst sig I have ever read. Not only does it insult the mentally retarded/challenged (which in itself speaks well of you being lacking mental capacity) but attempts to separate woods/rec players form speed ball and concept field players. If it was not for woods games there would not be speed ball, most of the top pros started in the woods (Bob Long still plays a few woods games). And last count more people play rec/woods games then tourney style paintball.
          Paintball is a game and ment to be fun...... when it stops being fun it is time to stop

            Warped Designs, i'm truly sorry if i have offended you. it certainly wasn't my intent. the last thing i want to do is start a flame war or be flamed and i assure you that i am not lacking in mental capacity. again, i apologize. also, i dont have anything against the mentally challenged or woodsball players, i just found that statement amusing and thought that other people would too. i guess it was just bad judgement on my part.
