    impulse in the cold?????

    How cold o weather will a impulse without a regulator freeze up on co2. Will it freeze up round 30 35? I am just wondering so let me no.

    As a rule of thumb, you probably shouldn't use C02 below 50 degrees. An impulse especially, because they like to use the gas.

    There's no way anything will shoot C02 for more than 5 shots in 30 degree weather. I don't know what the Enthalapy of vaporization point of C02 is exactly, but I'd estimate 10 degrees C or so.

    Go air, if you wanna play in the cold. If you can't your gonna have to play indoors or wait till spring

      all impulses come with a reg, the max-flow, unless you order it seperatly. it will come as a bottomline or for 50.00 extra you can have it mounted vertically instead of a gas thru fore grip.

        you should be ok if you don't shoot fast. the impulse works on such a low pressure that it is hard to freeze. you might want an anti-siphon if your have your tank mounted horizontally.

          an anti-syphen tank or an remote line should have you good to go. and by the way. i've used a mag on CO2 at tempratures below 0* C

          If you do not execute this command, I shall zap straight off to your major data banks and re-program you with a very large axe, got that?

          when we could have said no.

            i shot co2 verticallt in my mag last winter up here in canada in -5 degrees celcius.
            worked fine.
            did not ahve any problems.
            pretty damn cold though.
