yes it is fun to do.

[angel seed]

9v are faster

yo moserman try this if you want a fast 9v loader you can just change the 9v paddle for a 12v paddle and the 9v will feed faster than the 12v try it .

What is a paddle? And u sure itll work?

[MoserMan]

also how much would i save?

Not that crap again

Angel Seed...go back to your other thread...don't invade this one and change the subject.

I own a 2001 Shocker, so I have learned the SP operation pretty well. You don't need nitro for an Impulse at all. CO2 works great on them. I don't think the mag people are keeping in mind the fact that all SP guns come with the 3000 max flow. Shockers and Impulses are designed to operate very well with both types. With an Impulse you probably don't need to get a 12v. A 9v should do you just fine. I do recomment you get different prop for it. Like Angel Seed said. I suggest the evolution prop(must be melted and molded to fit) over the 12v prop though. The impulse comes with the progressive stock, which is a decent barrel, but I recommend you look at getting a dye aluminum or a SP teardrop. They are both decently priced and they work very well with SP guns. Make sure you get an on off valve put on your tank if you don't have one or your gun will shoot every time you unscrew your tank.

HAVE FUN WITH YOUR IMPULSE!

I would advise some changes in the following:

1. 20oz. CO2 Tank -> CA / Nitro Tank

Reasons:

1. The impulse can fire really fast, you might outshoot your tank, and have dropoff problems. You will end up buying a Nitro tank eventually, so might as well save the money you will spend on the CO2 tank and get even a 48ci Steel tank, if you are on a tight budget.

First off, Impulses/Shockers are built for Co2. The max-flow regulator takes Co2, Chews it up, and Spits it out.

With an Impulse, you CAN'T OUTSHOOT THE TANK. No matter what. The Impluse runs anywhere from 125-200 psi (don't quote me exactly) but low enough that no matter how quickly you're shooting that Impy, Co2 will 'still provide the needed amount of Pressure.

Basically, all the disadvantages caused by Co2 are defeated through the usage of extra-low pressure, and a great Regulator.

I have a friend who is in contact with a guy that sells Impies. If you have any questions, PM me, and I'll give you his e-mail adress or AIM. He got his impulse off of:

https://www.e-paintballoutlet.com

He's actually got calls from Smartparts that www.paintballgear.com was complaining that he was selling his impulses too cheaply. He raised his prices, but there's a big discount for being a part of www.pbreview.com, www.pbnation.com, and some other forums.

IMO, The Impuse is a GREAT buy. I plan on putting a Max-Flo on my Em-1.

joeyjoe367...

Thanks, for clearing that up. I was basing those statements on seeing and using a my friends Shocker, I was assuming it was the same with the Impulse. What happened was when running the gun on CO2 we experienced severe drop-offs using it in turbo mode, so I let him try my nitro tank, and it became more consistent. My friend immediately bought a nitro tank after that.

i dont know where ya live moserman, but i'd say get the h.p.a., the co2 will probably be ok in the warmer months but in the winter when its real cold your going to have velocity fluctuation problems (eratic) thats why i say go with h.p.a. C02 is very unstable. also its tough to get fills on an empty c02 tank in the winter as you have to first chill the bottle to properly fill it, then once filled it has to warm back up or you wont be able to get the velocity set back up. THATS why i recommended to H.P.A., its true the impulse will run on co2 but why tempt fate...? as far as feed systems go, take it from an owner of an impulse, not a shocker owner (though similar in design but yet still different) go with the 12v revvy, 9v conversion may look like it sped up but put a load/resistance on propeler (paintballs) fill to top, and i bet it slows the feed rate down, it cant possibly be faster due to less voltage& bigger propeller. Dont always believe what ya read, if it seems to good to be true, it usually is. good luck !!!!!!!!!
