?????ANYWAY possible to use CO2?????

[GT]

I just don't see the point of putting the better part of $200 worth of regs on a gun just so it can shoot CO2.

I think there are a few reasons to run co2
1. guns with poor effiency need a more potent energy source
2. availibility of compressed air.
3. some fields charge for all day air on compressed air, and co2 is free with your field fee.
4. for me personally I feel that co2 is alot safer. You are storing about 1000psi instead of 4.5k-5k.

WOW, was was so close to asking if you rode the short bus after that question batteryfree, but i guess you can do it , power to c02 users

AGD says no c02. How much more simple can it get?
Get your head of of your ***.

try rigging up llike 5 level 6 expansion chambers with one way quick disconnect that have one ways and filters and on top of that a Anti siphon. that way you should be fine. i have actually seeone like that.

Why is it that posts like this always come from folks with less than 30 posts?

I'm pretty sure that it was people like you who hanged anyone who said the world wasn't flat.

Perhaps you should consider getting your head out of your sphincter, and realizing that if you only eat what others feed you, you will end up consuming a lot of bulls**t in your time.

I'm done now.

I just get so tired of seeing those stupid "it can't be done, so don't try!" posts.

That's a good point. My old Spyder would go for the better part of a day on one 20oz tank.

2. availibility of compressed air.
3. some fields charge for all day air on compressed air, and co2 is free with your field fee..

It used to be CO2 or HPA with an all day fill around here but I was interested to find out that several of the fields have started only giving HPA all day fills. You have to pay more for CO2. I guess that's because once the field has paid for their commpresser/booster then CO2 is more expencive.

4. for me personally I feel that co2 is alot safer. You are storing about 1000psi instead of 4.5k-5k.

Not much I can say about this; it's true.

All in all. I would like to get the benifits of the huge numbers of shots that CO2 gives but I'm just not willing to deal with the hassles.

Not exactly.
If you heat the downstream CO2, the pressure will increase, and the regulator CAN NOT adjust that. The reg can only raise pressure. It can not lower it.

This is the principle issue with using CO2 on new Mags. As said, the heat generated will cause the pressure to fluxuate wildly. THe reg has no control since the valve is downstream.

Yes, it will still function. Just not very good.

The valve is actually very integral with the workings of the RT REG. As a reg the RT is VERY unconventional. It dumps full input into the chamber first bypassing the regulation components and when it hits its desired pressure it shuts off instantaneouly.

HPA temps in the chamber due to compression and heating can exceed 180 degrees F. In an RT valve.

all these methods are fine and good for getting liquid out of hte valve.

but liquid in the mag, or no liquid in the mag, the downside will be the same. it may end up causing TERRIBLE velocity spikes, or at least some velocity problems.

Will it be less so with no liquid? yes. Will it still be a very real possiblility, yes.

however, the good news is that you cant really FUBAR your mag by using Co2. You may eat an oring and experience bad performance, but thats about it

i really dont care how crappy it wll work i just want to know if it is possible and anyone has done it succesfully. And for te record i bought a scuba tank yesterday.

[Kevmaster]

yes, it is possible. and success can be defined in many ways...
