      if you have a timmy and you play at fields that only have co2, either you need a new field or a new gun.

            ok this guy knows his shizzle on CO2, read this article. He is only wrong about RT valved mags.

              if it can even run on Co2 , you will need an anti siphon tank.
              a Stablizer at least.


              its not worth it that right there is going to run atleast 100 bucks ( 60 for stablizer, 40 for tank)
              just buy a tank, and unless you are playing outlaw you should have access to Compressed air.

                Vertical Stabilizer, Horizontal Stabilizer, Anti-Sphion bottle. Set horziontal to 700 psi, vertical to the velocity you want.

                  It is totally possible.

                  I run a 68/4500 MaxFlo with an anti-siphon tube, into nice mid pressure reg (stock torp will do, but a Gladiator, or a stabilizer would be better).

                  The key is to double reg it, and to keep the operating pressure as low as the marker will tolerate (regardless of what marker it is). The main goal here is to keep the liquid out of the second reg, and for sure to keep it out of the marker. This is the basic reason the XValves and even Classics (to a lesser extent) don't run well on CO2, they need to run right at or just above where CO2 turns to liquid on most days. Liquid in the marker = frozen orings, leaks, vel. spikes, chuffs, and general suckage, although it rarely produces any real damage.

                  If you double reg it, use anti-siphon, and run the marker as low as it can go (pressure wise), you should be fine. I've had Imps, Shockers, and Timmys shooting at upwards of 18 bps on CO2, with no ill effects (except the reg frosted over , and I once froze my hand to the vert maxflo on the Imp).

                  Have a good time, and make sure you invest in some good low temp oring lube before hand (Dow 33 or Dow 55). Dry orings usually = frozen and torn orings

                  As always, be careful when doing air plumbing.

                    The CO2 can not be good for the 'noid. It might work, but for how long?

                      This is one misconception about CO2 that really bugs me. The idea that the CO2 will somehow get in there an eat the internals of a marker, that somehow the inert gas that is CO2 will magically become corrosive and destroy the marker is somewhat laughable.

                      As long as the solenoid does not see any liquid, there will be no problems. I have had an Impulse running on CO2 for years now, with no problems. The solenoid in an Intimidator is nearly identical. You won't have problems unless you screw around and let liquid get into the LP reg, and into the solenoid.

                      Pressure is pressure is pressure. As long as the CO2 can provide the needed pressure (read that as - putting out the minimum operating pressure once the bottle gets good and chilled down), it will run. No explosions, No implosions, No Frozen Gnomes, No Angry Trolls, nor MisGuided Billy Goats.

                      Respect the CO2, and it will take care of you. Mistreat it, and it will treat you like you were a skinny white guy in a federal prison.

                      That is all.

                          yay I've been saying the same for years, it's amazing how stubborn people can be on issues they really haven't thought about for themselve.

                          You won't have problems unless you screw around and let liquid get into the LP reg, and into the solenoid.
                          Good luck even achieving that, since liquid co2 doesn't exist at low pressures and normal temperatures. Speaking of which, low marker operating pressure *by itself* is a property that is very beneficial when using co2, no matter how many people say otherwise.

                            We rigged up an older timmy with an antisyphon, dual stabs and CO2 and we were getting horrible drop off at decent rates of speed.

                            My advice: Forget CO2, get a scuba and fill station, if there aren't any dive shops in your area see if the fire dept. will fill it. Is it worth spending money on 2 stabs, an antisyphoned maxflo and then running the risk of liquid getting into your gun assuming catastrophic failure of the two regs over your lame fields being CO2 only. If all else fails move to California, the chicks are hotter, the air is sweeter, and unlike your primative state and much of the mid west we've figured out how to contain our sweet sweet air of freedom into cylinders for paintball. Did I mention the chicks are hotter?

                              I am a huge supporter of CO2, ran it on mags for years and still use it on my Palmers. I am not saying that it will somehow "eat" the internals. But I am sure the first sign of liquid would pretty much kill the noid. I am not saying you cannot make it work, but seeing as how it seems some Timmies already have noid problems (or had), I wouldn't wanna chance it.
