    New Valves and CO2 compatibility

    I am wondering....there may already be something about this somewhere...I may have even asked , but I have forgotten.

    Is AGD currently working on a lightened classic valve , or something along that lines that will be able to use CO2 ?

    Obviously right now there are enough classic valves around to be readily available. But being as heavy as they are , it would be really nice to have the weight advantage of the X with the reliability and flexibility of the old classic valve. Or to have the ability to show up at an event that only has CO2 and know you can still get your game on.

    I thought I had read something about Airgun working on a drop in to the X-Valve that would make it CO2 compatible, but at the expense of the RT or max ROF or something.

    Bah. I forget.

        mags are too high pressure to ever work really well on co2 anyway.

              is the weigh issue of the AGD AIR valve really an issue at all? Certainly is not as light as the X.....but is a tank that will take all the abuse you dish out.

                the mini mag valve is better than the classic and can use co2...

                  The Mini mag valve is a classic valve.

                  The weight of a classic is an issue when you are carrying the marker around all day at a scenario.

                  Mags have worked on CO2 for years , but what I think the previous poster was hitting at is that at lower pressures CO2 becomes more stable and is less often a liquid.

                    TK eluded to, in a thread about Tac-One stock components, the availability of a drop in on-off that would make the marker CO2 compatible without the RT effect.
