b2k4 + co2 = ?

[JoshK]

Well my friend wants to get a b2k and won't have enough money for a hpa tank. Will the b2k work with co2?

Thanks.

yes, if you run it behind a remote line and probably a palmer stabilizer reg to be safe. B2Ks generally don't like CO2...

oh yeah, also don't shoot too fast

Bushmasters and CO2 will play nice so long as your double regging them with Palmer's Stabs (Male and Female). There are several Bushy owners who've been running theirs on CO2 for a number of years, with appropriate precuations, and haven't had issues with it.

for the amount of money he could spend on getting a usuable co2 setup, he could get a cheap used 45 ci alluminum tank.

you might as well just get HPA. to make it work well, you would have to antisiphon it and use a palmers reg. it could work okay, but i wouldnt trust co2 in it without the antisiphon or reg. i dont know for sure but im willing to bet it would hurt the noid.

personman: I've been trying to tell him the same thing. But he says that he wouldn't want a tank that small.

Well then tell him this. To get co2 to work properly on that gun he's gonna need a $80-90 Palmers Stabilizer and a $15 anti-siphon line. And that's the bare minimum. He still shouldn't shoot fast. If he wants to rip on it he'd better double stabilizer it. Total if he wants to shoot around 10bps? ~$100. Total if he wants to shoot faster and get the most out of the b2k? ~$200. For $100 he could get a used 68/3k tank or hell, even a new 72/3k PE tank. http://www.actionvillage.com/is-bin/...sAAAD5MtFJBmGq

He'd actually be spending more on setting the marker up for co2. He should just get that 72/3k for $90.

Well if you look around you can find other deals for bigger tanks under 100 dollars.
For example I have an 88/3k tank for sale for $75 but it goes out of hydro in january.
