Hi just recently bought a Tippmann 98 platnium, 16 " j&J cermaic barrrel, 24 " 3 peice barrel, cyclone feed system ( want upgrahded version) Double trigger, Car stock, hanger 18 tactical basic red dot site, H18 Metal power tube. High volociety spring kit, side mount rail, drop forward, 20oz Standard Steel Co2.


Also i got a Guerrilla air regulater, thinking i could put this on my current tank, one end fits to my gun and the second end is a male connection 9 but neeeds to be female so my tank can attact and 3 is the nipple end which i presum Co2 remote coil connect)

Cheers

a guerrilla air regulator is just that. its for air. NOT Co2

Hey all, been reading through this thread. Would a certian bottle be better for a certian gun? Im looking into gettin a gun+tank in a few weeks and have read a few reviews on guns. I have read that some guns are better on air than others. How many shots on average would say like a 1lt tank shoot? And does the loss of air as such on guns really effect the ammount you can fire by alot?
Sorry to sound thick =]

Cheers
Dale

Some guns ONLY run on air, be aware of that. Any gun that has an electronic board in it can only use air. Using CO2 will short the board out and make your marker die. Generally air is a better alternative anyway, its cheap to get and its more consistent.

What marker are you looking to get? Cant really tell you how many shots per fill you will get because all markers have different efficiency. E.g. an SL94 will be a lot more efficient than a Tippman X7

It also depends on your budget, depending on what Ego it is you probally won't have to upgrade. same with a Mini just depeding on Maintenice and if you know how to do it. I would suggest a Ego, jut because they are alot eaiser to maintain, + most websites rate Ego's good. and you would find a Good Ego on here cheap.
