[chris1]

I wouldn't reccomend running it off co2 mate. Co2 freezes the internals and makes parts wear out quikly. Your best bet is to use air.... Any reason why u want to use co2?

lol im alright cos my dad can get air free from work

most paintball places will let u fill up air for free if ur playing ther or will charge a minimal fee of a quid to get it filled....

co2 is classed as "dirty" and wouldnt reccomend it if your running a decent cocker.

Nothing wrong with running a cocker on co2 at all. Especially if it is a mechanical cocker, wouldn't particulaly reccomend it for an electro, high rates of fire as mentioned would give you freezing problems.

As for what mods you would have to make to it to get it to run on co2... absolutely none at all. A preset (high pressure) and co2 run at pretty much the same pressure (about 800psi).

Only thing I might suggest, is get an anti-siphon tube put in the CO2 tank you're using. That is a tube that is installed inside the tank, which sits at such an angle that liquid from the bottom of the tank is less likely to exit the valve, if there is any vapor available. You need to have it set up for the bottomline mount you are using, and it most likely won't line up right on another bottomline.
