I know the normal autococker has no problems with CO2, but does anyone know if the Eblade, with its funky solenoid, will handle the horrible, dirty, evil, nasty, cold, inconsistant CO2??

I ask because, for one time only, I can afford a top of the range marker and would like to carry on using CO2 for the time being. (cost of air setup one negative factor, along with the local site only providing CO2)

Would using two regulators help? i.e female Palmer stabiliser and an Ergo??:confused: :confused:

i would say u couldnt use a co2 as it may carry Fluids and electronics
dont mix
a top end marker doesnt have to be a e-blade
u can get ar really nice cocker

Yup, it will run on co2, as will every other marker.

Just antisiphion the bottle and it should run fine, a little incosistant but nothing major.

i dont think u would want 2
would it not freeze up or
and the cloud of dust it gives off and with a e-blade firing so many balls a sec

depends on the fluid (ooerrr missus)

So long as it does not conduct electricity or corrode the hardware, you should be fine.

I don't recall pure co2 having any kind of corrosive properties (makes mild acid when dissolved in water though) and since it's used in extinguishers for electrical fires, I hope it's non-conductive.

Ok, even if you drew liquid co2 through it, it would not touch any electronics, they are sealed behind a plastic wall. The solenoid is just an electronic 3 way, looks exactly the same when you strip one down, except it uses a magnet to move it back and forth, instead of a timing rod.

What fluids?

Even if you had some liquid CO2 present the electronics are seperate.

So no problems at all, apart from the aforementioned consistency.

Aw bugger...next time I will read down to see if bowl-head has beaten me to the response:(
