New to this

[coventry1]

hi i am new to paintballing, i wanted to just do it now and then. i bought an angel a1 off a friend but i dont really know much about it. i didnt realise it uses air and not co2 so iv now found out to fill it up its going to be a lot more effort, i could get a co2 tank filled up just up the road but the nearest dive centre for air is miles away, whats the best thing to do. i might just sell the gun on as i cant see me using it a great deal if i need to buy my own dive tanks to refill it everytime, cheers

Thats better, doesn't look like a add,

 

[coventry1]

cant i just use co2 on the angel? what will the effects be

 

[Lump]

co2 will cause the seals and orings to perish. Air is the only thing that a marker like that can be used with. Have you been out to the guys buy M6/M69 jct that have air ?

 

[coventry1]

i didnt realise they had air there, ill ring them up and see what they say but im not sure if my bottle has a leak because there looks like sum slight damage at the top of the thread

 

[Lump]

There a good buch up there and will look after you

Woah, you'd best get it checked before you fill it then. Seriously, you do not want your bottle and reg seperating under pressure...

I'll be down at Predator on Saturday to play the walk-on.

Alex is very helpful and will sort you out. Where have you been playing?

Predator have various scenarios, including a Stargate, speedball and supair field, so something for everyone. Maybe come down for a game on Saturday.

EDIT: Not sure how new you are, but you can't fill a CO2 bottle with compressed air. You need a proper High Pressure Air bottle.
