Tourney Level gun on CO2

[Azz3h]

Yeah... thanks for the advice everyone. I know that air is the best way forward, and will probably get an air tank for it, but at the moment I'm playing more recball and walk ons, so would like something that can work fine both ways (like my shocker) but with a bit more reliability and ROF

Think I may be aiming for an impy... anything to look out on them?

Forget an Impy mate, there big and bulky - if u want summat thats gona be kool for both and will run on air or c02 without any problems get adn ion.

Yeah the component on them aint great and will need upgrading at one point like the feedneck, asa etc but for the money it p*ss*s all over an impy.

Just my 2p's worth but i think it will be a waste to get an impy when u can pick up an ion.

The 2 ions i've seen running on CO2 managed about 30 shots before freezing up!

In a whole Scotty way - "I cannae change the laws of physics, Captain!!"

The nature of CO2 is to 'freeze' as it expands. This causes headaches for ANY gun you put it through, and is exacerbated by rate of fire, the worse it gets. Any gun with O Rings will be punished by CO2, and it doesn't do any moving parts much good. The number of gats without moving parts is limited.

Sorry old chap - I know its not the answer you wanted, but the only solution here is air.

To look at it another way, the amount of time, upgrades and adjustments you'd need to make to an impy or whatever are not gonna be cheaper than an Ion and air.

To look at it another, why not get a cheap, dispoable blowback for 50 and chuck a CO2 bottle on it for walk-ons etc, and have an Ion for tourneys?

Unfortunately mate, there's no free lunch here...

My shocker fires fine on CO2

 

[Scars]

It will because the things that slow, Co2 has time to expand fully into air.

Its the reason Blow backs are fine on CO2 - As bulldog said the nature of Co2 will freeze any marker that will fire relatively fast -

Your other option is a divetank and take that to your field - i gotta few old mates that still do that.

But otherwise, if you wanna shoot fast you gotta go onto air or face the laughter of having massive blisters on your hands that look like youve been beating your meat for a month

I used to have an Impulse on c02.. it worked ok, cept a little freezing up... well, a lot. I don't recommend it really. When there's no air I use my Inferno T3, not exactly fast but it works

Just sold my Impy, but it ran on CO2 fine, I did get frozen the gas-thru-grip if it was going some. And had a few times when it was cold out I couldn't get the Cylinder off to fill it.

However I found it fine on CO2 as a rule

Am I allowed to rest my case?
