does nitro improve impulse much over co2

[FallenAngel1237]

i'm looking to buy a new electro gun under 500 and the impulse caught my eye because it can work great on co2, what i was wondering was if there is a very noticeable difference betwwen co2 and nirto on the impulse.

[Silent Knight]

no there isn't. What they mean is, Co2 shoots just as well as N2 on the Impulse. Because they shoot just as well, you can get more shots for your money using Co2.

[liquidsoul_sm]

However, consistency is always an issue with CO2. You can chrono your gun with CO2 and you will probably notice + or - 20 f.p.s. If you use nitro there will be no consistency problems.

[FallenAngel1237]

that's what i've heard, that it does run very good on co2. iwant to able to have a gun run on both co2 and nitro because i can't always get nitro filled where i live. other guns like the bushmaster don't run on co2, so i'll probably get the impulse.

I started off using my Impulse with co2. But the gun will get very cold and frosted if you rapid fire, or just shoot for a long time (even if your shooting slowly). The input pressure jumps all around form 140-220 b/c of the co2 freezing. The dwell also has to be adjusted a bunch b/c of the pressure jumping around. So then I bought a nitro system, and good lord did it improve my guns accuracy, reliablity, consistancy, and temp. :P You can go ahead and start off w/ co2 and see how you like it, but nitro is a whole lot better! [Good thinking on getting an Impulse-I love mine and now have a trigger job that easily cranks out 15bps]

impulseben, what nitro tank did u get, what size also?? do u have a screw in setup? or did u get the maxflow??? is ure tank preset?

[impulseben]

i just got the 88 ci Crossfire 3000psi tank.

[bbqchicken8]

the only difference i see between my imp on n2 and on co2 is the cost of the tank and fill. i have NO problems w/ co2. that's why i use it =D

[impulseben]

I guess co2 is fine if your not a really fast shooter and don't do a trigger job like mine to where it's hard not to shoot fast, b/c w/ co2, your gun will get frost all over it and you'll have to let it defrost before firing again or else you could do some serious damaget to the circuit board or solenoid. So be careful.

[team euthanasia]

how would someone go about putting a preset tank on an impulse can you use a drop foreward with asa to a black ice or vigalante into the gun or does anyone else have any suggestions

[bbqchicken8]

don't get a new reg, just mount ur maxflow vertically, maxflow is the best reg out there besides the stabalizer. get a drop forward and just screw it in to ur bottomline.

[Havok]

I thought with the impy that you had to have only smart parts tanks in there regs?? I bought a smart parts reg and tank for a minimag and the threads were backwards, compared to the bulldog etc. Whats the deal with that? Can you buy and impy and put a bulldog on it??

[krasher]

Once you've used nitro, you won't want to go back. It is more consistent, cheaper to fill, doesn't freeze your arm off, and most importantly doesn't **** up your gun.

[krasher]

Havok, the impulse and shocker max-flow's manifold is standard threading whilst the nitro manifold is reverse threaded.

[Havok]

so you can put a bulldog system on the impy??

I am a litte new with the nitro setups etc

[impulseben]

The maxflo is a very nice regulator, but I wouldn't say it's best overall. I'm getting MacDev Gladiator regulator b/c the designs of the sidewinder and gladiator are more air efficient. The maxflo vents air to regulate it, resulting in fewer shots, but the gladiator (and sidewinder) are both very highflow(but the gladiators alot cheaper)and don't vent the regulated air, instead, the air is reused for the next shot. My friend when he used a maxflo got about 900 shots at max on his impulse using nitro. Then he bought a sidewinder for his gun and he says he's getting at least 1000!
Also, the gladiator and sidwinder are made a little more comfortable as a foregrip. The vert. maxflow isn't made with comfort in mind. So I think getting a new reg would be an exellent idea. Getting a glad or side-w. would make your gun alot smaller too.(and more comfortable)

[impulseben]

my friend who compared the two regs was using an 88ci 3000 psi tank

[bbqchicken8]

the maxflow doesn't vent air to regulate, it only vents if u get liquid going into it. if ur gun is getting frosty, the antisyphon is installed wrong. you'll have to reinstall it. cool co2 feels great in the summer.

[krasher]

Dude, it does vent air, thats the pressure relief valve...

And havok, yeah a bulldog will fit a standard impulse or shocker max-flow.

[bbqchicken8]

he said that the maxflow changed the pressure by venting air, the only time mine vents are is if i turn hte antisyphon bottle verticall to make it go liquid. my imp's maxflow doesn't vent air

[krasher]

Oh, it doesn't vent air eh? How come the impulse I have right here is venting air out of the max-flow, hmmm?

Guess what the liquid is doing, over pressurizing the reg. Now, look back on what I said, and you should feel pretty dumb.

[bbqchicken8]

if ur talking about sending the air into the gun that is regulate, of course that is vented into the gun. but if he ment that to lower the pressure the maxflow would release air giving it fewer shots per fill. then that's wrong.

My friend has an Impulse (AWSOME GUN) only if you are going big with nitro there is no need for it...he uses a 3000 114 and says its better than co2, he has a 47 at 3000 and got like 200 shots and on the 114 he got...around 1000-1100
so go big or don't go.

[bbqchicken8]

you can get 1000 on a 20oz. so you want the huge tank or the 20 nothing in between unless ur stepping up to 4500

+/-20!!!! ARE YOU MAD!!!!!!!!!! My Impy gets +/-7 5 with the dwell set low.

[Splat98]

Yea...no more that +\- 7-10 FPS...remeber the Max-Flo??????

hell, i thought my spyder sucked with velocity problems and it only varies +/-7 fps on a bad day

God you lie bad. Duh im and idiot duh 1000 shots out of a tank that will give you 1600 duh.
