is that bad?

[Sam#27]

A friend of mine says that it is not good for the internals of my A5 to keep switching back and forth from co2 to n2 is that true or does it not matter?

[-=ReD-hAzE=-]

like how often are you switching..? and WHY are you switching..? if you have the HPA... keep using it...

but anyways... its not bad... but it isn't good...
it puts unneeded stress on your o-rings...
going from inert hpa to cold co2 and back again over and over isn't good...

but its not something thats going to make your gun fall apart and explode...

Red, I must question your logic...How can a gun fall apart and explode?:eyes:

some guns..I can't remember which ones, would fail, and puke their internals out the barrel. And if that happened at the same time, some of the screws holding the gun together backed out, and say, the grip frame detached from the gun. And if something failed in the valve at the same time also, I think that would count as the gun falling apart and exploding.

this scenerio is just mentioned for the sake of argument..it's not likely to happen.

on no. that's not only exploding. the box they come breaks in half for God's sakes!

wait...you cant say brass in brass eagle?

[Blacksheep]

brass

EDIT: Guess you can, maybe he did something to brass to make the *** part stand out.

yea i think he threw a hyphen there just for that reason - if you keep switching dont do it after you just used one - for example you play a short game at your field with CO2 but now a tourny has started so you take ur HPA tank (which must be small since you switch often) and put it on - heres the mistake CO2 is COLD when you fire HPA it gets WARM
and if anyone knows much about COLD things getting hot fast the contraction and expanding can crack your internals (hence the xtra pressure on the O rings - if you do switch wait a few hours for your internals to become normal temp slowly and ready for the different gas

So, in short... It can be bad.

But thats no reason to say to only get nitro...

CO2 can be good too... You just gotta know what your doin.

Meph wrote a good bit about CO2...

No, thats not going to hurt your marker at all.

[Sam#27]

thanks for the help

[98customcrazy]

I have another good or not question on this subject. Is it bad for your tank of co2 or Hpa if you leave gas in there for a long period of time? Or does it not really matter?

[evilhomer]

it won't hurt it

[RedBeret]

I dont truly agree with that article... CO2 although not evil doesnt HAVE to antisiphoned... read Docs article on Siphoning vs Antisiphoning... Its pretty cool...

I really dont think you are ever gonna have a problem with tippy internals... Doing that to a cocker, yes thats a problem, but tippmann is a waaaaay too sturdy

[PartySquirrel]

well im not sure about the 98 (dont remember it from the manual) but on my procarb the manual states, and i quote:

"It is recommended to use a siphon tank in temperatures below 60* Farenheit to keep the velocity of the paintball consistent"

if thats not tough... then whut the heck is tough?
