Is using co2 in a impulse bad?

OMG people do not know how to read FAQs....

Yes, using CO2 on an Impulse will destroy it and make it melt. It doesn't matter what you do, CO2 will literally melt your Impulse. :rolleyes:

What freak is trying to say is
YOUR GONNA DIE:rolleyes:

Just put an anti siphon in the tank and youll be fine

[Rancid Coleslaw]

Anti-siphon and on/off is best. Especially if you have a horizontal maxflo.

dont even use co2

I think you guys need to A.) Read the FAQ section yourselves because Wolverine says differently.

Impulse FAQ (http://www.kamworld.net/paintball/ImpulseFAQ_Technical.html#T9)
9 How do I use a compressed air or CO2 tank without an ON/Off?

The problem was that the old manifold had a long pin in it. The pin would open the pin valve in the HPA tank before the tank was sealed to the manifold. The results was a major leak of air.

A secondary problem was that if the air entered the gun too quickly there was the potential to "shock" the solenoid. That is why in step #2 you turn down the operating pressure

This is referred to as “The O-Ring Trick”.

Place an extra o-ring in the ASA before screwing in your HPA or CO2 tank.
Lower the output pressure of the Max-Flow by unscrewing the velocity cap about 5 turns. This should lower the output pressure on the Max-Flow to under 100psi.
Screw in your tank. This does not have to be done slowly. You will actually have greater success if you screw the tank in quickly.
While firing, slowly increase the output pressure on the Max-Flow.
The o-ring trick is not always needed. An Impulse with a vertical max-flow will have a standard ASA under the grip frame. This ASA will seal the tank before the pin in the ASA engages the pin valve on the tank. Smart Parts also redesigned the manifold, so on newer Impulses with a bottom mount Max-Flow your tank will also seal properly to the manifold.

Even if your tank seals to the manifold or ASA you should still turn down the operating pressure before screwing in your tank to avoid "shocking" the solenoid.

#10 Do I need an Anti-siphon tube in my CO2 Tank?

Yes. An Anti-siphon tube, if installed properly will keep the liquid CO2 out of your max-flow reg. This will increase efficiency (more shots per tank) and reduce venting of excess pressure as well as reduce the amount of wear on o-rings in the max-flow.

[cocker kid 2k2]

The simple answer, as long as Co2 has an anti siphon tube, no it is not bad for your marker. It was designed to use Co2. And for all the retards above, why don't you try giving him a straight answer next time, instead of your immature sarcasm.

HEY

I gave him a straight answer:confuse:

I thought you were leaving pbr.

[Legato]

ok, a simple yes or no does the job.

[Woods Sniper]

He just left OT. But then he changed his mind.

Anti-Siphon will be fine. :tup:

Haha. You rule.

[Dancing racoon]

It wouldnt hurt to buy a anti-siphon it'll keep all that liquid co2 where its supposed to be. ;)
