Almost done upgrading.....

[jonman1130]

Just bought a Ricochet 2K 9v Hopper for my c98.

So far i have upgraded with:

Smart Parts All American 12"
Psycho Ballistics Drop Forward
Ricochet 2K 9v Hopper

Debating on X-chamber, regulator or anti syphon tank(leaning towards reg) as next upgrade. Also probably getting a double trigger in a few days. After that I think I'll be good to go until I either get a totally different gun or move to Nitro.

What do you Tippman pros think?

Save money get only a/s unless you are playing in a wholly hostile environment, in which case you should get a/s on your CO2 and a Palmer's Pursuit Stabilizer reg.

Double Tigger is a good idea.

If I were picking nits I'd ask why the Rico2k and not the AK, the AK is cheaper and performs the same, just without some of the more pointless features.

Just get A/S untill you decide if your gonna get a different gun or not.

I got it for $50 on Ebay and read in numerous places the Rico2kt was better than the AK. I guess I'll find out.


so a/s is enough to keep me playing in cooler weather?

Cooler yes, dead of winter in Michigan, no. If you are going to play in cold weather(below 40*) you will definitely want an expansion system or regulator. You could solve this problem quickly and just save cash for a nitro tank now. That way when youi get another gun you'll already have nitro for it and won't have to worry about that extra expense.

I'm afraid you are going to find that the Rico2k and RicoAK have exactly the same feed rate. Since on a hopper the reliable feed rate is the only thing that really matters, the Rico2k is just an AK with some extra bells and whistles. For $50 on Ebay you can't argue though.

What do I need to switch to Nitro? Just a tank? What hardware and how difficult is that transformation?

[laub]

you can just get a tank (which i would recommend if your getting a new gun in the future) but if you really like your tippy you can also get a low pressure system to REALLY see the benefitts of nitro. As i said before though, if your gunna uprade to a new gun just get the tank.

Just get a nitro tank with 800 or more psi output and screw it in. Simple as that.
