Co2 on Cockers READ!

[kevintheflip]

hey guys i just got my new vert feed autococker and they say i need an anit-siphon CO2 tank with it or its messes it up...is it THAT important that i use one? thanks

[pr0kch0p]

nope

my friends have been using regular co2 on their cockers foroever, one of my friends has a 98 and has been using co2 on it ever since he got it, no problems really to speak of, other than normal wear and tear.

dont worry about it.

ok...well this is my experience with co2 just the other day.....I was timing my marker after jet another new part....anyway.....I ran out of N2 and I wanted to check for leaks.....so I used a co2 tank I had.....well I was trying to "seat" my new valve....and was rapid firing the get it to set....well my three way got so cold the o-rings swellled alttle and slowed my trigger return down to almost not returning....(I have a very light trigger spring).....oh...and I was running it through a remote....

just something to think about...when running co2....especially now that its getting colder out....(well here anyway)....so think about getting N2 at some point and don't waste a whole lot of money in anti siphon tanks and x chambers and the like....

[NICKYB]

thats exactly what i was thinking... by the time i got antisiphon and angled bottomline and a good inline reg it all added up to the cost of a cheap PMI nitro tank... so i took that road =)

[frenchtoastdude]

I used to run regular CO2 and it worked great.

co2 work grest, its what i use. just try and get a anit-siphon tube installed into your tank, angled bottom line.....also if you want take aan extra step to protect your baby from liquid co2 get an x-chamber on the co2 tank so u can still use a inline reg

Look the cocker has been around for a very long time. They have run for years on CO2 and run verry well that is why they are still around. If a cocker wouldn't run well on co2 they wouldn't make them anymore because co2 was all we had back then. Will it run better on Compressed air, yeah a little. Air is easier to regulate because it is always a gas and it doesn't freeze o rings. It also preforms much better in cold weather. However when you are shelling out a lot of cash for a cocker you may not have much for anything else. And you probbably have a co2 tank already.

If you don't want to get hpa it is not a problem you have many options. I suggest this setup it works well.

1) angled drop
2) on the tank expansion chamber
3) inline filter
4) inline reg

if you also want an anti siphon tank that's good too but this will work very well it is very nice with a stubby co2 tank it is how we set up my friends new sleeper and it runs like a dream. And it only added 40 to the price of his cocker. (of course he already had the drop)

That's good to hear. I was gonna play some outlawball with some friends so I would only have co2. Was a little worried about blowing up my cocker on co2, but 1 day of play shouldn't do damage right...?

[CARBON]

they reccomend it. but you dont need it, Get an expansion chamber if you are really worried about , no wait, the cockers already have regs on them, so the co2 will have a really hard time entering the gun.

the only thing that reallly happens somtimes is that the inline reg gets real cold and some o rings swell. but you have to be shooting pretty fast for that. i run a remote and it doesnt let any liquid into my gun

[Scott Misfits]

I froze my cocker using Co2. It was in late october. It was cold out. I was shooting fast. C02 is fine for a cocker as was said earlier. They were designed when nitro wasn't around. I think Nitro is better but it's not needed for a cocker.

[WVprankster]

I've used CO2 on most of the cockers I've owned, and not had any problems. I do install an anti-siphon kit, simply 'cuz I got liquid into the 3-way like ptflyer did- trigger didn't return at all and I was in the middle of a game looking like an idiot pushing the timing rod with my finger to be abel to fire again.
Personally, I don't buy that junk about CO2 being "dirty" - for awhile i've been Cocker owner, and never had bits of junk fall out of the gun from the gas being "dirty"

[Chandler]

Want no liquid in your gun.......easy buy and anti siphin tube )like 7 bucks) and a palmers stab (like 89 at g3pb.com). No liquid.

[Letchworth40]

If your gonna run co2 on your cocker the first thing you need is a stabilizer. Those things work great. I used it on my bushmaster for 4 months and no liquid has ever gotten im my gun. I dont even use anti siphon

[KOTOWA]

For the price of a STABALIZER, Ive seen Crossfire tanks!!! I say hold up for N2!

[Letchworth40]

well i have to take a 30 min drive to get my n2 tank filled and walk 3 blocks to get co2. so getting a good co2 setup is the only thing i could do

[jpapalsmurfb]

Played with my cocker on co2 and after firing a string of about 60 shots, it froze up on me and I had to let it sit for about 40 mins. That is why you get anti-siphon, the ram froze up and I had to recock it manually. Another guy I was playing with with anti-siphon had no problems.

[paintballer56]

co2 works alright but is really jumpy, and doesnt work well in too cold or too hot, plus, nitro fills are cheaper
