I have to play Paintball tomorrow, but cannot get my 2 nitro tanks filled, since the one place that has them is out. I would like to know if I should run my BKO on un antishphoned CO2 without a on off valve? Well, what problems/damage might possibly occur? My exact gun can be found here:

Thanks in advance for your response.

Well to be honest with you, I wouldnt risk it. You may blow a solenoid, and I doubt you'd want to replace it for one day of play. But if you absolutely have to play, make sure that the CO2 has an a/s, if not, your screwed.
If I were you, I wouldnt risk it. The regulator you have on it isnt meant to run on CO2. But just make sure the co2 is anti siphoned if you do.

I wouldent risk it...and if you blow a noid, good luck getting warranty to cover something the manual says you should not do!

You can run CO2 without a anti-siphon tube if you use a remote:D

The remote line becomes your anti-siphon tube.

I personally took the first BKO I got in a run 4 20oz bottles of pure liquid CO2 through it before the marker froze and wouldnt work anymore. I dont recommend you try this but I wanted to see how the KO was going to hold up. After the first 50 or 60 shots the reg was so cold I had to wrap a towel around it just to hold the marker so I could keep firing it.

Point is the marker will run on C02 but it isnt recommend without the proper setup. If you do choose to run the marker on CO2 without a anti-siphon tank make sure that you clean the marker and lube it very well before you start playing and then do the same after you are done playing.

Again let me stress this one more time It can run CO2 but IT IS NOT RECOMMENDED!!!
