Which electros, under $600, will work fine with co2? And dont list the ones that will perform "mediocre" with co2 compared to nitro or compressed air.

Daniel, not to be offensive, but you're wrong. I know at least the Impulse will take co2....just want to know if there are any other guns that will also.

no, im sure there are a couple that would run off C02 but, they would run a whole lot better of nitrogen, and if ur gonna get an electro gun you might as well have a nitro system. Or get a core ex. chamber. Or at LEAST a pure energy tank. But that's my opinion. That the impulse probably runs pretty good on C02 but probably a lot better on HPA

pretty much all guns run better on HPA dude...

The Impluse runs great on CO2,I use a remote on itright now.I have not ice up the tank or the reg this way,shot it in 50 degree and now its like 75 and works even better.The shocker can run on co2 also.The inpluse is using a max flo and its says shocker on it,same one the shocker uses.Any gun will run better on nitro,But some of these people don't have a way too get it so they use CO2.My self i going nitro as soon as i get everything to do my own field fills myself.

Well, Impulses and shockers run at less than 200 psi. Liquid CO2 does not exist at 200 psi (it's physically impossible). What sucks about CO2? Liquid CO2, that's what. Take out the liquid CO2 from the equation, and you've eliminated 90% of your problems. Only ones remaining are that Co2 is dirty, and some o-rings will absorb CO2. With a good reg that can handle CO2 (the one that comes with the impulse is more than good enough), you'll get performance as good as you would with nitro.

~cool~ i thought they ran 300+psi. THat explains a few of my suspitions...

shockers run better on CO2 then nitro. You just need an anti-siphon tank and your all set. It gets more shots on a 20oz then on a 4500. Also the shocker is accurate as hell, it only looks ugly but shoots great.

shocker is a little heavy,that was one reason i took the Impluse over it.Never said it was a bad marker.Its like real big.

Which is why they call it "The beast". It's pretty good though, I cant stand the balance however

To counteract that weight problem, slap a DZ II on a Shocker. With my 68/3000 stub and the cradle pushed all the way front, the tank dosen't even pass the back of the gun.
my DZ II really helps it be more stable.

I would say if you are going to get a gun that is electro and you want co2 then get the impulse and dont havfe to worry about having to pay the extra for a nitro

Well for 650.00 there is the E-Matrix. It can run on C02, but a anti-siphone tube is mandatory and make sure it is properly installed, because if not then it will suck liquid in the gun. The matrix handels c02 well and it operates at about 150-190 psi but with the Trinity mod you can get it as low as 90psi.. THEY ARE SO SWEET
