Ok i am new to regulators and nitro and all that. Infact the only other gun i ever had was a tricked Custom. I ordered my Intimidator(purple/blue...NICE) on tuesday. Thanks to my awesome stepdad i also have a 88/4500 Nitro tank. Its at 3300 right now though... Anyways, i got this awesome timmy on its way, and a awesome nitro tank. NOTHING ELSE! Once i get my timmy i am not going to be able to shoot it till i can save up another 100+ to get a macev gladiator, bottem line adapter, and macroline! So i was wondering how i can power my gun up and dry fire like 100 shots, maybe less. I have my girlfriends run down no name gun that doesnt work anymore and was thinking... "i can just snatch her exp chamber, sttel line, and bottem line adapter to power up my timmy!" The Intimidator has 2 front regs already right??? I am kind of scared to put nitro thru it because the exp chamber has a small leak, but i was thinking this...
CO2 is bad for electro guns because of the liquid, what if i did this.....
can i put like a co2 bottle, that ISNT ANTISIPHON on my gun straight in, which is only like 1/4 full. This will allow it to be a lowered pressure than normall like 800psi from co2, down to like 300psi from being almost empty. The liquid wont get in because its in the bottem of the bottle. I just have to test fire my gun. If anyone has any idea if this is possible please post it!

(i know this is kind of funny and lame, but i am serious, i have to shoot my marker!)

a 1/4 tank of CO2 still puts out full CO2 pressure (which is 300psi). You can try and test fire your timmy with 800psi pressure running in, but some guns just plain don't work at an inline of 800psi. For isntance, I'm lookin at somone's gun right now, and when hooked straight into a tank, the HP reg craps out and overpressurizes

ok thanks, acepaintball hasnt even recieved my payment for the intimidator that i ordered like last week, actually over a week ago. Let me just say this, acepaintball.com has GREAT prices but the WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE ever!!!!!!!!!!!! i called and alsed for the address to send money to, no answer, e-mailed, no answer, faxed, no answer. had to threaten to cancel order b4 i could get a call. After i got the call, he told me the address, i read it back to him, he said it was perfect, i went on the site and found out that the city was misspelled and the zip was wrong, they suck. anyways, i am going to just order a gladiator , macroline, and a drop from 888 or paintballkingdom and get it before i even get my intimidator. I have to make a thread about acepaintball sucking.
