Would a/s co2 work on a Bushmaster?

[macdev_cyborg]

1.I was wondering if anti-siphoned co2 would work in a 2004 Bushmaster?
2.Does the 2004 Buchmaster have eyes or any type of anti-chop system?
3.Does anti-siphoned co2 work on the Promaster?

1. technically it will work, but I wouldnt shoot over a few bps, you would have to be careful. the PM uses delrin reg pistons, not as good for regulating CO2 as metal. additionally there is a chance of liquid CO2 getting into your gun and messing up the solenoid. I really really really don't recommend it unless you have either a female stabilizer, an aftermarket inline, or both.
2. The B2K4 came in two different versions. A PDS version and a non-PDS version. You can tell that a bushy has PDS because it has long slanted eye covers on the side, looks alot like the ones on your cyborg. Most of the bushies currently still for sale from online retailers are non-PDS.
3. See #1. I wouldn't risk it.

just curious, but if you have a Borg (GIMME!!!!!) and a HPA tank already to go with it, why would you buy a Bushy or PM and run CO2 through it? I'm assuming you're looking for a backup gun?

I'am looking at Action Village and I don't see any B2K4's with eye covers.
How does a female stabilizer help with a/s co2?

[lotus_esprit5]

yeah i didnt think they had any left.

a female stabilizer would regulate the CO2 down to a lower pressure and allow it to expand into a gas before it gets into your inline, so its basically impossible for liquid CO2 to get into your gun. In addition, many ppl buy a new inline which is good at regulating CO2, such as a Male Stab or Fatty Stab.

I'am confused.
Does a female stabilizer replace the foregrip?
Where does a fatty stabilizer go?
Where does a male stabilizer go?
Does anyone have any pictures they could send me?
I only have the money to get one stabilizer, which one should I get, and where does it go?

[lotus_esprit5]

ok i see, well if the availability of HPA is so bad then yeah I guess you dont have a choice but to use CO2.

Female stab replaces bottomline ASA. the tank screws directly into it.
male stab replaces inline.
fatty also replaces inline. its a slightly different version of the male stab, generally for lower pressure apps like paintball guns and as such has faster recharge.
IMO a Fatty stab would be the best, if you had to get one. that way you get the benefit of increased protection against liquid CO2, plus improved inline consistency and recharge, which you wouldnt have as much of if you got a female stab and kept the stock inline.

Get the male stabilizer and then just use a regular on/off ASA.

or get a remote line, the length of the line should be long enough to allow the co2 to expand. I still don't like to use co2, ever since it turn my thundercat into a block of ice.

Does a remote work better than an anti-siphon?
Isn't it uncomfortable to not have a tank on the back of your gun?

[pk5]

You need both a remote and anti siphon. The reason for using a remote is that it will give the co2 a longer travel distance so that the co2 have time to expand into gas. And yes using a remote will feel differently, especially with a heavy hopper on top. But this is the safest way to use co2, especially if you can't afford both a palmer male and a palmer females. Otherwise if co2 ever get into your solenoid that is a 120 dollars repair bill (just for the solenoid alone). If you are lucky you maybe able to rebuild the solenoid if that happen, but you may also blow your solenoid.

Using a remote and an anti-siphon would be pointless.
The anti-siphon would just be sucking up liquid due to the tank being positioned vertically.
For an anti-siphon to work it has to be positioned horizontally so that the tube would be at the top of the tank where it would be sucking up gas instead of liquid.
