Co2 question

[blinkpk11]

hey im useing my shocker for the first time tomarrow, and im going to run Co2, and will my shocker run fine even if the Co tank isnt anti-siphoned? i know it will freeze up the reg (which doesnt bother me). any problems with this?

It should bother you if your reg freezes. If you reg freezes, several bad things will happen.

#1. The reg freezes and becomes unable to stabalize pressure. If the pressure release valve sticks then if you hit a pressure spike, you can kiss your solenoids GOOD BYE.

#2. Liquid co2 in the reg will kill orings at a VERY fast rate.

#3. If any liquid co2 gets in the gun, you can kiss your solenoids good bye, and in a worst case scenario, your electronics board too.


So let's look at this logically. You can spend $15 for an anti-siphon tube to be installed or risk $200-300 in damages to your gun..



On a further note, if you spent that much money for a gun, why are you gonna be a cheap skate on your gas? Sorry but spending $800 for a gun and cheaping out on something like that has got to be one of the WORST thought processes I've ever heard of.
It's in the same league with "Hey, Can I run co2 on my angel?"
