egrip on co2

[feeeebleminded]

i read somewhere, i forgot where, that using the egrip with co2 isnt good. is this true?

[sarduy]

False!!!

[pballmaniac5693]

i dno, false i believe, there is no way the co2 should come in contact with the egrip, unless in leaks like crazy.......

[hunter2]

It does not matter.

[NoelyDeezNutz]

It won't hurt the etrigger ... But the etrigger will bring out all the problems co2 has... If not regulated properly

And if you shoot fast for an extended period of time.

[ICU117]

No problems with having CO2 and an egrip. Thats mostly with guns with exposed solenoids, since liquid co2 would mess with one, but on the egrips, its way down inside the grip, so no worries.

[TheSpy11]

Tippmanns + e-grips + Co2 = no major problems. O-rings are the only things that can go bad.



I just can't believe the Co2 nonsense one hears these days. Almost everyone equates Co2 to the "evil" gas, yet it was the industry standard just a few years ago.

[hunter2]

and it still is. I think.

[TheSpy11]

Recreational woodsball yes. Speedball I would say no. However the transition is definitely going towards the HPA side.

[NoelyDeezNutz]

co2 isnt EVIL... but it can cause issues, especially in speedball when a marker is laning a consistant 15bps... snow and velocity drops and spikes are NO fun on a speedball course...

co2 can actually be better than HPA if done correctly... seeing as it has more stored energy than hpa does

[ycfan456]

I say in 5-10 years HPA will be the industry standard.

[feeeebleminded]

so i dont need to get HPA or an A/S'd tank?i can use co2 with my 98c with egrip right?

[bvdave]

right, tho whooting that fast you coudl start to have troubles with the gas not having time to expand, a expansion chamber or remote (or both) could help fix this as it allows more room for co2 in the marker that it can hold at a time. kinda like giving it more of a buffer i guess you coudl say..

[NoelyDeezNutz]

Instead of the expansion chamber, get a good regulator....

X-chambers are a great idea on paper, but in the real world they don't do that great...

Regs. Do a much, MUCH better job of keeping co2 consistant...
And a/s tubes are only a few bux at most shops.... Very good investment....

[pbmike1888]

i use my egrip on unregulated un-xhambered Co2. it gets cold sometimes but it depends on your style. i kno the tippmann can handle the Co2, and i play woodsball, so i dont shoot alot anyway. so until i feel the need for a chamber or a regulator, i dont worry bout the Co2 getting in the gun.

[TheSpy11]

No, you don't NEED HPA or an anti-siphon. If there's one gun that I wouldn't worry about running straight Co2 on at very high speeds, it's a Tippmann. Of course HPA or an A/S is better, but you don't have to go that route.

[nikeeric]

i run a 98 pro E with an anti-siphon tank and a palmers regulator. the consistency at the chrono of this set up is just as good as when i use to have A HPA tank. ive played a couple of games on full auto and had no problems.

[feeeebleminded]

i think ill just go with HPA since alot of people recommend it and they say its more reliable

[skiedge1]

Yeah, I have friends who play with CO2 on their e-gripped a-5's, and it doesnt' cause major problems. I also have an e-gripped (and rampaged) a-5, but I use HPA, because I respect and care for my gun. You won't break it with CO2, but you're not doing it any good either, especially if you find yourself in a situation that requires sustained high-ROF firing (i.e. suppressing or cover fire). Also, HPA is much cheaper to fill, and you can get a steel tank for well under 100 USD

[GoodwineSI]

I say in 5-10 years HPA will be the industry standard.
