CO2 on a bushy?

[Buf]

I'v been wondering if there is somehow a way I could use CO2 on a Bushy? cause I can't afford nitro and a bushy. or is there another gun like it that can use CO2?

[Sudden Impact]

Get an impulse or shocker if you want to use co2...but make sure you get an anti siphon bottle...

[dcmander]

You can run co2 just fine on a bushmaster. You just need to do somethings.

You need an antisyphon tube in your co2 tank or you need to run remote. You also need a palmer stabalizer on your gun to make sure no liquid co2 gets into it.

Do a search, youll get more info! Tons of threads in the bushy section on co2 and bushy.

[Richy_C]

Don't tell any one but i did run CO2 on my bushmaster for a couple balls in the back yard, it was ok, but the consistancy wasn't there. If you want CO2, just get an Impulse. Or, consider this. By the time you get all the regs and crap needed for running CO2 on a bushy, you could have afforded a small 47 tank, or a used 68, atleast. EIther way.

okay how many shots would I get of a 47/3000 nitro tank?

[dcmander]

Probably 600-750 .. but w/ a nice gun w/ upgrades you could get 900.. I've seen it. But stock around 650.

Thanks for the info!!!

why would he want a impulse pile of &#%@!, when he can get a bushmaster and have a good marker?

[starboarder2001]

Impulses are just as good or even better!

Damn I needed a good laugh thank you. Better, mabey the day bushmaster is made by BE. tell then keep dreaming.

ummmm...howabout not...the imps are just as good if nt better than a bushy...dont get me wrong, bushmasters are great guns but you have to admit that they are bricks with a stick. Besides for the 450 for a brande new regular busht you can add about 90 and get a vision imp, that comes with max flo(the best reg), a pretty nice stock barrel, and can run great on co2!!!...also that is cheaper than the 560 for the lcd bushy. I cant see how you say they are crap...i can get about 16-18bps on my stock vision imp w/ co2 on just a richochet...its awesome...and btw no chops:P

[starboarder2001]

I realy like both of them but i like the impulse WAY better. I guess impulses vs bushmasters is about the same as
spiders vs 98costoms. I think the bushmaster stock is better than a impulse stock but if u put a few upgrades on a impulse they are way better than ANY bushmaster. Also the impulse comes stock with a maxflow. Also the impulse is backup by smartparts. Also the impulse stock operates at a lowerpressure than a stock bushmaster. The impulse has more and better upgrades than the bushmaster. The impulse vision(the same price as a stock b2k)also has a higher rate of fire than a stock bushmaster.

The impulse overall is a better gun. Your just mad because u wish u had one lol:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Over bear, you're pretty ignorant and sobbish putting down guns like the Impulse and Angel, I don't get it. They're good guns, why can't you accept that? It's not like they eat babies or hid your beer. Live and let live.

[dcmander]

I have to repent a few things..

First off i agree with the analogy of the bushy v impulse is like the tippman vs spyder. Both just about equal, and both are just about equal upgraded. They just have some feel differences.

I have to say though.. The Impulse WAS cheaper than a bushy. But now ICD has changed some things. I believe bushmasters nad impulses stock w/ no ACE or LCD are about the same price. I KNOW that the bushmaster w/ PDS is cheaper than a vision impulse.

I will say that the PDS is better than the vision ONLY because it is doublesided and can see all paints. This IS an advantage.

I dont know how you can call the bushmaster a brick.. But if you do, then you are calling your own impulse a brick. They are basically the same design, and therefore the exterior will have the same basic shape .. Who said guns had to be longer than they are tall anyway? :) More comfortable to me.

There is no way you can say the impulses upgrades are better and they have more of them. They do have more companies supporting them, i agree w/ that. But goldie and his vapor products and macdev makes exceptional products that ARE NOT inferior to any impulse product.

There is no way you can brag about smart parts..i mean honestly. ICD IMO is better than smart parts on the customer service. They were both dumb companies to start w/, but ICD has wised up some over the last few months w/ upgrades, sponsorships, and advertising. SP has always had good advertising. But i believe its the other companies that are keeping them alive on the market.

Basically, the reason i liked the bushy was that it felt better and had an LPR. I really liked the idea of an LPR and changing my preferences around a bit. Many impulse owners are putting LPRs on their impulse.. I dont understand it much. Why not just get a bushmaster?

But don't try to make the bushy sound inferior to the impulse because it is not. Just like i wont try to make the impulse look inferior to the bushy, cause its not. They both have their ways of getting eliminations on the field, and thats what really counts.

Oh, and also.. DOn't judge all bushy owners because of what overbear does.. Leave him alone, hes just a palmer whore :P

[ccrnnr9]

Well i guess the reason i picked the imp over the bushmaster was that i felt it was a much better deal. I do have a great amount of funds and wanted a nice gun that i probably wouldnt have to invest on a nitro sysytem, and wouldnt frequently chop. So what do ay know i got an impulse. Ever since i started playing pb though i will say that the bushmaster was always the gun i thought looked the best. The thing i dont understand is why would ICD still make all the different modes of fire if they are not even leagal???...also why doesnt ICD amke the batterey life better...when i was researhing, i found many sources that said that bushmasters could only get about 5000 shots per 9volt...the imp can get about 15000 per 9vt. Also what is this PDS???Is it basicly the same thing as the vision???...also i have never heard of the vision on the impulses having trouble reading paint....the main paint i use is worr paint which is black w/ a green fill. I only have the vision set halfway and it still has not trouble reading the paint. My vote still goes for the imp....but both are virtually equal.

[starboarder2001]

I guess I just realy like smartparts products. But the only product i like from icd is the bushmaster.

Talk to me some time in private about the angel. I have some data that will change your mind about that imported pile of junk,

As to the impulse Vs. Bushmaster, Simple chalk it up to brand loyalty. Shrubmisters have never let me down, never stoped working, and never cost me to much to upgrade. Why not be loyal to ICD?

[ccrnnr9]

smart parts hasnt let me down nor have I heard very many people say it let them down why not stay with them?:confused: :|

[overbear]

cause ive seen too many shocker owners stuck in the parking lot trying to fix their marker while I walk by laughing and go play.

[starboarder2001]

hmmm...I havent.


i havent heard of a Shrubmisters......maybe its a new gun from icd?????? j/k

[ccrnnr9]

and that is the marker we are comparing the shrubmister to when???...it that case lets all take a minute to laugh at alley cats and thunder cats...:laugh: :blah:

[B2k2baller]

i hate co2 co2 is for @#$$%@:laugh: :biglaugh:

[dcmander]

ICD makes good products. The Desert Fox is sweet man. It just had to go up against the smartest company (IMO) in the business. AGD and its automag. It has hard competition being the blowforward it is :)

The Thundercat is a cool gun and is just lower end, but it is very reliable.

I've never shot an Alleycat, but hey. It's a pump. Theres not THAT much difference between pumps, excluding the more expensive ones.

The PDS is a 2sided ACE system. It will see all paints and wont have trouble reading black or shiny paints like the impulse does. (Its natural.. If you use a reflection ACE system you could chop.. The Chaos ACE for the bushy is reflective, and its had problems w/ reading black paint..It just the fact that its a one-sided reflection eye).

The PDS stock bushy 2k is also very cheap. I think it is 525$ w/ the PDS and no LCD. How much is the Vision Impulse? The last time i looked it was like 600$ .. But i haven't looked for a lonnnng time.. But i do think bushys are cheaper by a little, and the ace is just better and more accurate.

I've shot atleast 8-10 cases through my bushy and haven't had to change the battery yet. So i don't know what thats about .. I have never heard that argument.

I guess ICD still makes mode becuase they have already made the software.. It doesn't cost htem any extra money to put in a chip w/ modes. They just include it for fun. You can get an SO chip if you ask them when you buy it :) The modes are fun too :P It's not hard to lock it in semi, and it is legal in all tournys i've played it. I don't play NPPL however.. But honestly, how many of you guys do? Plus a SO chip from ICD isn't expensive, and its NOT a big problem.

I think ICD loses a lot of business because of the trigger spring. It is too light, and people don't know that you can change it to set it up how you like. I think they would get a lot more business w/ a thicker trigger and stronger return spring stock. I mean it takes 10 seconds to change.. Just add shims a strong spring..But people dont know that, so they look to something else :(

ICD is great. I've never been a fan of Smart Parts, for many, various reasons.

Who ever said Bushies battery life is that bad is a fool. My Vision sucks up some battery, aw shucks, only 30,000 shots before i have to change it. That's a stupid argument.

Bushmasters are more effecient then most Impulses, but the fact remains, the practical differance is... not there

My vision see's Diable Midnight, pretty much the only popular black paint on the market. It had some trouble seeing 32 degrees, but then again, that paint sucks.

There are pretty much only 3 things I miss about my Bushmaster, the lighter weight, Sonic and Ripper frames(kinda killed by the fact that I can get an Iframe) and the effeciency, thats it.


Overbear, loyalty is cool, but slander is a differant matter. They're just paint guns, not terrorists.

[ccrnnr9]

the imps vision eye is great...mine can see black paint when is it set at less than half way sensitive. I really dont know aht your'e talking about. And about being effecient, my imp gets about 1500 shots off of a 20 oz. anti-siphon

[bpsniper]

Isnt this a forum on CO2 on a bushie, someone make a forum on Bushie vs. impulse, or make a forum.

[B2k2baller]

y would you even think about posting a imp thing on a bushy forum. becasue a alot of people who own a bush y hate imps
