remote coil on impy ?'s

[Impulsekid]

Can you put a remote coil on a impy? If so can you put it on with anti-s on/off c02?:eyes:

yes you can that is what i do but if you run a remote with a anti siphon tube it will turn it to siphon. That would be really bad for your gun.

NO! you can NOT use an anti siphon with a remote. you'll suck up liquid Co2 and baaaaad things will happen to your nice impy.

I haven't done this with my Impy because I found this out the HARD way. Luckily it was with my cousins Tippman. Frose it up like a dang rock. Fortunately it was ok after if defrosted.:D

NO NO NO!!!!!!! never ever run a remote coil with a antisiphon it will suck everything up and freeze your solenoids, Those are expensive to repair. Just dont do it you understand kerby!;)

Thanx Guys and Arthur. Lol. I was just wonderin

I use a remote with my Impulse. Just use a regular tank(no anti-siphon). The important thing is you don't want any liquid in the regulator(and you don't want the gas to turn on too fast, hence the need for an on/off valve).

A remote acts like an expansion chamber so no liquid gets into the gun. So there is no need for anti-siphon(and as others have said...remote+antisphon = siphon because gas at the top of the tank pushes liquid through the tube and into the remote.)

anit siphon is much better then a remote.....remote will let liquid in....

The only way a remote can let liquid into the gun is if the bottle is not upright...which is possible in some circumstances, but rare if you keep it in a harness that holds the bottle vertically. It is equally possible to turn an anti-siphon tank on its side(like if you lean out from a bunker in a wierd way). A remote will also let liquid into a gun if conditions are such that the tank _and_ remote are both completely full of liquid(no gas), which is also equally possible with an anti siphon tank. For this to happen, either your tank is way over filled or it is very very cold(well below freezing). In which case, an anti-siphon will be equally ineffective at keeping liquid out of a gun.

All that an anti-siphon is is a tube that goes from the valve to the pocket of gas in the top side of the tank when it is hooked up to the gun(take a 2-liter bottle of soda and turn it on its side just like it is mounted on a gun. Soda is at the mouth of the bottle and air is floating above it. Now just imagine a straw going from the mouth of the bottle to the pocket of air...that is all an anti-siphon is. If your tank is upright, the pocket of gas is right at the top(at the valve) and there is no need for the tube.
