Wellp, Just bought me an RT (older vversion) off ebay, and wellp, wondering if i could use muh co2, or does it need its nitro? i understand the rt PRO needs nitro but its an older model

***MedicDVG*** · September 11th, 11:24 PM

Generally most mags need HPA. If you have teh calssic valve or older, they can run on anti-siphoned Co2. RT, RT Pro, X valve, and Emags all MUST be run of HPA or you will wreck the internals.

It's RT, so co2 is still a big no no

**PepsiKidd** · September 13th, 10:14 PM

Aite well, just asking cus, its got classy vavule and my ex freind is charging 35 dolla a fill of nitro and nitr is 200 miles away... so i donno

if ur positive that it has a classic valve (it says classic on it), then it isnt an rt, its a classic. if it is a classic then c02 will "work". Nitro of course is always better but if you only have co2 then it will be fine. Just make sure what valve you have. if it says classic then its a classic, not an rt. If it says rt, rtx, retro, x, emag, xmag, then you need to use nitro. just be sure

K, well i have classic valvue, and an RT so i can use Rt and just get nitro fill statoin and use my sucbas

sslecyk03 · September 13th, 10:42 PM

so you have two valves? if you use the classic you can use co2, and shoot slower and less consistantly, use rt and u need nitro, and shoot faster and more consistantly. rt + nitro = best choice

**dhill0413** · September 13th, 11:29 PM

using co2 with the classic will still freeze it up. if u can remote it or run it vertical then youll be ok.

sslecyk03 · September 14th, 11:18 AM

dont say it WILL freeze it up because it wont, only if liquid co2 gets into the gun. a remote will help or an x-chamber. Running it vertical with help as well as long as you dont tilt the gun, which alot of ppl do. anti-siphon is another option.

Of if it's cold as hell out... that will also do it. Believe me on that one.

shoot 50 shots on a tank at 5bps and it will freeze. shoot slowly(unrealistically) and it wont freeze.

in a realistic situation, it will freeze on a normal co2 bottle

dang $35 to fill a scuba tank?! I have a 3500psi scuba tank and they charge me $5 to fill it up and it lasts me at least 2-3 times of playing. sounds like your getting ripped if your paying $35 to fill your scuba tank.

Lord Headley · September 14th, 06:24 PM

Do you mean you have a HPA tank? Cause they cost about $3-$5 to fill. It's a big difference from a SCUBA tank.

sslecyk03 · September 14th, 08:15 PM

heh, my proshop fills to 4500 and they only charge a buck

I have both. I have a 68 cu" Centerflag 4500psi on my autococker and an Air America Appocalypse 72 cu" 4500psi for my timmy. I use a steel scuba tank thats rated at 3500 psi for air fills. I get the scuba tank filled up at a scuba shop for $5 and it lasts me 2-3 days of paintball. Its better than paying $20 bucks at the field for all day compressed air fills.

**Bubbahotep** · September 15th, 07:06 PM

might as well get nitro, cuz it is all around better than co2

**AGD_kid** · September 16th, 07:24 PM

unless u have a tippy. lol

sslecyk03 · September 16th, 09:09 PM

lol? a tippy would run better on nitro as well...

**AGD_kid** · September 17th, 06:32 PM

nope, from all the work i have dome on them, tippmanns seem to work better with co2

Lord Headley · September 17th, 06:33 PM

Well, they were designed for CO2. The cvx valve was made to handle liquid better then any other valve out there. Though it's cheap as anything
