I know this is a big no no, i have HPA but i can't get it filled untill next weekend and i don't wanna wait that long just to test fire the marker. Can i run co2 into this baby? its unshiphoned but its like 30 shots maybe.

**lifeforce4** · September 13th, 07:41 PM

Yah if is a anti-siphoned co2 tank even if its not you could get away with shooting 30 shoots.

30 shots should be fine if its a mechanical cocker. Just dont rapidfire.

Dude, I dont know if Im reading this in the wrong context, but Lifeforce and I just said it was infact okay. You made your statement as if both of us said NO DONT DO THAT! 30 shots is ok.

haha. I just shot it, i love the thing. I need a small n2 tank though, but all is well other wise. the regulator got a little cold because i decided to show off to my bro a little bit:P it should be fine, and actually shooting paint through it wasn't so bad. I didn't shortstroke for being my first time. I already enjoy test firing my cocker more than i should lol. I'm gonna enjoy this thing...
Nice cat..

OK here is some advice from an "OLD TIMER". I started playing paintball when Autococker first came out and I always used CO2 and it never has or ever will hurt your gun. Wether you anti-siphon it or not. The purpose of anti-siphoning it is to keep your shots more consistant keeping liquid CO2 out of the gun. Anti-siphoning will not guantee you don't get liquid in the gun.

my 2 cents!!

**Zunger** · September 14th, 12:34 PM

Its not that CO2 will hurt your gun, its the fact that CO2 freezes your O-Rings, and that can be a bad thing. If your gun isnt electronic then a few shots here and there wont "hurt" it w/or without an anti-siphon...however, i still wouldnt suggest running it even in a non-e marker. If your famaliar with your marker: ie taken it apart, then your going to realize when you lose compression due to a broken/cracked seal/oring that you have no worries, replace a few parts, then do it again....i guess.....Ill give my gun a little bit of respect and just run HPA.

**jeluso** · September 14th, 12:36 PM

when cockers came out hpa wasnt even around, i ran co2 on my mech 03 when i had it, didnt shoot as nicely as hpa, but it deffinatly shot.

**lifeforce4** · September 14th, 12:49 PM

It will shoot, wont brake the gun, and the worse thing that can happen is you may need to replace the o-rings just because they cracked. So go ahead and shoot all you want if you cant get HPA right now but want to test it. If you are freaking out about doing it after reading all these posts dont worry nothing bad will happen to your gun if it is a Mech cocker. Just remember that if you start to hear a leak again dont get up tight about it, probably is just a bad o-ring.

ROCK THE CO2

**lbreevesii** · November 22nd, 10:50 AM

just to reiterate the fact that co2 is fine for cockers. cockers were developed in the days when co2 was ALL that was even avaliable. at most using co2 on a cocker will cause condensation to gather, mabye give you a cold burn from the reg. but other than that i've had NO problems with co2 on my cocker. friend of mine who just sold his ICD freestyle and is getting a timmy borrowed my cocker yesterday. he came back w/ it covered in condensation. big whoop. wipe it off. its no big deal guys. you do not have to have hpa for a cocker. it is good comfort wise and consistancy wise, but its fine to use co2.

**Cocker16** · November 22nd, 12:14 PM

Its Also good if you have an Eblade or elevtronic frame. pretty sure youd get shootdown if u use co2.

**lbreevesii** · November 22nd, 02:10 PM

^ good point. thanks. i forgot to mention that earlier. if you are shooting fast, like with an e-blade then you can/will get shootdown using co2 on a cocker. mech cockers co2 is fine(refer to my previous post)

**jeluso** · November 22nd, 02:53 PM

do not run co2 if you have an ebladed (electro) cocker.
just dont.

edit
why are we talking about this still, lol, the thread is from along time ago.

**Oscarine** · November 24th, 12:29 AM

Although I agree you shouldn't run CO2 on a bladed cocker... I've seen it done with fine results. A friend of mine bought my old cocker, worrbladed it and ran it for the past month with CO2 through a Palmer's Stabalizer, it was fairly consistant even when taken out into around 40-45 degree weather.

**jeluso** · November 24th, 02:43 AM

wow, i would have to see that to believe it, cool beans though.
