C02 and HPA Compatible?

I was just wondering if I time the gun and sweetspot the regs and stuff, basically setup my cocker to my liking on C02 then play with HPA will everything be allright? And vice versa? My situation is that I can't really get a ride to fill nitro but I have a anit-siphoned C02 cylinder that's full. BTW I have a high pressure air tank. I am thinking that the only problem could be the regulators? Cause the pressure the C02 puts out my be different then the HPA so I will have to sweetspot the regs again. But that's perfectly fine.

you shouldn't have a problem. hpa tanks output about 800psi(preset tanks) and thats about what a co2 tank outputs on average. you will be less consistant tho.

I would say that you would not need to sweetspot the reg for Co2, but just adjust your IVG to make sure your not shooting hot, but leave you reg setup for your nitro.
the problem w/ co2 is that it can be released at around 850 psi but can have major pressure spikes when compressed back to a liquid then gas again. (thats what that little vent hole is for on you LPR) the output of Co2 is much more reliant on the outside temp, so it will almost never be the same day to day.

I guess in short, I wouldn't worry too much about efficiency w/ co2 just make sure its under 300 fps for safety.
