as far as I know, the remote line like I use on the x7 makes your CO2 an anti-siphon style tank...since its so far away, and usually the tank is upright on your back, it keeps liquid CO2 from getting in your gun.

cant get hpa filled where i live unfortunatly

untill you lie down

***martix_agent*** · July 18th, 10:20 PM

except that at sub-zero temperatures, teh co2 wont' be expanding anyhow. let me finda co2 pressure to temperatue chart .

as you can see, at sub zero temp, cot is outputting less than 500psi.

o10jack01o · July 18th, 10:23 PM

i cant see the chart ( coming up with the 'x' in a box)

o10jack01o · July 18th, 10:27 PM

so a-5 or SP1. either way im guna do **** in cold weather?

***TheAznInvazn*** · July 19th, 01:40 AM

Good thing the SP1 cycles at less than 500 psi?

You could buy your own compressor and hpa tank if you really wanted to...

o10jack01o · July 19th, 02:42 AM

not when the only legal tank is 68ci and cost $350 new

***TheAznInvazn*** · July 19th, 02:47 AM

hmmm.. I see your point.

So how do your friends handle the situation?

o10jack01o · July 19th, 03:19 AM

at the moment we just deal with it. we all use spyders and tippmanns with a few guys with decent guns (ions, wraths)

***TheAznInvazn*** · July 19th, 03:22 AM

I hope they have anti-siphons or something on those Ions

o10jack01o · July 19th, 03:25 AM

oh he runs a remote lol. we also shoot as little as often down to about 1-2 shots a second

I didn't think it got really cold in New Zealand? I've seen SP1s on CO2 work in temps of -20C here and they held up alright you do just have to watch the speed you are shooting at but that goes for any marker running on CO2. The reg doesn't vent when it gets cold it vents when your marker sucks in liquid CO2 to release the excess pressure and to prevent the liquid from wrecking the electronics.

No scuba diving shops in your area?

Of course, the $350 to buy the tank is pretty stiff.

yea. i figured out that it would be cheaper to pay to make a wire transaction, buy a tank in the USA, pay for shipping to NZ, change exchange rates to US dollar and pay the duty fee than buy in my own country (only save like $15 but still). if only i had a friend that lived their

Crawdaddy · July 22nd, 06:44 PM

You still might not be able to use it. I know that when I buy a tank from the U.S I have to make sure that it is stamped for use in Canada or I can't get it filled I'd imagine it would be the same in New Zealand as well. Just make the most of CO2 one of the best things about it is how easy it is to find that is the main reason I bought a Blazer and if you work within the limits of CO2 you can get some very consistent results.
