Question CO2 on an Ion

I know i've posted about this b4 (atleast i think i have) but i just got finished reading the ion manual and no where in it do they say that it is at all wrong to use co2 aslong as you have an anti-siphon. They clearly specify not to use just plain co2 in it but after every time they say that it mentions how you should use an anti-siphon or hpa. Explain.

P.S. If it matters for anything, whenever they say you can use co2 with an anti siphon or an hpa tank they list co2 with an anti siphon before hpa

In no way by doing that do they mean that anti-siphoned CO2 is better than HPA, so don't think that just because it comes first.

And you can run anti-siphoned CO2 on an Ion fine. Who says different?

And man, you really need work on where you make your threads. First, you can search. Any question you ask has most likely been asked in the past. Second, you can atleast post the thread in the right forum. This would have been betetr off in either the Smart Parts forum or the Air Systems forum. And third, it is ok to ask more than one question in the same thread. We don't need clutter.

Yes, I know, I was just answering your question.

And those other people are wrong.

as c02 is not really good for any gun, the ion can run on it.

With HPA your gun will be more accurate because HPA will provide consistent pressure. CO2 pressure spikes unexpectedly, so maintaining a certain FPS won't be possible. And if you're shots are not traveling at the same FPS then they obviously won't be hitting in the same place.

Anti-syphon is just a curved tube that goes in your regular co2 tank. It prevents liquid co2 from entering your marker. It' better than straight co2, but still nowhere near as good as HPA.
