Paintball CO2

bd1975

My wife found some 20 lb canisters that you use for paintball guns. She got two and had them filled for less than 40.00, refills are 2.00. I let my co2 escape into my co2 boost bucket, the pump picks it up and takes it to a misting unit with a fan behind it.{wal-mart 10 bucks}
You don't have to use this set-up...the canister has a valve on it that lets you release gas...you can do this a few times during your lights on period..just make sure you have a fan going to keep it off the floor as co2 is heavier than air. CO 2 does make a difference if you use it right...this way you can try some before moving up to tanks and co2 units. My hydrofarm unit will hook straight up...don't know about others.

wait 20 lbs tanks or 20 oz tanks? 20 oz tanks would be for paintball guns 20 lbs tanks are like scuba diver tanls and if they fill 20 lbs tanks for $2 thats a steal costs me $24 to fill a 20 lb tank which would fill about 20 20 oz tanks lolThat hurt my head

right on another paintball player.
what marker are you using at the mo.

green_nobody

i'm a bit old school, big time fan of those old hammer pumps, so got a few of em, if too many e-cockers are in the field i switch to pretty much out-of-box 98 custom that only got a internal polish... and if get finally pissed i got a wgp blackmagic on my hands, but this thing eats really into my budget besides i don't want to bang that one up, to hack with the tippman but the wgp was just too expansive for that:Ashamed:

nice on eyou have ytourself a little arsnel there.
i had a 98 custom but traded it for an a5 which should arrive anyday now

green_nobody

i tried the a5 first before i got me the 98c, but the a5 was me a touch to heavy and the cyclone feed is a pain if the system jams, with the 98c i can make a quiet impressive lil drill to fix that - and since i'm a die hard woodland freak that isn't afraid to go down and dig some mud this is key. main downside of the 98 is the long cut for key of the action, but the action is heavy and some double strips of duct tape fix this well too.
too bad you traded ours, but maybe the a5 is made for you have fun man

yeah i did enjoy the 98 was my first marker and will always be a great gun ive never tried the a5, so i thought i give it a go if i like the 98c i can always trade back. i do like the flatspin barrel on the a5 thou all silenced up and very scary looking.
so you do senario games with your pals?

I swear...if folks did'nt know ya'll were talking about paintball guns this would sound like some serious stuff...lol...it is serious to me...I bump into something and get a bruise the size of a 50 cent piece. Have ya'll seen the show that comes on at midnight about where sam, kit cope and ellis
are always trying out these crazy stunts and such? They had paintballs on there and no pads or anything and those guys got burnt up....I think it's most outrageous stunts or something.
