Even if it is anti siphoned i would really advise against it, at one of the b.y.o.p on nights there was a guy there using anti siphoned co2 and it still froze up his regulator=not good

Yeh not a good choice on the anti syphon... I know that HPA tanks are expensive but its worth it. Not only do you risk the reg being froze up, but if you get ANY co2 crystals in your noid your screwed! So i vote HPA.

The Ion was designed to be OMNI gas ready. Yes a siphon is required with CO2 but sure it works.
The problem with CO2 is the shoot down. You bought an electro to shoot fast right? well the Co2 doesn't recharge enough pressure fast enough to keep up with the marker. That's why you get air. If your just doing bushball and don't shoot over 4-5 balls a second then CO2 is fine and you won't have issues. -------------------- |
