one of my cockers is set up just for CO2. 3.5oz expansion chamber and 20oz antisiphon

get a palmers reg and antisiphon your tank. or just get a 47/3000 for teh same price.

You don't have to have an anti-siphon, but I would strongly recomend it.

unless its bladed ur fine. But be careful, if u use a reg with co2 thats not antisyphed ur goin have very cold hands, and nice velocity spikes. AND even with as tank u'll have a lil coldness, which will lower pressure blah blah.

hpa is that way to go. U can find a tank on ebay for 30 bucks, thats cheaper than a as tank, now is it a good tank, prolly not, a 47/3k with a 2k2 or 2k3 hydro, but spend 20 bcuks in a year and ur good to go.

I think a tank was my biggest invesments when i got goin. Bougth a used 68/45 for liek 130, a lot then, but that tank has served many guns, and will prolly outlive my paintball life, if that will happen (spits to the side)

DO what u will

ya it will be fine but the only problem is that your velocity will not be the way it should be on a cocker


Huh?

If anything your velocity would be higher, CO2 expands much more than HPA, so less air is needed with CO2 than HPA, so it would take less CO2 than HPA to get it up to your desired FPS.
