On a normal temperature day - co2 or air ?

[Hideous]

A question

When i posted about the smallest tank/reg combination it was because of my weakling partner and her weak arms saying that a 68/3000 ws too heavy for her. :kiss:

Now.. CO2 - cylinders are smaller, sometimes lighter, what disadvantages would there be to running the Shocker on Co2 for her ?

[Jamie_Cracker]

i have found co2 to be heavier as you use a liquid in the cylinder instead of just air

[Rainman]

Remember that shockers do go through alot of air/gas, so a normal 20 oz co2 bottle would probably not be enough to get her through a game, all depending on how many shots she will want to use per game.

[Sikosis]

On hotter days CO2 is affected :( so HPA is the way ...

[Jamie_Cracker]

HPA is as well but not in the same degree,you will get spikes with C02 as it heats up with HPA you just have to worry about blowing out your burst disks

LOL - that's really gonna convince him to help you mate (not !!). Guess we've gotta teach you how to ask for things nicely. Ye must learneth to say please and thank you :p

A screw in pre-set would probably be the lightest I'd say. No big adjustable reg on it.

I will pay on that advice .. we have a choice.... centerflag or macdev here in AU///

[Jamie_Cracker]

i use the centre flag on my e orracle as well as my timmy and they work great

[Deadeye]

put a 45/4500 straight into a bottom line and on a 03 Shocker and you will have one of the lightest setups availible, maybe a revy on their instead of a Halo or Egg 2 because thats another few ounces gone. Just be careful to make sure she holds it tight when the wind blows.

good to see some manners shelle! hideous we can talk colours when you ask nicely !!(just kidding) we have a colour similar to your shocker but we havn't done it in a while, the good thing about our screw in's is other than being made here we can set it to suit your marker before sending it out to you. but seriously a conquest would be better (only a tad heavier - barely noticable) if your gf decides she doesn't like the game you can use the quest on anything, ok now i'm back to work !!

[Crazy]

I didn't know James chains were long enough to get to the computer :D

I like the conquest but haven't had much to do with the centre flag.
Honestly the conquest isn't heavy at all.
As with all things it's presonal preference.
Can you see a few mates who have these and try a few out.
