u can use co2 or NO2.. doesn't matter...

you'll probably get better performance out of the NO2 though

i love my icone....no problems so far, except with minor questions and parts. lot's of upgrades available! cool marker.

I have a Icon E! the only way u can run no2 threw it is by buying an adaptor and some other poopy. The gun is only supposed to have co2 running threw it if u use no2 it might work but it is really bad for the gun. Get a anti chop bolt and a T board and a new barrel and reg and sell the peice for a better gun

Are you on crack? Your typing sucks and you don't need any kind of adapter to run HPA. A simple screw in tank will screw right in like CO2.
If your tank wasn't a screw in that was a diff story, the adapters will be needed to make it work on any marker then. HPA, compressed air, N2, or no2 as you called it(which is not used in paintball) is cleaner than CO2. It is also better to use on paintball markers. Antichop bolts are pointless, I have not seen one that worked very well and worth what they charge. If you get a t-board install the eyes and it will work better than any bolt.

thanks guys,

i ended up getting a new one instead,

my plans for now are icon-e black, empire twister 14, egg2 or halob, antisyphon c02 tank, palmers male stab,

later on i will get the t-board w/eyes, and other various little items. still reading up on this board alot, its too new to me, lots and lots of stuff to learn.

Skip the hopper (stick to a revvy for a bit longer) and the reg. Try to get HPA next, you can find used 48/3000 tanks for around $50.

[sierra01]

not doubting you or anythign, just trying to learn,

but is there any reason not to get the palmers or the hoopers, egg or halob,

if thats the case and i will save money on the hooper, since the revvy is only about 50 bucks, what other little items could i make up for with the 50 in savings that you would recomend?

oh i forgot, how many balls can i shoot with the hpa tank?

[neo71665]

I get abot 1000 shots out of my rebel LE with the 48/3000. I'm saying skip the hopper and reg cause HPA will be a better investment for you right now.

first I would get a barrel or barrel kit
second a HPA set up
3rd a good hopper
4th and on- all the lil goodies you want

CO2 is known to be dirty and cause really bad velocity spikes. HPA is clean and alot calmer gas. Chances are as you get more imvolved in the sport you will want a higher end marker and won't be able to use CO2 on it. The halo is over kill on a marker with a 13 bps cap, a revvy will do ine for now. With the extra money, save it and add more to it for upgrades. You can find revvies for cheaper than $50, buy one used for $10-25. Ebay has been having then new for $35.
