How well does an ion perform with A/S c02

Mpbrianmajor · 11-25-2006, 09:23 AM

Is it able to reach high ROF without freezing? And is it similar to HPA (yes i know HPA is much bettre but i cannot afford it)?

Performs horrible.

Accuracy and consistancy is out the window.

50 bucks will get you a 45/30 steely tank... If you play on a field... get it.

I have a 68/3000 for when i play on a field, when i play woodsball need more shots and 180 for a 68/4500 is alot.

Yeah it wont be real consistant,especially when its new cuase you have to break in the reg.After you break it in though it should get better but its never gonna get real consistant,just nature of co2.run it like that if you have to but save your pennies and get Hpa as soon as you can.High rates of fire arent gonna be a good idea right now till you get the Hpa,it might freeze the orings and such and cause some probs.enjoy

Ehh i'll take my chances. It'll hold me off until i get another HPA tanks. It's alot better then plain c02 right?

Yeah...dont use a co2 tank without the a/s tube or your gonna ruin your Ion.

114/3000 ftw

pukindog · 11-25-2006, 10:32 AM

you said you have a 68/3000. that should be plenty. around 6-700 shots.

gaffy · 11-25-2006, 10:39 AM

Look in the b/s/t section on here for some good deals. You can find a 68/3000 for close to 60 dollars. Also, you can get a good deal on some stubbies or a 68/45. Just save up some money or wait for christmas lol.

Im spending tons of money. Hopper and an insane amount of upgrades on my guns...I doubt i'll have an extra 150 for a tank.

gaffy · 11-25-2006, 10:43 AM

I would get hpa before any other upgrade. That was my first "upgrade" and I don't regret it. And if they are used in the b/s/t section they won't be $150. They are more like 60 to 100 dollars.

It will perform decently. I don't see you really capping the gun out in woodsball so you should be fine.

Exactly. What i do is shoot burst of 5-10.

Eg0man05 · 11-25-2006, 11:55 AM

nitro tank FTW

SmartParts5990 · 11-25-2006, 12:14 PM

if all your doing is bursts of 5-10 at a time an as tank will be fine. itl be bad though if you start shooting up around 10bps for more than 5 or 10 secounds

Paintball2the_max · 11-25-2006, 12:15 PM

I use my Ion occasonaly w/ A/S Co2 when i can't get N2. It works fine even when i'm shooting over 15bps for a little bit.
