What is the deal on using CO2 on the shocker? Is anti-siphon a must? What do I need to safely and effectively use CO2 on my shocker?

I'd call an anti-syphon tank a must, if you are using it "on-gun." Remote is a different story. I use a 20oz CO2 anti-syphon tank with an on/off valve. That is a little much b/c I also have an on/off on my KAPP DZ adapter. The on/off is nice b/c it let's you slowly gas up the gun. Gas up too fast and you might blow the electronics.

I just retimed my gun but I won't be able to test it untill next week. I do not imagine there will be any performance difference from on-gun or remote. Using the remote will make the beast MUCH lighter.

ok hall, if u have an anti siphon tank it is meant to be horizontal. using a remote puts it vertical. Vertical tank+anti-siphon=SIPHON!!! DO NOT DO IT!! you turn your anti siphon into siphon when u use remote!!!

Just thought i would tell you..

but I know that. Perhaps I was not clear while typing that. Yes, a anti-syphon tank+remote=syphon tank.

ok, i just didnt want you to mess up such a fine gun as a shocker

It would be ALOT finer if:

1) I got the timing right
2) I figured out how to keep the thing lubed right
3) I had a scuba tank and ran the beast off HPA all the time

while we are on the subject...how do you lube shockers, and what the fudge do u have to time? and how?

Lube: there's the bolt, the fire poppet, and other things that the names escapes me right now. What was it.....for the whole gun you use about what....a quarter sized amount of lube? An amazing little amount

Timing: Pre 2k Shockers have switches that are on or off. My 2k 4x4 has 3 screws on the board that can be adjusted + or-. It's just a matter of turning a screw .05mm at a time and seeing how the gun performs.

The funny thing is, in the manual is stays it comes timed. Yes, but not very well. To get the best performance I had to adjust it myself.
