: CO2 @ 30 degrees= a pressure of 500psi (+/-). I can a cocker running fine on CO2 in below freezing weather, but if the tank tempature no matter where it is (remote or on gun) is @ zero or minus zero the gun won't operate effectivly. The tank pressure is around 300 psi or below if the tempature is in the zero range. I don't see a cocker or any low pressure gun work well in that type of weather. Of course normal people don't play in that cold of weather, but then again there is nothing normal about a Paintball Player. : later : : I disagree, I have run my cocker year round on C02 before I went HPA, and know many others that have and still do. And I live 30 min north of Seattle WA. I would however recommend running a remote so as not to feed liquid C02 into the marker, or use an anti-sipon tank at the least. You will definitely have less probs with HPA, but you can still be successful with C02, I hear there are pro teams that still use it. : : Razor : : : : As you might know the CO2 won't work very well below 60 degree's and once you get into the 50's and 40's you can forget about using C02. Back in the day when C02 was the only thing avalible, people use to have warmers (ie. Sock or blanket heaters) of some kind to heat up there C02 tanks. This is not a good idea, and don't recomend it all. To many problems will be created in doing it. : : : You can set up your C02 tank (16oz and up) with an anti-siphon tub when the weather is warm. : : : Sorry, Nitro is the only safe way to go. If it's heard to get to Nitro or compressed air, try the scuba tank method. Most scuba tanks can't fill beyond 3000psi, but it might work in your case. No matter what way you go it will cost you $$$. : : : later OHHHH man where do I begin.. as a Airsmith and a Cocker fanatic...YES you most certainly can run Co2 ALL YEAR LONG in the NW on a cocker... ANTI SIPHON is a MUST HAVE...unless you like remotes.. I find they get in the way but its a personal preferance issue...I live in Portland and play all year long...USE IT!!!! Play HARD.. Mike
