first make sure you need to change to co2. my shocker gets decent milege -WAAYY more than 300/68/3000-i have a 110/3000 and i can come close to shooting pack twice =about 8-900 shots. second and important you can go to co2, but you cannot go back. huge temperature swings of co2 (i was told by tech) eventually delaminate carbon fiber from tank metal. not really issue at 1200psi for co2, but switching back may stress tank. again this is what i was told by a smartparts tech. : Wussup? i have a PMS Nitroduck 68/3K and i'm getting a Smart Parts Shocker later this week, I'v done my homework on the Shocker and found that there are only 2 issues that everyone seems to have with the Shocker; Weight (don't care), and Air effiency. after researching farther on Forums, i found one post of a guy complaining that he's getting 300 shots per fill out of his 68/3000 tank...that made me very nervous, and Since it is a Shocker it seems like my only economical option here is to go to co2...and i'm mostly interested in the Fiber wrapped co2 tanks that come in 68cu and 88cu, but since i allready have the 68cu bottle to work with,im wondering if i could save myself $150 and just switch the regulator on top of my tank with a Valve off of a co2 tank? of course i will be running it straight into the gun so im going to have to spring for the $10 anti syphon tube, but im really just writing to ask if this will be okay? i know that tere's a possibility that im going to fail hydrostat with it if i run co2, because on nitro duck's site it says that co2 eats away at the aluminum little by little, but not at a fast enough rate to be in danger of explosion, because by the time it got to the point where it would be a danger, it would have allready failed hydrostatic tests and wouldn't be abble to be refilled legally anymore, thus rendering it useless, but my main concern is gas effiency, Will this conversion work? what am i leaving out? etc....thanks for your help, Mark
