Vector air source question

I've recently picked up a Vector (thanks Latoolman, I love it) and I was curious what the best air source would be.
I chronoed it with the velocity screw all the way out and it went like this.

HPA= 250 fps average
Co2= 315 fps average
Liquid= 370 fps average

Probably regular Co2 would be my best bet,
but I was wondering if it was supposed to work well on Liquid Co2 or is this a no-no.

Quoting WOLLFFY on AO;
I don't recall mentioning trades, especially not for smart Farts. Thanks though.

They like normal CO2 the best, and do well with a regulator that has good flow. I run an AA Vigilante on mine, it keeps up well.

Being somewhat inefficient (that's the understatement of the year), regulated CO2 will provide the best combination of performance and utility. Any good CO2-friendly reg will work, but PPS Stabilizers are probably the most commonly-used on Vectors. Back when I had my Vec, a female Stab & 20 oz. anti-siphon tank made for perfect balance and usually got me around 600 shots before needing a refill (a bit more in warm weather, a bit less in cooler temps).

Vectors were designed to shoot anything and survive. I have torture tested Vectors by screwing an overfilled 20oz tank directly into the asa and firing the gun straight down until it was too freezing cold to hold even with gloves and the Vector will keep shooting snow until you stop pulling the trigger.

It looks like your Vector likes CO2 and that is typical. Regulators are nice to enable external velocity adjustment.

One a nice summer day, even a gas-hog Vector will let you play all day with a 20 or 24oz tank screwed into the stock. You will go partially deaf before you run out of gas.

Like Wacke I use a female Stab & 20 oz. and it has always worked well for me.

"Wacke"... I like that.

Wyckster, you may have a new nickname in the running here.

Wacky Wycke or Wycke the Wacke. Either way that's a done deal.
