hi i recently bought a pmr and havent really had the chance to test it, the only thing i got to shoot it is an 20oz co2 bottle. Now i have heard from numerous people that co2 is bad for any gun but as i havent got an air tank i was wondering whether it would be ok to use just to test shoot a few paintballs through? Also can someone explain why it is bad for the guns and why it is available for use if it is?

co2 is generally a bad idea on electro markers, smart parts say theirs can run on co2 but i really wouldn't advise it.

Co2 is fine for blowbacks and tippys and other non electros.

air ia a cleaner gas than co2 and does not affect o rings and noids.

so stick with air on it and you'll be fine

Is there actually any benefit to Co2? Its hard to get hold of, screws up electro markers and the bottle gets well cold and starts to create condensation after a few shots!
It should be ruled out alltogether!
