n2 is better for your gun , cleaner , more consistant and just alot easier and if you are going to get a new higher end gun you wont need to buy a nitro tank cause you will already have one.

For my A-5 I would vote HPA (N2)

But for my SMGs & 68-Specials (and SL-68 in the winter) I would vote CO2 - liquid CO2 from a syphon tank to be specific.

So this poll really depends on what marker you have.
A-5: 12" Ceramic, Egrip/WAS/Duel, HPA, MP5 sliding stock
SMG-68: 12" Ceramic
68-Specials(8): 12"&14" Ceramic, 12V Revy *** 1 Tip-n-Strip, 1 Blue, 1 FA w/Qloader
SL-68: 14" Ceramic
SMG-60 Ext. Line

n2 all the way, other than price, there are no drawbacks to it. Co2 is alright but as soon as i found someone to fill n2 i bought a tank that night. Best thing i ever did for paintball.

HPA (not N2!!!!!!!!) is the way to go. other than the price, its just so much better. co2 is fine for me in the summer though. i dont have too many problems with it in the warm weather. i use it then because of the fill price, and number of shots.

ok at my local p-ball store i can buy 9 ounces of CO2 for 3.00,
and 3000psi of N2 for 3.00...so i got both filled and with n2 i got
550 or so shots off...but i used some co2 to dust the inside of
my iMac, so i cant really compare, but as soon as i can i will!

no, all you need for HPA, high pressure air, is a high output tank. you can get a secondary regulator for better preformance, but its not nessesary.

yeah, if you think your gun runs at a lower pressure than
850p.s.i. than you can buy a secondary regulator and prolly get
a lot more shots from saving that air...BUT like trighappy1 said
you dont need its just something thats nice to have

68ci 4500 crossfire fiber wrapped he has only used it 3 or 4 times

would my stock a5 be considered a high pressure marker?

ugh...please get a clue every time you say something you make it more and more clear you have no idea what your talking about when it comes to paintball. HPA is stored in the tank as a gas do it DOES NOT need to expand.

 I picked N2 for two reasons. One that it gives you a better consistancy of shot than CO2 does and because it's better for your gun.

But it's cheaper to fill. If you play a lot like myself, the tank will pay itself off in no time.
