what would recommend on using for your X7 w/ egrip .... Compressed Air 68ci/4500psi HP or CO2?
Since i have the egrip and the HPA tank... should i upgrade the cyclone paddles?? Edited by Cmudge26 - 08 May 2008 at 8:00pm |

Compressed air will always be a better air source for modern markers. The only exception would be on a very select few markers with R/Ts.

Compressed air offers better consistency and performance than CO2.
CO2 offers more shots per tank, on comparable sized tanks, on average. Check local shops for availability before deciding. |

compress air is a lot safer for your gun. compress air is air. co2 starts out as liquid. Co2 gives a lot more shots but compress air is a lot safer for your gun.
1:have more shots but not safe(Co2) 2:have less shot but safe(compress air) |

Co2 can charge your fire rate and it freeze up the inner stuff. compress air doesn't

Its okay stormy here you go
execdrin ftw
Tippmann's are made to run off of either. I have shot an A5 at 15 bps in sleet with CO2 and yes the gun got icey beyond belief on the outside but nothing hapened to the internals. They never stopped up or even slowed down and when I took it apart there was no extra wear on them a all. HPA will give you greater consitency but a Tippmann can run off of either with no problem.

I believe there is no reason for HPA unless you have an electroneumatic gun.
Sorry if i spelt the electro thing wrong, it's kind of a big word. |

HPA is better for any marker. Edited by kurieitaa - 18 May 2008 at 3:06am |
