why did u sticky the thread???? and in the wrong forum... this could turn ugly for u .... lol
CO2 is a liquid in the tank, it expands in the gun and/or expansion chamber to a gas that powers the paintball and accesories (r/t etc.)
pros:
-low cost for tanks
cons to co2:
-Possibility of spikes
-Freezups
-Liquid doesnt expand to gas
Because the CO2 is a liquid changing to a gas it needs certain temperatures to expand properly to a gas, if it is to cold then the liquid can not expand
N2 or HPA is already a gas compressed in the tank.
pros:
-No need for expansion
-with a proper regulator the gas will always enter the gun at a with good consistansy therfor giving a more consistant shot velocity wise
Cons:
-Tanks cost alot and so do regulators
-Hard to find a place to fills (where i am it is anyway)
Summary: if u have the money then hpa is the way to go, but its important to get a good reg, and being as how u have a tippmann u might want to look into the lpk. u should get more shots per tank and really good consistancy. if u dont get the lpk i'm prity sure u still need to get a vertical adapter for the reg
