im interested in running compressed air with an A5 and have a few questions before i make the final decision. -what are the basic pros and cons of compressed air over CO2? -i see "HPA" floating around everywhere, what does this mean? -can you use a basic CO2 bottle or is a special bottle a must? will and standard remote with slide check or quick disconect work? if ive missed anything or theres something you feel needs to be added,oppinions suggestions, saftey issues, feel free to fill in... ------------- no brains, no headache... |

| well the cost of refilling fluctuates but the tanks have a significant difference. Co2 bottle= $20, HPA tank=$200 |
