Preemptive ITT:
Wrong forum.

What's paintball?

Buy an HPA tank, fill it, screw it into the gun.

Also, be patient. Just because no one immediately answers doesn't mean you can spam the rest of the forums...

Its way better. Only downside is the tanks are more costly and, depending on the tank size, will give you less shots.

A5's don't work particularly well with just any HPA tank btw. Shorty's was a choosy little sucker with HPA as they cyclone feeder wouldn't turn properly with any of my bottles, I just used CO2 on it when needed.

Why didn't you just tell him what you know? T&O isn't a private members club you knob.


Behave.

2nd EDIT: Yeah what sneaky said. buy it and fire it on yer pinger.

HPA is always a good investment if you are looking to play for a while and upgrade your marker. It is less problematic in the cold and as long as you have access to a compressor it's relatively cheap. As long as your fields can cater for it then HPA is always better than CO2 imo.

Depending on the length of games you play there is going to be a difference on the size of the bottle. If it is all day woodsball big games then a 1.5L 4500psi would do nicely with a remote. If speedball/tourney then go for something a bit smaller.

btw; what's a paintball?

Mainly because it's been so long that I've done anything paintball related, I couldn't really recall the advantages of using one over the other. And because that website makes me laugh every time.
