Hello Fellahs,
Got a Q on gas systems. I was thinking about getting a new tank (not sure between a 45/4.5K or a 68/4.5K). I was thinking about keeping myold 68/3K for my second gun, a LP Spyder Compact Java, which my girlfriend uses when we play renegade with our friends.
Anyway, I did a visual test with HPA vs CO2 (oops forgot to mention it was antisiphon), the streams looked pretty identical at a 80 ft range. HPA on the Spyder put a spread on a 18" diameter circle, while the antisiphon co2 placed a maybe a 20-22" spread at 80 ft. Both were fired at a decent and modest 5-6 bps.
Over the chrono, HPA had a fluctuation of +/- 6 while the antisiphon CO2 had a +/- 9.
As you can see there are differces in improvement between both gasses, but by not really that much. Do you think its worth it to keep a second HPA tank for my 2nd gun? Or just run anti siphon CO2 and sell my old tank?
Is it the gun? Tank? Or the fact that I run CO2 in Hawaii?
Let me know guys...
