I was just wonderin' what you guys thought about going for o2 regulated or nitro. I personally use o2 with a stabalizer on my mag and it works much better than a nitro duck. Let me know what you think.

are you saying o2 or do you mean co2. o2 is very flamable and having it on your gun is stupid. the heat could make it explode.

as for co2. i hate it. it will never work as well as hpa. take the stabalizer off the gun and put the hpa back on with a input at 750-800 and see how it works. the stabalizer made to many regulaters and restricted air flow.

Co2 will never work as well as HPA, this is true. However, Co2 will work as long as you use it right. You need a remote, expansion chamber, antispyphon, or stabalizer or any combination of the above (NEVER use an antispyon on a remote though, will suck liquid and act as a syphon). Also, you cannot fire long fast burst, or angel the gun in such a way that the tank is pointing downward.
HPA you don't need a reg or anything, just run it straight to your valve, it will never freeze or anything on you.
If your saying Co2 works better then a Nitroduct their is either something wrong with the nitroduct, or something wrong with you.
BTW, if you used 02 on your gun, you would be dead or very hurt right now.

sorry i knew it was co2 but i didnt think anybody would think it was oxygen. I won't get rid of the freakin stabalizer because i love the thing. you don't know what you're talkin about if you think it'll suck until you try it

Stabilizers are good regs, but when using a stabilizer on a nitro mag you have 3 regulators(tank, stabilizer, AIR) and that could possible starve the valve and has been shown to actually DECREASE consistancy.

actually o2 probably wouldn't hurt me because there are no sparks in the gun it would just be stupid to use

Atmospheric conditions can cause sparks in your gun if their is alot of static.
Sell the Stab, and your Co2 setup, and buy a nitro. Its better in any sence.

this should solve the oxy ignition debate.

Fill station you can get from alot of online stores such as paintballgear.com. The tank itself you can get fromi a scuba shop, or buy online.

If I get a scuba tank, can I get it filled at any old place that fills those things? Or do I have to be a liscensed diver or something.

They will usually ask you for a diver license to get it filled. I forgot to mention this before. Before you buy a tank, go to some local dive shops (if there are any) and ask about scubas for paintball use. Some will fill it, some won't, some will make you sign something and put a for paintball use only sticker on the tank or something like that.

Good thought but it would probably scare the hell out of your opponents when you blew up.
