    co2 or nitrous

    Heres my deal. I'm going to buy a Classic Automag. Should I buy nitrous or should I stay with co2 until I understand the gun to start changing its setup?

    if you use CO2 you are going to have to spend some money to get it running right. such as an expansion chamber, remote, anti siphon tank, or a reg. I personally use a palmer stabilizer, which goes for about $100. However if you use nitrogen you just buy the tank. if you are planning to go to compressed air in the future anyway, its readily available, and you have the money for a tank that is big enough for you, then you should probably get the nitro tank and skip the CO2. Plus, if you just go nitro now, you can get an X valve in the future without worrying about buying the nitro tank along with it.

      HPA (High Pressure Air) all the way.

      I had my MiniMag set up nice for CO2 but it never ran as well on it as it did on HPA. And as mentioned above you can use it if/when you go to the X-valve or a higher lvl gun. It's a bit of an investment but I challenge you to find somone who would take CO2 over HPA.

          actually it's not even that, its just compressed air (but that is 80% nitrogen). Same difference.

              Same here, man. I had CO2, and then I bought a cheap HPA bottle. I'll never go back.

              BTW, I have a Nitro duck HPA tank that needs hydro-ing, if you're interested.

                  CO2 is awright for some guns, but definitely not for the mag. when people complain about mag problems, its almost always because theyre running CO2.

                  for the best results, N2 is highly recommended.
