Does anyone still use CO2?

[SpongeBobSquarePants]

Just a thought, I havn't seen someone with a CO2 tank on there gun in the longest time. Just wondering if anyone still use's them?

[shartley]

Yes. I do on all my markers but my RTP.

And I actually find it easier to get them filled and filled FULL.

[LudavicoSoldier]

Yup, on my Tippy A-5. Don't see any reason to run anything else on a gun that LOVES co2.

I cant seem to find any N2 mostly cause Im in florida so Co2 cant freeze.

[Crighton]

Yes, I play mostly rec ball at a private field. So filling my tanks and tanks of most of my friends is required.

Not going to get very many fills from a scuba tank compared to a 50lb bulk co2 cylinder.

I still use both. I love consistance of n2 but i hate the fact that i need a 2 foot tank to have the fill about equal to a 20oz tank. As of now I only use N2 on my RTC..gotta feed my baby the good stuff.

[LudavicoSoldier]

I think the question is more of "do you voluntarily use co2 when n2 is readily available?".

I play mostly rec as well, my RTP HAS to run on HPA, while my Tippy can run on either, but I can not see a reason to throw a HPA tank on a gun that was born on co2. The miniscule differences on a gun that is co2 friendly are not worth the switch. "Its just better" is not a good enough reason for me. Sorry.

It's more expencive to use CO2 around here so I don't use it very often. Plus most of my guns don't like it.

Yep, my brothers guns are run off co2, A mag and a cocker. I am currently in the process of building myself a gun to run off co2.
Soemdays co2 is just easier than lugging out my scuba tank.

Because I'm poor, I go the cheapest route available. I use only 9 oz or 4 oz chrome-moly CO2, since they never need to be hydro'd (DOT-3E), so I don't have to replace them every 5 years. I just recently swung a deal for 5 new 9 oz tanks for $10 each.

[usmc8892]

I have my Minimag rigged for both...in case I run out of HPA I can switch to a 20 oz. I play at a friend's place and it's like 30 minutes from an HPA FILL.

[trains are bad]

I run my tippys and spyders on regged Co2. Basically I run it wherever possible and run HPA only when I need to.

CO2 is by far the most common air supply used for paintball.

Not everyone shoots l33t $$$ gats which require HPA. You are forgetting about rentals, rec ballers, beginners and intermediate players.

well, i have to use co2, no n2 fills here
