LP set-ups are better. Less kick.

not entirely true....not even half true.
on most lp setups you will use a higher volume of air......take a spyder for example: to set it up for LP most people will get a modified valve pin, a higher flow valve, drilling out restrictive openings (asa and/or vertical adapter). with all that extra "flow", your air consumption goes way up. there are some exceptions (remember, i used a spyder for example)......higher end guns usually have better efficiency than lower end guns. |

LP - quiet, less kick, air hog (normally)
HP - air efficient, louder, kick
Lame man's terms...

Actually in most cases LP guns are more efficient, just because they are high end. But matrices and shockers can have absolutely terrible efficiency. Vikings are very low pressure and are also very efficient. It totally depends on the gun, usually low pressure is better.

Like Barber said, low pressure is less kick. But doesn't high pressure use up too much gas? I'm not sure, I'm not into the gas tank area. But I'm almost sure of that fact.

How come the HPA tanks is so expensive, and the Co2 ones aren't, is it because the HPA has thicker steel, or like a different kind of steel or something?

Its because they are fiberglass or carbon fiber... very expensive to produce. Most are not steel with the exception of the 45/3000.

Which is better?
