So I have an a-5 that I bought from my friend, and I need to decide if I want to buy his CO2 tanks or keep the money and get a hpa tank. Even if I decide get both could someone give me a little help deciding which is better for my A-5?

umm do you think you could expand on that a little?

CO2 = sucky. HPA = good. CO2 can't be shot as fast and is alot less consistent then n2. this is because CO2 is liquid while in the tank and when it comes out it changes to a gas. but sometimes the liquid CO2 gets in your pb marker, and that can f*** up your gun. this nornally happens when you shoot 10bps or higher and...........crapppppp i just remember that there is a HPA thread,............... just look there.

right right i know about all that but what i was wondering about was why people keep telling me co2 is preferred in the a-5. noone seems to be able to back that up. I mean, is hpa that much better than co2 with an expansion chamber and anti-siphon tube?

Liquid will not harm the CVX valve used in a Tippmann.



Cost.

Tippmanns have no problem running on CO2, aside from the velocity fluctuations it sometimes has. Because a good HPA system will cost as much as the marker itself did, and sometimes can not be refilled easily, CO2 is very popular for some people.
