C02 or Compressed Air? (Accuracy)

[dave9632]

Well iv been watching some vids on youtube and some people say using Compressed Air makes your gun alot more accurate. . is this true and if so by how much?

cheers

Air doesn't make the gun more accurate, the bottles pressure is more stable keeping the regs output the same. With co2 the bottles pressure fluctuates with temperature.

i take it your using Co2 at the moment ? Co2 is not as reliable for running markers. that's why most will run on air

Air is much better. CO2 goes through massive temperature fluctuations which will make your velocity spike an drop while playing. Since most markers are as accurate as any other, depending on barrels, then velocity consistency is your best measure of accuracy and HPA is more accurate. CO2 will also destroy the internals of electro markers due to the very low temps, and also causes excessive wear on orings in general for the same reason. With steel HPA bottles going as cheap as they do, there's no real reason to go with CO2 unless it's the ONLY propellant you have access to....which isn't the case. HPA all the way dude
