CO2 Filling

Thanks for the responses. The situation at the moment is that we have CO2 lined up and ready to go and we've got people who know how to fill the tanks.

However some of the players are wanting better guns...

What are the best CO2 powered guns for 〜£120 (inc. marker, hopper, gas)?
How much worse are comparably priced CO2 and Air guns?
Do CO2 guns just last less and break more due to increased pressure being put on the gun?

Almost all guns that use CO2 will also be able to use HPA - BUT - any gun that has an electronic operating system is unlikely to like CO2 (indeed, it will destroy the insides of many). Very high rates of fire will draw liquid CO2 into a gun and damage the internal components, and even guns designed to use it will need reasonably regular maintainence on things like Orings etc.
HPA is a much more user/gun friendly propellant all round.

You dont really have CO2 or Air markers, all markers take both, but electronic ones will most likely become faulty within a few months of use, even if it is just o-rings. Even though you have CO2 lined up you should really look at switching to air. Its cheaper, easier and better on the markers.
