Electro gats and C02 do not go together.

You can pick up an air system for £40 if you look hard enough

Incorrect.

They work just as well with either.

only if you use a correctly fitted anti-syphon tube and even then you can get damaged solenoid/orings from the cold caused by expanding co2 at high rates of fire.

errrrr........

Forgive my stupidity but, C02 is less consistent, freezes the hell out of your marker, wrecks internal / reg seals / solenoid and gives your position away.

Much better?

Do not question jeff....he will win

No. Science will win hands down

I used a pvi shocker on co2 for a good year or two, freezes the **** out of the bottle, but works fine. No spikes or overpressure problems, and accuracy you just don't get on todays markers.

But are you saying that run on C02 the shocker would be as good as if it was run on air?

And nobody likes a bottle frozen to the arm

No, air would be better, but you can run an old school shocker on co2, without a problem.
I've had a 20oz totally white with frost, looks good.
