get air, some poo co2 bottle will bugger ya gun, only way you should use co2 is use a co2 bottle with a anti-syphon tube and an on-off on it, but on my ion i use air a pmi 5000psi fibre wrapped bottle works a treat

from experience i think its best to buy the best air bottle you can get. 1.1 fiber wrap 4500 psi is my suggestion if you're planning to play in tournaments.

if not planning to play tournaments then just any air will do. i don't recommend CO2 as it can truely bugger o-rings up.

Go for Air m8, 4500 psi or 3000 your choice, Co2 will give u problems, plus its a pain to re-fill everytime, and kills o-rings. Go for a 1.1 ltr bottle as the 1.5 are really heavy. if u are planning to play more of a front player then look at .9 or .8 bottle

Air is more reliable, and easier to fill. Especially if u intend to upgrade yr marker in the future, GO FOR AIR!!! u know it makes sence lol
