co2/air bottle prices

[kempe]

im getting a marker soon and i was going to run it on air because as everyone knows its better.

ive been looking at the prices of the air bottles and theya re like $400 compared to a similar co2 cylinder costing $60. this seems rediculus why is this? am i mistaken?

Action has Centerflag systems for $350. I guess the price difference is because CO2 bottles only have to hold around 800psi, whereas air systems have to support up to 4500psi, so the quality of the bottle has to be a lot better. Also, a HPA tank will have a regulator unlike CO2.

With Co2 it is cheaper but takes longer to refill and I find the velocity of the marker changes with heat and such. So your markers velocity speed will change during the day.

With Air there is no velocity variance and is a lot quicker and easier to fill the tank.


And as teh previous post more bang for your buck :D

and make sure your marker will support the use of air :) dont wanna be stuck with the wrong gear :D
:lol:
