Co2 or hpa

Hi guys i need help picking between hpa and co2 i know hpa is the better for your gun but since i only go pbing ever other month with my cousins can co2 really damage my gun even if i dont use it that often so should i stick with co2 or should i make the leap to hpa

Re: Co2 or hpa

is it worth the $$$ to you to switch? I went to HPA cause I run all my other makers off it and CO2 is getting harder to find a place to fill were im at. plus I like HPA, a lil more consistant IMO

Re: Co2 or hpa

depending on how many local places can fill hpa i would go with hpa

c02 is fine for tippys
I would suggest playing a few times to see if u even like the sport

If you can afford it HPA is a much better option

HPA is gonna give you a more consistent shot

Re: Co2 or hpa

If you play at sc then hpa is worth it. You can refill between games and hpa is much more consistent!

Re: Co2 or hpa

I agree, if you can fill it at your usual playing fields and you enjoy playing, HPA is worth the investment.

Re: Co2 or hpa

HPA is far and away the better long-run option due to consistency and longevity, but based on the fact that you only paintball a few times a year, I would say that CO2 is a fine option. If you find yourself playing more and more and wishing you had better gear, BUY AN HPA TANK FIRST.
And then upgrade from there.
A cheap, aluminum 3000 psi tank will run anywhere from $20 to $40 depending on where you get it from, but it'll cost you more to get it hydrotested. NEVER PLAY WITHOUT A CURRENT HYDROTEST.
Most places won't fill it anyways, but 3000 pounds per square inch is nothing to mess around with.
4500's will run you up a lot more.
