Whats the difference between CO2 and compressed air?
Paintball markers are powered by CO2 or compressed air tanks. CO2 has long been the industry standard. Compressed air tanks are more expensive but offer some attractive advantages. Compressed air is cleaner and easier on your marker. Compressed air also is more consistent, especially in cold weather. Before you choose between CO2 and compressed air, check with your local field or paintball shop to see what kind of tanks they refill. Most fields and shops will fill both. Compressed Air is generally superior and you can get an air tank for around $70.
