is it worth it?

[guptuck2002]

Im getting a 2005 prostock autococker. I know hpa is WAY better than an anti siphoned Co2. but where do I get fillups for that? The only place I know is my field that I play at wich is 2 hours away and I play alot more just in my woods with friends.Is there many places that will fill them?

thanks

If there is a scuba shop near by you could take it there. They can fill them up there. I think fire departments have the setup to fill HPA tanks, if you know any fire fighters, you could ask them.

if u dont play that much u could just stay with co2

You have a good case for staying with CO2. Nothing wrong with that :D

A lot of it depends on the kind of marker you are using. If you are using a gun meant for co2, then you shouldn't have problem. Spyders and Tippmans run just fine on CO2 with just an expansion chamber. :rolleyes:

I agree 100% with that, however my Tippmann A5 doesn't even need the expansion chamber. Tippmanns are made to run on Co2 so they are fine with whatever you have.

The Co2 Tank (20 oz) only costs $20, compared to an HPA tank $75 (47/3000) to $210 (bigger tanks). Compared to the Co2 tank, I stick with Co2 because that is a big cost difference compared to Co2.

The bigger tank would give you less pressure then an actual machine compressor so you wouldnt get that good of a fill off of a scuba tank. I'm not sure if the same goes for CO2 tanks.

The same doesnt go for CO2. The HPA fills are based on pressure, and CO2 is based on Volume, because it's in liquid form when its int he tank and relies on a heat source for pressure and to turn it into a gas.
