Best reason is consistency. Ever have a problem getting up to 280 fps in the winter, and not being able to keep it under 280 in the summer. If not you will when running unregulated C02. HPA stays more consistent and does not rely on ambient air temperature to control pressure. You fill more when using HPA but a scuba is about $4 to fill and you can go for 2-3 outings. It is more cost up front for the scuba, fill station, and tank. But less headaches and cost in the long run. A reg with C02 will definetely help until you play in really cold weather when the C02 won't put out enough pressure to cock your high pressure marker. Scuba about $100, fill station $50, tanks as cheap as $80 for steel 47 cu 3000psi. Hope it helps. Razor : i am sorry if this has been ask b4 i am sure it has but really haven't found a good anwser to it...my question is: why is n2/hpa better then co2...i mean i see the people using the hpa/n2 systems filling up between each game b/c they are almost out of air, where as with the 20oz co2 i can play a whole and then some b4 i need to fill again. also my other question is i have a spyder e-99 with cp 12" and a bob long III bolt do i need to get a regulator for the co2...will it help any or just a waste of money... : thanks!
