Now I've read dozens (and dozens) of reviews about the Automag, and I'm really looking at getting one, but the comments about Co2 use and "freezing up" are a little disconcerning. The problem with most of the reviews are that they have less to do with how Co2 runs with their Automag, but how Co2 runs IN GENERAL. I don't want to hear about how much it sucks and how "only idiots use Co2 (a comment in one of the reviews), just shell out the extra money and buy Nitro and stop complaining!" Now, I would gladly go out and buy HPA, but there's one problem: There's no place to fill it! I live in central-west Minnesota, and as far as I know the nearest Nitro source is AT LEAST an hour away, so Nitro isn't a viable choice for me. The ONLY thing around here is Co2, like it or not! So, here's my real question: I REALLY like the idea of an Automag, but as stated above, I can't get my hands on HPA yet. I play mainly rec-ball and speedball a little ways away from my hometown. If I am planning on using a remote anyways and an anti-syphon tank, will anything else help or is it not even worth it in the long run? I don't plan on using it in the cold, so base your conclusions on a temperature range of 50-95 degrees (Minnesota summers suck!). This is my first post on these boards, but I've been playing for a good 2-3 years now. Whatever facts or personal experiences you can give me would be greatly appreciated. I'm not a demanding pro player, just someone who's looking for a fast-shooting dependable and simple marker. BTW, I'm not a fan of Tippmanns and Spyders, so don't suggest those as an alternative if you're against the Automag. Well, thanks a lot in advance for any advice as this seems to be the place to go for people that know what they're talking about.
