Mags don't like liquid co2. You can use co2, but you'll change lots more o-rings with co2 than with hpa. You can still use a mag and get reliable performance with co2 if you avoid liquid, either with a remote, expansion chamber, or anti-siphon setup. I'm also under the impression that the Palmer's Stabilizer does a good job of keeping out liquid co2, but I can't really confirm that. If you don't want to tinker, mags are wonderful. They require little more than regular cleaning, oiling, and oring changes. There are so many infinite ways to set cockers up that you'll be very tempted to change the setup often. People will also try to convince you that it isn't set up correctly, because they don't know the difference between preference and performance. The best example of that is a friend of mine who got a DYE cocker, only to have everyone he met tell him that this or that was wrong with it, and needed changing. Having little experience with cockers, he asked me to shoot it, and to tell him if there was anything wrong. Nothing was wrong with it. It shot very straight, cycled very fast, and didn't chop or double feed. Personally, I've been shooting cockers for about 7 years. I love them, and they do handle co2 very well. Mind you, co2 will always give you some trouble with rapid fire and temperature fluctuation, but it does work fine. Cockers are reliable if you set them up and leave them alone, and they're fun to tinker with when you feel like changing things up. The best advice is the same as what I always see here: get a chance to shoot either. If you've done that, and aren't sure, keep asking questions until you are sure. Good luck.
