    Compressed air, a big initial investment, but in the long run it will be cheaper as more and more paintball facilities are attempting to outfaze CO2. Air is also much more reliable as it is not effected by fluctuations in temperature.

    Co2 can freeze your gun if you shoot fast enough and it can also wreck your board.

    even with a spyder, the C02 may freeze the solonoid or board. air is muc safer for your electro. that and its only 140 for a 47/3000 steel. you cant tell me that thats too expensive when you play paintball.

    But apparently 3000 psi tanks dont last long so just look around for a good and cheap 45/45 or 68/45
    UP!

    All tanks are hydro'd for the same date from manufacture, and the # of shots depends on how your marker is set up for efficiency. Before tuning mine I used to get about 800 shots to the fill but after I get around 1000 shots off a .68/3000. There is an article in the articles section on this site for tuning you marker for efficiency that is a worthwhile read. Definately go with the air

    AIR, just do it, hell I run HPA on my phantom! If consistancy is your goal then go air, CO2 is very old tech. Everything runs better on HPA.

    Use air even if its a spyder that can run on co2, because if u shoot fast enogh everything will freeze and if ur not wearing gloves it really sucks.
