I know next to nothing about CO2 guns.
What is the attraction/advatage over HPA?
Is it the cost of the devices?

Cheaper than air? I pay $5 a month to
have my SCUBA tank filled and sometimes
I pump (especially out in the field).
How much is CO2?
I can get 150-160 shots on low power with
a 14.5 grain pellet at 19 fpe and 22 shots on
high power with a 29 grain pellet at 75 fpe
before refilling.

I get about 350-400 shots at 10fpe with a 2240 running 3.5oz co2, and the 850 is nearly double energy at half as many shots. A 100# industrial cylinder of co2 is about $13 to refill with a $40-$50 yearly lease from the welding shop. I haven't had the cylinder refilled yet in 5 years, although I have have filled 20oz, 9oz, 4oz, 3.5oz, and 3oz co2 tanks to many times to keep track of.
I compress my own air and that runs about 1qt of fuel for about every 3 full fills of an 88cuft carbon scba tank.
Coin toss? . . .  |

I take it that your compressor is gas powered?
Do you have any photos of it?
I wonder how that would compare to electric
as far as economy is concerned.
