Many of us start out with paintball guns that are cheaper. Just as a sixteen year old will often start out with a cheaper car instead of a brand new BMW, many new paintballers start with a more affordable gun.
While CO2 is the power source of choice for many of the more affordable markers, it isn't the best choice. It will work fine for many, but for players who want the best performance they can get from their marker, HPA is a better option, although it is more expensive.
Making the switch to compressed air (aka HPA) is a great idea for paintballers that want to have the best performance. Improved performance is the main reason for switching.
For anyone that has shot a paintball marker at a high rate of fire for a longer period of time, you know how much consistency from shot to shot drops. The paintballs begin to fly at shorter distances, which makes it difficult to hit your target.
When I say consistent performance I mean that when you shoot, the paintballs don't start to noticeably fly different distances. This drop off is caused from the CO2 not expanding to gas quickly enough.
Unlike CO2, compressed air performs great in cold weather. This is especially important for anyone who regularly plays in colder temperatures, or during winter.
Your gun can sometimes "freeze up" when you are unloading the paint in cold weather. The liquid literally freezes the inside of your gun and wrecks its performance, sometimes even causing it to stop working until it can unfreeze.
When it is cold out, your marker may start shooting out what looks like to be snow. It can also make a cloud shoot out or your marker and tank to become extremely cold.
Inside of your CO2 tank you have both liquid and gas. Paintball markers run well on gas, but when the liquid gets inside during rapid fire, it causes problems. Performance will suffer. HPA tanks are great because there is only gas in the tank.
So, if you are a paintballer that wants the best performance they can get from his marker, investing in a compressed air tank is a must.
