Ask your local sites what they have. If only CO2 then you don't have much choice but ideally you'd be better using air.

You'll get more consistancy from your marker and lower maintainance as CO2 can freeze internals and o-rings causing things to break.

Air systems are a little more expensive too

I'm in aberdeen mate (Part of the uni paintball society so there are a fair few of us around), there are 2 dive shops, was down at one this morning getting tanks filled. Which site do you play at btw?

If you need help with kit etc then you can try some of ours, not many of us use co2 ho.

co2 bottles are alot cheaper than air bottles but if you are planning to play paintball for alot of years,,,air is the one
i started with co2. 6 month later soon switched to air
