air vs co2

Obviously everyone knows that air is the way to go if you have the money, but why? I know the air is more consistent, and that CO2 tends to go through O rings more rapidly, but are there other reasons? I also got told that markers can run of Nitrogen. Is this true, and does anyone actually do it?

yeah for some reason americans use nitrogen!

but nitrogen and air tanks are the same, and can be swapped air/nitrogen, cos of what dickysixx said.
also co2 is a 'dirty' gas and has alot of crap in it which can get stuck in shocker/impulse etc. solenoids and fu*k it up. So air is better.

You didn't revise English though mate....should be "there" instead of "their"...

Only kidding....;) ;) ;)

(No smart replies please...)

My mate uses co2 in his shocker though, as he reckons it runs much better.
