co2 or green gas

which is cheeper? for pistols

Inari

It depends entirely on a lot of variables:

- GBB or NBB
- Where you buy your CO2/Green Gas/Propane
- What make & model the gun is
- What the build material is
- What temperature you plan on using the gun in

and much much more.

CO2 is by far the best gas to use for our climate. It is not necessarily cheap, although you can buy in bulk and save a few quid. On a full metal GBB you'll get 2 -3 mags tops on a single CO2, much the same as a single fill of Green Gas. If the weather's scorching, you can get more. If it's NBB you'll get a load of shots off, 200+

thanks,cause i have a kjworks 1911 and it uses green gas, i only get a mag or less with it

Most KJW 1911's are compatible with CO2 mags - so for this kind of weather, it would definitely work more effectively. Just make sure that the model you have is capable of taking it.

CO2, in domestic Airsoft Retailers is €1 per bulb - this will give roughly 2 mags. Whereas Green Gas is €10 for a can, which will fill many mags...if I were to guess how many I'd say 30+. You can get cheaper CO2 ordering from abroad, or buying in bulk to get the price down a little - but to be honest, whenever I'm buying CO2 I just buy it domestic, and 9 times out of 10 I'm given more than I ask/pay for

Bulk buy is the best way to buy CO2, especially if you have a heavily gas based loadout (GBBr, Pistol, Thunder .
