Subject: Field results....CO2 v. HPA thru Palmer Stabilizer

I went out and played all day last Saturday, and in practical terms, I found the regulated CO2 to be a little better. I didn't do any actual scientific testing or comparison, but I DID use both my CO2 and HPA in games during the course of the day. One time when entering the field at the chrono with CO2, I had FIVE SHOTS IN A ROW all at 282 fps. The rest were +/- about 3 fps. I only made one adjustment to my gun or reg all day, and that was when I switched barrels. The field paint at my field isn't really very good, but overall, I got better consistency with CO2. But I should note that I did NOT drop the pressure for the CO2 down to it's 350 limit....I still don't know where my marker's sweetspot is, but 600psi seems to work just fine with both.

However, at one point, my slide check started leaking very badly (it's between my bottomline and the reg), when I took it apart, the o-rings were swolen and lumpy beyond description. I could barely slide it at all...I'm not sure if this was due to the CO2, the paint, dirt, water, or whatever, because my gun was caked in all of those. But that was the only problem I had all day, even as I kept using the CO2, so....who knows?
