I can't answer your report question but you can fill an HPA tank whenever you choose.

Re: HPA vs C02

I've shot mine with both and I did not notice any difference between the two. Not to say that there isn't possibly a slight tone difference or something, I just didn't pick any thing up. My A5 was just as loud using both. Oh, JJ 14".

Re: HPA vs C02

HPA is far more advantageous for me.

Re: HPA vs C02

Hey guys... for any newbies out there that want to learn more about the differences between CO2 vs HPA, we did a blog post a little while ago. It might help you understanding the major differences.

Shot chart, if you're interested:

HPA is the better product by far.
