Hey all! I recently bought an Elite Force 1911 A1, and I must say I'm very impressed. I had owned a $35 CO2 pistol, but it literally fell apart while I was shooting it in the middle of a battle. But back then, I had yet to get a sniper rifle, and was still shooting .12's. Now, I'd like to know: Does it matter what brand I use? Most people are only concerned about the CO2 vs. Green Gas thing, and I've never seen anyone post what brand they use. Is this important? If no one really thought about it before, should we start?? :shrug: I really am clueless here, and would love some insight.

The head of the 12g co2 case can vary in size and form.
But if it works, it works.
The only ingredient in normal co2 is... co2.
The only exception I know, is ASG, they made co2 with silicone, meant to be used once in a while to lube the system, but it's not something you see elsewhere.

The ordinary stuff you can get at local sporting goods stores works fine, BuMS has it right- nothing other than C02 in there…

Thanks guys, I wasn't sure if some brands just preformed better than others or it didn't matter. And BuMS, have you seen co2 with silicone at any brick and mortar store? That sounds like it would be much easier than greasing the gun myself, but I'm a little weary about ordering airsoft parts online. Most things I get are either bad quality or broken before they get to my doorstep.

No, it's a specialty item, only found in airsoft stores selling goods from ASG.
