    Thats what I've always done. I keep my Co2 guns well oiled, so the oil cartridges are not needed.
    But some people are raving about umarex Co2, is there any truth in that? Are they cleaner? do they contain more Co2?
    Too many airguns!

    On the best fittings web site, they have an article on Crosman vs Umarex capsules. They showed the insides and how grubby the crosman's are.

    Interesting. I have a bunch of different brands in a bag, but as usual I'm to lazy to do a comparison.

    Crosmans are grubby because of the oil in them.

    Crosman's haven't had any oil in them for donkeys years - a notion perpetuated by retailers plagerising their advertising material from material about 10 years out of date or simply never updating it.

    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^this
    Absolutely correct here.

    Umarex make expensive maintenance ones with lubricant but I use Webley Hard-Air with lubricant which are normal price.

    I didn't realise that, I stand corrected.

    Bought a makarov, and with it came some Umarex Co2 capsules.. They have different font, and different neck/seal from the Umraex capsules I already have.
    So they might not come from the same maker?
