Should I get a gas or Co2 airsoft pistol?

An airsoft gun powered by CO2 must be much more powerful than equipment running on Green Gas. CO2 is compressed under greater pressure, so it can damage more delicate structures. This also translates into greater airsoft gun power, i.e. FPS muzzle velocity.
