Why You Want to Use Nitrogen For Your Paintball Guns
Just as a beginner to a sport doesn’t go out and invest thousands of dollars on the top gear, most paintballers don’t opt for the most expensive equipment.
Markers that are more affordable are usually powered by CO2. This power source works just find for many paintballers, but if you want all the edge you can get, a HPA tank is a better choice (but more expensive).
The top reason for switching to compressed air (also known as HPA) is because of improved performance. Anyone that wants better performance should change power sources.
What is improved when you make the switch? Well first of all consistency is largely improved. CO2 doesn’t like to provide consistent performance during periods of rapid fire. HPA however, provides consistent performance during rapid firing.
Consistency is important when you are shooting rapidly at a target. You want the paintballs to fly the same distance for each shot you fire. When CO2 doesn’t expand fast enough, drop offs in distance occur.
Unlike CO2, compressed air performs great in cold weather. This is especially important for anyone who regularly plays in colder temperatures, or during winter.
Your gun can sometimes “freeze up” when you are unloading the paint in cold weather. The liquid literally freezes the inside of your gun and wrecks its performance, sometimes even causing it to stop working until it can unfreeze.
When it is cold out, your marker may start shooting out what looks like to be snow. It can also make a cloud shoot out or your marker and tank to become extremely cold.
The problem with CO2 is that it is in both liquid and gas form inside your tank. Gas is good, but the liquid is bad when it gets into the marker. When it happens, it causes poor performance. Compressed air tanks only have air inside of them.
So, if you are a paintballer that wants the best performance they can get from his marker, investing in a compressed air tank is a must.
