| My how the times change, in my day we
| |
| | you posted.
|
| were lucky enough to get our hands on
| |
| | CO2- Here is the long and the short of
|
| some paintballs, let alone have something
| |
| | using CO2 as a propellant for your
|
| to shoot them out of or have a propellant
| |
| | paintball gun. If you are looking just to
|
| of some sort to shoot them with. As a kid
| |
| | play a little paintball here and there
|
| I was more than happy to be able to shoot
| |
| | and just want something that is easy and
|
| paintballs out of my wrist rocket, sure
| |
| | cheap to get then CO2 is the propellant
|
| it was painstakingly slow to load rounds
| |
| | for you. Any paintball shop should be
|
| and about half of the balls shot broke
| |
| | able to fill your CO2 as well as a number
|
| but it was fun nonetheless. Well now a
| |
| | of other places and its inexpensive to
|
| days there are three main propellants out
| |
| | have them do it. Now if you are looking
|
| there that allow you to shoot much much
| |
| | to get into paintball fairly seriously
|
| faster and with much fewer ball breaks.
| |
| | and you are going to be playing a lot and
|
| The two most used paintball propellants
| |
| | shooting a lot of round as quickly as
|
| that are used in the sport today are CO2,
| |
| | possible we would recommend not going
|
| Propane and Compressed Air Also Reffered
| |
| | with CO2 and here is why. CO2 is
|
| to as Nitro or High Pressure Air. My goal
| |
| | considered by most to be less effective
|
| is to help you understand what the
| |
| | than compressed air and is much harder on
|
| difference is between CO2, Propane and
| |
| | your equipment.
|
| Nitro and then also tell you about some
| |
| | High Pressure Air (HPA) or nitrogen is
|
| pros and cons of each.
| |
| | stored in the tank as a gas which saves
|
| Nitro vs. CO2 vs. Propane For the past 20
| |
| | the headache of the evaporating issue.
|
| years CO2 has been the propellant of
| |
| | Air is stored in the tank at a very high
|
| choice when it comes to getting balls out
| |
| | pressure, typically 3000-5000 psi, and
|
| of barrels. The main reasons that CO2 has
| |
| | output is controlled with an attached
|
| been more popular are these, CO2 is
| |
| | regulator, this regulates the pressure
|
| readily available and cheap. There you
| |
| | from 450 psi to around 800 psi depending
|
| have it, cheap and easy pretty much wraps
| |
| | on the type of tank. This results in a
|
| up CO2 in a nut shell. Compressed air or
| |
| | much more consistent velocity than with
|
| nitro on the other hand has these things
| |
| | CO2.
|
| going for it, potentially higher psi, no
| |
| | Keep in mind propane is still in its
|
| need to evaporate, and a much more
| |
| | beginning stages but as of now the
|
| consistent velocity. With those things
| |
| | reports are that it shoots just as
|
| said, lets delve a little further into
| |
| | consistently as compressed air, you can
|
| the pros and cons of CO2 and Compressed
| |
| | shoot about 60 times more balls per tank
|
| Air. As far as propane goes it is still
| |
| | that compressed air and CO2 and you dont
|
| in it's early ages but is looking like it
| |
| | have to worry about Hydro or Quality
|
| is going to be the perfect mix of

| | Tests.
