Why You Should Be Using N2 For 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.

Less expensive markers will often use CO2, a power source that will work fine in most cases, but for those who want all the edge they can get to become a better paintballer, it is inferior to HPA (High Pressure Air).

Making the switch to compressed air (aka HPA) is a great idea for paintballers that want to have the best performance. Improved performance is the main reason for switching.

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.

When I say consistent performance I mean that when you shoot, the paintballs don't start to noticeably fly different distances. This drop off is caused from the CO2 not expanding to gas quickly enough.

Unlike CO2, compressed air performs great in cold weather. This is especially important for anyone who regularly plays in colder temperatures, or during winter.

If you have ever had your gun sputter, choke, or stop working while you were shooting fast, you had liquid entered your gun and cause problems. During times of rapid fire you need a power source that won't cause these problems.

If you have ice shooting out of your gun or what looks like a cloudy, icy, muzzle flash and had your paintballs shooting at erratic distances, you might want to consider making the switch to compressed air.

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.

Paintballers that want the best performance should make the switch to a compressed air tank. It is more consistent and will not give you problems in cold weather.
