co2 vs n2

[Efaw]

whats the difference between co2 and n2 and why is n2 so much better than co2, also what is ramping

[stealthyeliminator]

the difference is, one is N2 and one is CO2. CO2 is one carbon molecule(that the right word?) for every two oxygen. N2 is nitrogen. Compressed air is just regular air. In paintball nitrogen and compressed air are the same. not in paintball they are very similar, regular air is mosly nitrogen.

the reason most people like n2 more than co2 is because it
1. isnt effected as much by temp.
2. it is more consistant, increasing accuracy.
3. an n2 bottle looks cooler than a co2 one plus you can get neato covers for them. im sure theres better/more reasons then that but its the morning sooo......

as for ramping, i dont know what it is. i never took the time to learn because i dont really care....

Might I also add:
Nitro is considered to be a cleaner gas.
It won't freeze up your gun.
It's also more expensive to fill
Not all fields fill to 4500.

As for ramping, it's a feature inside the board. Pretty much what it will do, is if you are shooting at 10 BPS, the board will make the gun fire at 15 bps. It's been a hot topic for tournies lately. :P

isnt ramping illegal in tourneys? also, it may be more expincive to fill, but not always for you. some feilds fill air tanks for free.

That's the thing. People want ramping, it's been discussed about a 15 bps cap.

One tank may not exactly get more shots per tank then the other, it depends on the size, and the gun.

And another myth gets propigated. I love these ;)

I can get more shots out of my 20oz CO2 on my TL+ than on ANY hpa tank on the market. The reason? Efficiency of the marker. The more efficient the marker, the more shots per tank you will get.

I personally prefer CO2 over HPA for the reason that I understand its limitations and how it operates. With this in mind, I have no problems running CO2 through any marker I currently or will ever own without fear of it freezing up, "ruining the internals", "rusting" the marker, or any of the other common misconceptions out there regarding it :D

[EvilMrEgg]

out of all this i still dont know...what is better for a noob co2 or hpa...????

[JPSteelers1025]

co2.if you got the money get a antisyphon also (its not that much, like $10-20)
