Best Answer

Firstly No paintball gun runs on NOS, its HPA (high Pressure Air) which is a mixture of primarily Nitrogen (with 21% oxygen), but is NOT Nitrogen dioxide. Secondly, all guns, no matter what their propellant gas, are set to a Feet per second limit of shooting, usually290 FPS.

C02 is now back in the air what will this C02 be used for again?

Co2 is for paintball guns. plants breath it in and expel oxygen


On paintball guns What do the CO2 Systems do and why do you need them?

On a paintball gun C02, or High pressure air is necessary. It is compressed air that, when the trigger is pulled and the marker fires, propels the paintball out of the barrel.


How can you prepare carbon dioxide that propels air guns?

It requires a C02 bottle to hold the C02 and the gun must be made to accept the bottle. Most large sporting goods shops and paintball shops can fill the C02 bottle for you


Are spring powered guns harder to reload than air powered?

A little harder but Yes they are. However spring powered air guns are usually stronger than C02 air powered guns. Spring powered guns are single shot and must be reloaded between shots where as C02 usually uses a clip with pellets or BB and is semi automatic. ( Generally speaking but not always)


What propels a paintball?

A compressed C02 tank or High Pressure Air tank propels the paintball.


Why do you need CO2 tank for paintball?

If you meant "why do you need any gas tank for Paintball": the expanding c02 or hpa is what pushes the ball out of the barrel at high speeds and can be used in reseting the gun. If you meant "why you need a C02 tank specifically": you dont need a co2 tank to play paintball. their is compresed air tankes available. most electrical guns must run on air enless you want to be doing maintenance on the gun after every game and replace parts after 5 games. most non electrical guns also can be ran on air but is capable of runing on co2 but air would keep your gun in better condition. You need co2 or compressed air(nitrogen and compressed air are the same thing) so the paintball can fly out of the barrel and to re cock your gun automatically.


What is an air sport gun?

Air sport guns & rifles are not firearms but they do shoot BB's or Pellets. Most people call them BB guns. It's a general term meaning any gun or rifle that uses air or C02 to fire a projectile like a real firearm, is an "Air Sport Gun." The term can reffer to: BB / Pellet guns Airsoft guns Paintball guns


Why would my talon paintball gun use all its c02 in one shot?

overpowered probably


Are C02 bb guns consistent?

Yes they are fairly consistent


Why do pellet guns need co2?

Not all pellet guns use C02 some are designed to use a spring or pump. Pellet guns that use C02 are rapid fire guns and do not require re-cocking or pumping between each shot. BUT they usually have less power that spring or pump pellet guns.


How do you put a small c02 canister on a styker cybrid paintball gun?

you screw the adapter into the gun, and then the co2 cartridge.


Between paintball and CO2 pistols which is the more expensive sport?

I'm going to include paintball rifles in this answer. The cost of paintball rifles can exceed $500, but your question only refers to C02 powerplants. So in this answer paintball generally out cost regular C02 pistols and rifles. Now if you include all power plants like Pump, spring and PCP. (Precharged Pneumatic) air weapons then Pellet pistols out cost Paintball. As for the sport itself, with the cost of protection gear and the cost of gaming in general, then Paintball out cost regular C02 in general. But remember paintball is a competitive sport where teams compete against each other and shoot each other. Pellet shooting is a target and hunting sport, they are two very different sports and really should not be compared. Getting shot with a paintball won't kill you, getting shot with a pellet can kill you.
