Is CO2 bad for paintball guns?

Answer 1

no,but during the summer,your fps will go up, but in the winter it will go down. the best air for your marker is usually nitrogen. be careful though, some markers will only take hpa.

all entry level markers will take HPA but pretty much everything mid level and up will need HPA only, even if you are shooting a mid level marker it will help performance to use HPA

Answer 2

It depends. Almost all mechanical, or electric assist sear tripping markers can run CO2, like Tippmann, spyder, and other cheap markers. All electro pneumatic guns will jam up if using CO2 (non siphoned), like, Smart Parts, Dye, Planet eclipse, Invert, Dangerous Powers, Bob Long. As a general rule, and marker that is electric and comes with a regulator cannot run off CO2 (except Azodin's)

Answer 3

When Temperature increases, so does Co2's volume and pressure. This causes the gun to shoot "hot" or at a significantly higher velocity than it is supposed to. When It gets colder, It will decrease again.

Answer 4

No, any marker that says HPA only means HPA only! co2 will damage the marker

Answer 5

It will leak out eventually, and is illegal to transport with the co2 still on.

Answer 6

nope if theres a place for the c02 thats where it goes :) although remember all gas blowback guns die fairly quickly due to violent kick backs and high pressure gas stressing all the parts

Answer 7

You need either Co2 or Compressed air for a paintball gun to function. Every gun can run on compressed air, but only some can run on Co2.

Answer 8

No
