All paintball guns require propellant, but some use HPA or high pressure air, instead. HPA tanks are more expensive and holds less shots, but are significantly more consistent (accurate) and easier and cheaper to refill. You can also tell how much you have left on a HPA tank.

All paintball parks allow co2, just based on the fact that its the most common type of air used for paintball.

Is the best beginner paintball gun a paintball pistol?

No. Paintball pistols cost as much, if not more as starter guns. besides that, they have low ball capacity and must change clips after they run out of 10 balls or so. Also they run on 12 gram co2, which is expensive to run as a main marker.


Is a paintball gun a pneumatic device?

Yes. Paintball guns are definitely pneumatic. They run on compressed gas, Co2/Compressed air, and use the release of that gas to power the mechanics inside and propel the paintball forward toward a target.Information provided by Bullit Paintball teamcaptian: Nolan M.


Does the g4 paintball gun take co2?

No, you should only run the G4 on HPA.


Can a paintball gun operate at high speeds with co2?

Yes, any gun that can run on CO2, has the electronics necessary for high speeds and a fast enough loader will shoot at the same rate as HPA. However the shots will be less consistent, and guns like these are not common.

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.


Is a paintball gun like a bb gun or no?

They run on the same concepts, having a compressed gas propel them. But bb guns are generally more powerfull, slower shooting, "classic" looking rifles and pistols. Paintball guns are either military simulation or built specifically for the needs of paintball players, that look nothing like real guns or bb guns.


Can a raven primal paintball gun run on co2?

It can if the CO2 tank you have is anti-siphoned, but your taking a risk. It is best to run the marker on HPA (compressed air, Nitro, whatever you want to call it.) The CO2 could ruin the solenoid.


How long does it take for a paintball gun CO2 tank run out?

A standard 20 oz will run for 800-1200 shots depending on the marker.


Can you switch from compressed air to CO2 in a paintball gun?

Yes, but it is highly recommended that you use HPA instead. CO2 with this marker may cause re-cocking issues as well a pressure spikes. It will defiantly cause a decrease in pressure consistency. It is recommended, if you need to run CO2, that you use an anti-siphon tank or a vertical tank with remote line to decrease liquid intake.
