CO2 vs. Nitrogen

[FrostPaintball]

When I purchased my Spider E99 for rec ball with my buddies I was sold a 20 ounce CO2 tank.

I was browsing online looking at upgrades and found the Nitrogen tanks.

Could someone tell me the advantage of upgrading your tank. The cost is significant is the performance upgrade?

Thanks for your response ahead of time.

Nitrogen or AIR as we refer to it, is far more consistent than co2, which will help your accuracy.
Unfortunately air is definitely dearer than co2, but if you can afford to change to air, do it.

Air

Most tourneys supply air and co2 but walk ons and such will normally charge 4£ for air or somethig whilst co2 is free.

Air is better in all respects except price.
It's more consistent as it isn't affected by temperature as much as co2 and it's a damn sight easier to handle.
Just much more expensive, but you can get a pre-set for around £100 now, so not too bad.
So, if you can afford it, get air...... no negatives except price.
