Err.....you'll be wanting a bottle of regular compressed air, otherwise known breathing air for paintball

A bottle of pure O2 is what you'll need to send a rocket to the moon or to blow yourself into small bite size chunks.

as far as i know that would be ok, seeing as air is 70% n2 anyway :p so this impure n2 may just be air anyway,

02 is just a bad idea because if it breaks and sparks, its highly oxidising (duh) so itll blow up nicely :)

i would of though that air would be cheapest by far because all you need to do it pump it in from the air, no nitrogen etc producing kit needed. ?

I don't know about inpure N2. All that you are after is regualr compressed atmosphere air that is breathing (scuba) quality. Any thing outside the norm and you are just asking for problems.

You will also need a fill rig to connect to the bottle which you can then fill your air system from of course. Planet sell them, make sure you get the type that is suitable for the bulk bottle.

Just stay with compressed air, that is all. If there was anything 'better' don't you think people would already be using it? In the states N2 is a preferable alternative to compressed air due to it being purer but over here N2 is not commonplace due to laws governing it's usage.

If you put anything else apart from N2 or compressed air through your paintball equipment you are risking your life and that of people around you.
