Nitrogen is a gas used to power your gun as is compressed air, the benefits are you only compress one gas so that should mean your fps would be more consistent in use.hendy said:Nitro And Compressed Air Whats The Difirence?
plz tell me
In actual use there is hardly any difference and since it is cheaper to source and produce compressed Air that is the preferred power source throughout the world.
All regulators are able to regulate the delivery of both so that’s why you see the dual use wording on the paperwork accompanying them.
Nitrogen is not allowed as a source in the UK and other parts of Europe but it is not in any way dangerous in use.

Are you sure about that?Russell Smith said:
Not doubting as such...but...if your right...can you point me at the legislation mate, out of curiosity?
Cheers
Not sure
Not sure but i should think that you use one or the other and dont mix them if i am wrong that makes no2 i should think lol could use it on your car. Correct me if i am wrong

Air is 71% nitrogen anyway; as Russ' post points out, the phrases are inter-changabel (especially on U.S. sites) because the same bottles and regulators can hold and run both at the same pressures. Nitrogen would have to be held and filled like CO2 (from a bottle rather than from a compressor), HPA can be filled through the use of a compressor using no filtering or prior compression and storage; as such HPA is cheaper to fill than Nitro.
A “J” cylinder of Nitrogen from the likes of BOC is normally compressed to 220bar were as air form BOC is normally only 200bar. This is why a lot of rec-sites run Nitrogen rather than Air.
You are perfectly safe running Nitrogen (some peeps are getting mixed liquid nitrogen) If you mix Nitrogen with Air all you get is a lower PPO (partial percentage oxygen) nothing else. Just don’t try breathing it….
Since when was the use of Nitrogen with a paintball marker in the UK illegal?
Only Air or Nitrogen must be used in a marker (some will run on Propane )
