Nitro/Compressed Air?

Not really! If you say N2 then its pretty much the say thing as compressed air! But im not sure where p8ntballers get the idea the Nitro (Nitrous Oxide NO or Nitrous Dioxide NO2 Can't remember which!) Is you in their air tanks! Nitro is a propellant and is highly illegal to use in cars in this country and pretty sure! Even though some ppl do! ANd yes you can get compressed air at any decent scuba shop!
Ok,
That last post was so mangled that I couldn't really understand most of it, but from what I could gather, it was wrong.
"Nitro" for paintball refers to "nitrogen", a common, naturally occuring gas which you couldn't use in cars, and is perfectly legal. When reffering to high pressure bottles for paintball, the terms nitro and compressed air are interchangeable (a "nitro" or nitrogen tank IS the same as a compressed air tank). However, most scuba shops only fill compressed air, and compressed air is much more readily available.

so you can use both in the same tank(nitrogen and compressed air) just whatever is available? and Munkeh, were you stoned when you wrote that post?
Yes, after all, atmosphere is mostly nitrogen anyhow. The concern some people have is that compressed air tends to be dirtier than nitrogen from a gas supplier, but the Bauer compressors they used at WC 2002 were thoroughly filtered. If that is a consistent practice (I assume scuba shops have an interest in clean air for their tanks) then one is as good as the other.
I don't think Munkeh wrote that. I think it was an orange safety cone that somehow got Munkeh's password. Orange safety cones (and most other pieces of construction equipment) only use exclamation marks when they type. Also, orange safety cones typing make little or no sense.
