Nitro

[bigox]

i live in chicago il of the us

the nitro tanks in the us can old nitroge n2 or compressed air and int the us we can and do at almost everywhere and all tournem use pure nitrogen because of its consistency and inertness

i'm fairly sure the tourny at temple used nitrogen for a while to bulk fill with. apparently it makes titanium barrels spark

hehehehe better get me a titanium barrel then !

n2 is actually a hell of a lot better for your gun as it is a lot cleaner than compressed air and the consistancy seems a a lot better too....

Might be because its a more pure gas than air which is made up of various gases.

Seems to make sense that nitro is better than comp. air.

Depends on how the air is treated when you compress it. I know that H-PAC have some serious filters on their compressor trucks, giving out breathing quality air with all the sh*t taken out.

My understanding is that in the US at least, pure nitro fills are generally done by industrial air supply operations that guarantee clean, pure gas is being provided. Although HPA may be somewhat dirtier, it's not nearly as dirty as CO2. Having used pure nitro and also HPA, I couldn't tell any difference between the two, except that my local shop charges more for the pure nitro because they claim it's cleaner. Maybe they were just giving me a line of BS so that they could charge me more.

They trying to say the quality of their HPA is crap?

Cheers Guys, looks like Nitro could be the way to go for our practise gas!

Pgaglio, you will get charged more for Nitro over HPA as nitro is a refined and processed gas, with everything else taken out. Air doesn't need the processing as its just pumped in through a filter so is free.
