Would an N2 catridge be dangerouse?? Or Exspensive??

[133+ Player]

Ok i have a maybe good idea....

N2 catridges. Like i noticed on some phantoms that they use co2 catridges. Well i was thinking maybe N2 catridges for better accuracy and stuff??? or Would it Be too Dangerous... exspensive?

It would be unworkable actually. CO2, because of the way it works, does not require a regulator. When the liquid changes to a gas, it puts out approximately 750psi. So with a full cartridge of CO2, your first shot will be at 750psi, the next shot, some liquid evaporates and the next shot will also be at 750 psi. Nitrogen/Compressed Air does not have a liquid state at any safe pressures. SO the first shot would be about 750psi, the next shot would be maybe 400psi (if you're lucky) and the third shot would be at maybe 30psi, which just isn't workable for Catridges. If you were to pressurize the cartridge at 3000psi to get any workable number of shots, you would need a regulator, bumping the cost to at least 70 dollars per per cartridge, for maybe 10 good shots. It just wouldn't work

...unless the gun had a build-in primary/secondary reg.

i just said somthing on that lines on the thing he posted in pump forum.

No guns have built in regs that are usable at an input of 3000psi. In fact, I don't know of a single inline regulator that will accept that input pressure

yes twitch makes a good point, and no i dont think they are any regs that will handle 3000 psi . . . another thing would be that it would be pointless, someone using nitrogen uses it for the consistency and high out put flow rates, a little cartridge (if it somehow worked) would not hold enough shots to shoot for mre than 3 seconds. they would also be expensive since a reg is needed for HPA.

or maybe the adapter (that you would buy just like with normal Co2 adapters) would have one??

[-RuShPB227-]

the regs on the N2 tanks must be able to take an input pressure of 3000psi, so if they put one on the adaptor like 133+ player said, maybe that would work.

OK lemme exsplain my point....

The Catridge and ADAPTER (including reg IN THE ADAPTER ect...) would give consistency and maybe 20 shots. For Good Snipers and maybe some other HIGH END pumps or semis it would be a good idea if you were unable to get nitro.

i dont know if they would workfor paintball but i shoot compation pellet guns and theyrun off n2 cartrages that u fill witha scuba no regulator needed but there only for certain pellet guns so i dont know if it could be transferable to paintball id buy one for my gun to see how it works and id put it on my hornet to see if it works with pb but i cant find them at store only at web pages for guns its called the BROCK system or some thing
