Nitro is compressed air. I got confused myself with that cuz of different names. HPA doesn't change to a liqiud under pressure and isn't temperture sensitive like CO2. Since there is no liqiud, an X chamber isn't nessasary. Also it is more constant while rapide fire so your shots aren't going all over the place.

no difference? are you crazy, yes there is a big difference. especially if you want to compete on the tournament level, n2 is pretty much a must have. AK47, already explained some of the benifits of using an HPA system. The better consistency = better accuracy, and a tighter shot grouping

nitro and HPA are the same thing. our atmosphere is made of 70% nitrogen, 21% oxygen, and 9% other gasses (please don't reply flaming me about the numbers, I'm not the one that did the research). High pressure air is, well, air. Unless nitrogen systems use pure N2 (which I doubt), they are the same.

Nitrogen is dry air. They use it on aircraft tires for that reason. When a plane is flying it is subject to freezing temps. so they use that instead of compressed air which contains moister to some extent. But all in all compressed air or nitrogen are the same as far as markers using it.
