What does a nitro do??

[adVanCedSh0t]

I was wondering what does the nitro do??. I saw how exspensive they are but that doesn't bother me. Do they hold more Co2??

Nitro is compressed air or nitrogen. It's a cleaner and more consistant form of propellant than CO2. The tanks are more expensive than CO2 because they hold higher pressures. CO2 is rated at 1800 psi max whereas nitro tanks are 3,000 or 4,500 psi max.

And it makes you cool. No it doesnt... but it's also easier on your gun, much less abrassive to your internals. Alot of high end guns cant be used with Nitro. During rapid firing, your gun wont get cold or even freeze up. And the velocities you get are much more consistent than with CO2. O-rings also last forever with nitro, while CO2 trashes o-rings pretty quickly

When you fire fast for long periods of time nitro tanks get warmer its pretty damn cool
