co2 or Nitro

[bruboy720]

What wud u rather have? CO2 OR NITRO?

[elTwitcho]

Money and availability aside, there's no reason to use CO2 over nitro.

[DasBaldDog]

Well there's the big difference. Which do I have/can afford? or Which would I like? That's like asking would you rather have the Chevy s-10 or the Dodge Viper. I can afford one but not the other. Like ElTwitcho said, besides costs and avail, there are no advantages to Co2

[Richy_C]

Nitro, it's mmm mmm better

[krasher]

Nitro is far better for your gun, it doesn't freeze up o-rings or gunk up internals. It is more consistent because the tank comes with a reg and does not have to change state from liquid to gas. The only drawbacks are the price of tanks, and the size required to get a decent number of shots out of a tank.

what kind of poll is this? evrybody besides the terminally stupid knows nitro is better

[Silent Knight]

if i don't include money as a factor. I would rather have N2. It has better performance attributes than Co2

[I win]

Nitro is to much money!

[dawgs712]

i win...you can get a nitro tank for 70 bucks new. thats not that much considering we are talking about paintball

[Guesswho?]

Nitro is the choice, if you can afford it!

I've always wondered something: What's the difference between anti-siphoned CO2 and N2?

[ds613]

Anti-siphoned co2 is dirty and cold (bad for internals) and can turn back to liquid. If you turn your tank the wrong way the anti-siphon tube doesn't work, and I'm not sure but I think the tanks are usually heavier since they contain liquid. Also, the pressure won't stay consistant. I use anti-siphoned co2 with my Impulse, and my velocity is +/- 7 to 10 f.p.s.

[Wasimodo]

Of course, anti-siphoned CO2 is still warmer than non anti-siphoned CO2. Also, if you got your anti-siphon tube installed correctly, it shouldn't ever turn upside down. The reason it would draw out liquid if it were turned upside down is because the anti-siphon is simply a tube bent at a 90 degree angle such that the bend in the tube is pointing up, allowing it to only suck in gas. And about consistency: I get +/- 2 with my stabilizer and tank. Weird.
