I was wondering if there are any advantages to using a paintall coil. I mean that as in the coil that you attatch to your co2 tank and your paintball marker. And with it you can keep your co2 tank in your paintball harness.

Are there any advantages to using a paintball coil?

I want to know about how many shots should i expect to get on a tippmann a5 with cyclone feed and the response trigger set up with a 20 oz. co2 tank. I wan’t answers from someone who owns an a5 with response trigger.

How many shots can you get with 20oz. Co2 tank on a tippmann a5 paintball gun with response trigger?

Executive Summary about Paintball Compressor by Daniel Klaas

The concept borrowed from bb guns and air pistols, paintball guns began using CO2 in the form of 12 gram disposable cartridges. Compressed air, aka Nitrogen, is the other primary propellant in paintball today.

Unlike CO2, a compressed air paintball tank is filled with normal air. a nitrogen paintball tank is made with special materials and designed to store very high pressure. a standard CO2 tank will hold 850 psi of pressure. a compressed air tank can hold either 3000 or 4500 psi of air, depending on the model that you choose.

A special compressor is used to fill a nitrogen tank. they can also be filled using a reserve tank of higher pressure and a filling adapter system. all compressed air tanks have a regulator installed on them which brings the pressure exiting the tank down to a usable level for the paintball gun. Regulators can be factory set, fixed at either high pressure (850 psi) or low pressure (400 psi). for 4500 psi tanks, multiple the size by 15.

Paintball: Understanding CO2 and Compressed Air

Executive Summary about Paintball Compressor by Blair Stephens

CIs, PSI, OZs, C02, Burst Disc, Regulator, Tank, Nitrogen, Compressed Air, Nitro, and the list goes on. C02 and Compressed Air are used almost exclusively in the Paintball. the other gas used is Compressed Air. Compressed Air is just what the name implies; air that is compressed. C02 is inherently less stable than compressed air when it comes to paintball air systems.

When a c02 tank is filled it is actually filled with liquid C02. When you purchase a 20oz C02 tank, the 20ozs refers to the capacity of the tank. As you begin to empty the tank (by firing your marker) the liquid c02 in the tank continues to convert into a gas. Compressed Air is the other major type of air used in paintball. Many players think there is a difference in Nitrogen tanks and Compressed Air tanks.

So calling a compressed air tank a “nitrogen” tank isn’t far from the truth. In paintball common tank sizes include 45ci, 68ci, and 88ci. Typically 3000psi tanks are made out of aluminum (much like a scuba tank) and 4500psi tanks are made from a fiber wrapped aluminum bottle. for example; a 68 / 45 refers to a tank that has a 68 cubic inch bottle and is rated to 4500psi.

I want to sell my paintball stuff what would be a good price?

Im using a semi-auto and i pick my shots!

Whaen you play paitball with a 9oz co2tank how many shots can you get without refilling your co2 tank?

There’s something familiar about playing paintball with just a good old Tippmann, Spyder or similar-type gun with a CO2 tank. It probably has something to do with the way I was introduced to the game, but there’s something so comforting about just screwing on a tank and pulling the trigger. Playing with dwell times and tuning output pressures and getting after-market boards can be fun, but it also can take away from the pure enjoyment of the sport of paintball.

One thing I’ve come to realize is that a competition with the “best” guns doesn’t mean the game is any more fun to play. The games I enjoy the best are when everybody is shooting a comparable gun. that way, when somebody does better, it’s because that person won on their merits. I don’t care if it’s Egos and Angels, Tippmanns and Piranhas or plastic pumps, it’s better when everybody is shooting comparable guns.

But, when I play a game with semi-automatics, I find that I run more, spend less time behind bunkers and generally enjoy the game more. I like the basic blowbacks because they remind me of playing the game how I learned to play it.

5 things you Need In your Paintball Gear

Lots of times when I go to my local paintball field I always have to lend something from my gear bag, whether it be my batteries, goggle spray or sometimes an extra co2 tank. it can be quite frustrating and it’s actually the reason for this article. I want to show the lazy peeps out there what they need to bring to the field, because I’m not always going to have that extra co2 tank!

Here’s 5 things you must have in your gear bag…

1) Spare parts kit

You should always have a spare parts kits in your gear bag just in case your paintball gun malfunctions. I don’t know how many times someone has lost parts or broke their paintball gun on the field only for them to have no tools to fix it.

A spare parts kit should consist mainly of the following:

- Spare O-Rings because O-rings do wear out over time. If you don’t have backup O-rings you could be looking at your air leaking.

- Allen Wrenches – Sometimes it’s necessary to clean your marker on or off the field, and you’ll need the allen keys to field strip your marker!

- always need lube, carry lube with you everywhere on and off the field, even at parties…

2) Barrel Condoms

You’re going to need a barrel condom whether you like it or not. most paintball fields if not all require them. If you don’t have one you could be forced not to play that day, so wear protection frequently and stay safe.

3) Goggle Spray and Towel

I see lots of players not bringing these two things to the field. this one should be the most obvious, you can’t hit what you can’t see! your mask will fog up and eventually get covered in paint so be ready with goggle spray and a towel.

4) Extra Batteries

Nothing sucks more then when you’re at the field and your paintball gun dies on you because you forgot your batteries at home. Seriously, don’t be cheap and get a set of batteries, unless of course you run a mechanical marker.

5) Squeegee

Absolutely positively need one of these. a squeegee cleans your barrel after paintballs break in them. If you do not clear and clean out the barrel, your paintballs will shoot in different directions or worse not shoot at all.

So those are the 5 most important things you should have in your gear bag. just don’t forget your paintball gun, mask, co2 tank, and hopper.
