Paintball Compressor

Executive Summary about Paintball Compressor By Ryan Gert

Certain paintball guns must use HPA. If you didn't know, nitrogen, compressed air , and HPA tanks are all the same thing. When rapid fire occurs the liquid evaporates into gas and cools the tank. Cold weather can also cause problems. Compressed air is immune to cold weather problems and provides excellent consistency, unlike Co2. Fiber wrapped tanks are more expensive but are lighter than aluminum and steel.

How to Make Paintball Grenades

Executive Summary about Paintball Compressor By Ray Manuel

Making your own homemade paintball grenades can be an easy, cheap and great way to save more than a couple bucks in your paintball fund.  The paintball grenade itself is made using rubber tubing, much like the tubing used as the sling on a slingshot.  Further more, when the tubing is pressurized and the paintball grenade discharges it often spins in a circular motion, which maximizes paint exposure.

Compressed Air Tanks - Taking Your Paintball Gun to New Levels of Performance

Executive Summary about Paintball Compressor By Daniel Klaas

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 standard CO2 tank will hold 850 psi of pressure. 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. For 4500 psi tanks, multiple the size by 15.

Blowgun Paintball Guns - Of all of the types of homemade paintball guns you can make, these are the simplest. Homemade Air Paintball Guns - These are the next simplest paintball guns you can make. PVC Paintball Guns - Perhaps one of the most dangerous alternatives you could ever go with. Horror stories include cases where shrapnel from PVC guns that exploded severed fingers.

Low Pressure Vs. High Pressure Paintball Tanks

By Anthony Sakaneeny

The terms "nitrogen tank" and "high pressure air" (HPA) tank mean the same thing. Second, "high pressure" or "low pressure" refers to the actual output pressure of the regulator on your tank. High pressure tanks usually output 800 to 850 PSI. Low Pressure tanks usually output 450 PSI. Both HP and LP tanks have preset outputs. High pressure regulators go inline (in between) the tank and the gun. LP guns can use LP tanks. LP guns can also use an LP tank.

Paintball: Understanding CO2 and Compressed Air

By Blair Stephen

CIs, PSI, OZs, C02, Burst Disc, Regulator, Tank, Nitrogen, Compressed Air, Nitro, and the list goes on. The other gas used is Compressed Air. Compressed Air is just what the name implies; air that is compressed. 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.
