I have never really understood this and i was wondering if anyone could tell if nitros and compressed air are the same and if they use the same type of bottle?

and if they are diffrent, what would be best for a 98c.

They are one and the same.  When you hear compressed air, hpa, nitros, etc... they are talking about the same thing. 
A-5 RT$380
Double Trigger$29.95
Flatline$149.95
16in All American$75
WGP 70ci 45 CarbonFiber$200
ETC = $1026.75
Whomping newbies who have Markers that cost more than my entire setup...PRICELESS

"nitro" is not actualy pure nitrogen, its compressed air. if it were it would cost much more to fill, harder to compress, and people would be selling it to get high off of. i guess its called that becaese air is 78% nitrogen. but nitro, hpa, compressed air, are all the same thing.
