nitrogen...

what exactly will nitrogen do for me that co2 wont, and why should i get an expansion chamber?

Its alot better for your gun alot more cleaner.  At high rates of fire your gun wont freeze , it is also more consistant.

way cheaper..mor sonsistent..and with co2 it is mixed with water so it can freeze and hurt electro guns{not the 98} hpa its all just air and no water

Getting HPA will increase your consitancy, therefore increasing accuracy.

If you get HPA, Expansion chambers won't do anything for you. They may actually hinder performance.

is this a HPA tank? http://www.800paintball.com/Shop/Control/Product/fp/vpid/146 0408/vpcsid/0/SFV/30363

i think its nitro but not sure

HPA/nitro tanks are the same tanks.

You don't have to switch out any internals to go to HPA. Just make sure you buy a high output tank (800-850 psi). Careful, some tanks only put out 750 psi and will cause velocity issues.

CO2 does not contain water- cold air causes the water vapor in the air to condense. Just like a cold glass of water on a table- water doesn't sepp thorugh the glass or climb over it- the water vapor paarticles have a high state of energy, and move around very quickly. When they get cold, they start slowing down. Kinda like an airplane that suddenly runs out of fuel.

A remote will work fine with HPA. And don't let anyone tell you that nonsense that you can't run a remote that is only rated at 3000 psi on a 4500psi tank. The output of the tank is still only 800-850psi, the 3000, 4500, or 5000 psi is the pressure that the air INSIDE the tank is filled to. There are three number to look at when buying and HPA tank. Usually only two are listed on the tank itself. Like 68/4500. This is 68 cubic inch (ci), size, that can be pressurised to 4500 pounds per square inch (PSI). The third number might just be listed in the manual or on the box as high or low pressure. Most come in either 800ish, or 400ish psi outputs. Get a high pressure or 800ish output tank. The low pressure ones are for a few low pressure guns. Even if you get the low pressure kit from Tippmann, use a seconday regulator and an high pressure tank. And you don't need the low pressure, or HPA kit from Tippmann to use a HPA tank. It will just screw right in, and you are good to go.

You can get them filled at most decent fields and stores.

The shot to shot pressure and therefore velocity is more consistant, the same each time. This helps with accuracy because each ball is being shot out the same way each time. Consistency is the basis for all accuracy.
