just pure air power ( idea )

i wish someone wold create a paintball gun that shoots at a max of 400 fps and runs purely on air , like the tank can get filled by a air hoe that you can find in like a car shop , or your cars air compresser for you tires . i think it wold be alot more fun if it was perfected . it woldent have any truble in temps and stuff .i mean why coldent someone do that , the air wold be basicly free , just need a car or battarys
( sorry for the spelling )

the pics dosent work

why is it so stupid

He was just saying the maximum velocity should be able to reach 400 fps, he wasn't saying he was gonna play with it up that high.

its becoming apparent that we need a forum specifically for drunk people.
retards also.

Well they do have guns that work straight from the air. It is called HPA. The only difference is that HPA filteres the moisture so it doesn't get in your gun. All high end guns use HPA. Compressors that will fill 3000, 4500. 5000 psi tanks are going to cost you in the thousands of $$ range. I think you will personally save money buy just paying for co2 or HPA refills.

It sound nice. But some one can still get killed with the hpa tank if they use a shop compressor. I would go to a paintball shop to get the tank filled.

moisture + carbon fiber tanks = eventual death

om jee ur so sly

isint hpa just basicly nitro>?
i also heard that you can se nitro on likea AS-5 and hpa a lpk and al whol buch of stuff

Tippmania wrote: ....what? LPK and HPA are different.. Yes, HPA is at times called "Nitro\Nitrogen"....not the correct term though, it's called "Compressed Air" LPK is "Low Pressure Air" and HPA is "High Pressure Air"....simple. Think of the oxygen that they use in hospitals.. it's basically the same thing.

Holy Crap. This thread needs to be locked before some new player comes in here and gets really confused.

HPA (high pressure air) is pretty much the same thing as Nitrogen seeings as air is mostly nitrogen. LPK is (low pressure kit) this is used in conjunction with HPA to make the gun work on a lower pressure. Lets say your gun usually runs at 800psi, after you install the kit, it will run around 300-400psi.

This guys is saying that a gun should run off of a shop compressor. Shop compressors do not push out enough pressure to be any use. However if you look up the paintball gun called the Evolt, you will find that it uses a large solenoid to compress air then force it down the barre, pushing the ball. This gun never took off because the batterylife was so-so and it cost an arm and a leg.

My goodness people.
