No. You almost never see the puff, and it dissipates almost instantly. As someone pointed out, it's the moisture in teh air you see, not what fired out of your marker. The cold temperature of the CO2 causes instand condensation when it mikes with the air, which promptly warms and vaporizes again.

A dumb idea, and impractical at that.

As for the green puff in the woods.. whats it matter? If you think that having a "camo" puff of Co2 instead of a white one is going to conceal your position more, you're wrong. Because by the time you shoot, your target is already close enough that they could easily detect you, and the sound of the gun firing gives away your position.
Kind of a neat idea I guess.. but useless.

You guys seriously need to stop being so harsh.
Its only an idea.. and this one is kind of original.
I can see it if the person would have mentioned a paintball shotgun.. but this idea isn't TOTLLY moronic. Lighten up.

Not being harsh, just logical. 'Dumb idea' is the only bit that could be considered at all harsh, but that's just voicing an opinion. The rest was just science.

Oh, im sure its possible to "dye" or change the color of gas. We just dont know how-yet. Believe me, in science nothing is impossible. It may be impossible at the time, but not impossible forever.

Wouldn't that be funny if SOMEHOW (its nearly impossible.. but anything is possible) the fire flashed back through the propane in the gun and the propane tank blew up?

kept in a liquid form.Ê For HPA there are many gasses that can
be
compressed to 3500 and 4000 psi and maintain their gas form
AND have a
color.ÊÊ For co2 you require a colored gas which can be
compressed into a liquid form at the preassure co2 is kept.Ê I
dont know of many gasses that could be mixed in with co2 for a
low cost
to color the gas.



CO2 is all three at some time ...liquid solid and a gas
if you were to put in a couple drops of food coloring then you fill
er up after solid co2 is under pressure it becomes liquid co2
and then itll mix...BUT!, i dont think theres a freeze-prrof food
coloring out there, unless you mixxed it with some salt, but it
would still freeze under the extreme cold temp, you could try
food colored antifreeze with food coloring and co2....GOD I

So what if it's pointless!!!  It stll might look cool.  I take it that every single one of you who flamed this person has a plain black gun,  drives a plain stock car, and wears drab clothes right?  It's about style, individuality, and personality.  It's about what looks cool.  And I think that having a colored puff would be kinda cool, at the target line at least.  It's something to show off.  Why get a colored gun?  It's pointless and dumb right?  Why have colored stickies?  Why put a sticker on your hopper?  All pointless and dumb right?  They don't serve any practical purpose do they?
