I'v seen alot of people using nitrogen and was
always wanting to try it some time. But does anyone have first hand experience with it and is it worth trying. ------------- 98 custom flatline R/T double Trigger custom made drop forward Halo TSA |

hey this is darren i think i might have your answers. it all depends if u play in the winter a lot or in the cold below 45 degress or play in tournys it might be worth it. but if u play mostley in the summer and a few times a year its not worth it. i was going to get nitro but money and how munch i play. plus if u live near a field were there dont fill nitro or know any body that fills them your going to have a very costley papers weigth. ------------- erik "darren" derenne |

| Since you have the rt get it. Just got mine and i love it, nitro works so well with the rt. If you ever had those periods with your rt where it wont shoot as lond as you hold the trigger but instead you get like 3 round burst then you have to realease the trigger and pull it again? Well my nitro pretty much eliminated that problem and the problem of it not cocking all the way back. You will love it, get nitro! |

ok HPA is always better, no matter what see b/c HPA is always in a GAS state of matter, which is great for a gun but co2 is both in a gas and liquid state of matter, and liquid co2 is very bad for most guns thats bascally it |

everyone pretty much explained it all. nitro is amazing. it has better consistency, accuracy, much cleaner, and just "shoots" better than C02. you will love the capabilities you can get on your marker, with nitro. |

Nitro is definitely better than CO2, without a doubt. I switched over to nitro after about a year or so of playing with CO2. The greatest advantage of nitro is definitely the fact that it isn't affected much by the weather or high rates of fire. No matter how cold it gets you won't have to worry about not having enough gas and no matter how fast you shoot you won't have to worry about freezing your gun. You also won't have to worry about velocity spikes caused by liquid CO2. The extra pressure consistency of nitro will also help tighten your shot groupings slightly because your range will be more consistent between shots. This will help you in a game if you miss the first shot and have to correct your aim. Other benefits would be not needing to change o-rings as often and being able to fill without removing the tank from the gun. If any of this sounds good to you then try it out. Make sure you can get the tank filled though because compressed air isn't as easy to find in some areas. ------------- oreomann33: Everybody invades Poland Rofl_Mao: And everyone eats turkey Me: But only if they're hungary Mack: Yeah but hungary people go russian through their food and end up with greece on everyth |

I too, will never go back. A couple of things to consider though.. Make sure your local field(s) fill nitro, some podunk fields and sporting goods stores only fill CO2. Also, make sure they also fill tanks to 4500 psi if you're considering one. Mine only fills N2 tanks to 3kpsi, no matter what you have. It depends on what type of setup the field has. Get a fiber wrapped tank if you can afford one, they are much lighter than the aluminum ones. Have fun! ------------- In the world of the blind, the one eyed rules... |
