Colored C02 I think it would be a good idea. Like green puffs in woodsball instead of green. IF they can change the color of N02 than why not CO2. I use comp air but its a good idea http://www.specialopspaintball.com/brigade/member_view.asp?id=11039"> ------------- Tippmann A-5 F.L./R.T./E.G. HPA, 32 Degrees Star Bolt,Polished Internals, |

It's a good idea but I think it would be a waste and pointless. It's not like the puff is going to stay there long enough for it to be noticed enough. |

I think the only way to accoplish something like that is to mix a seperate colored gas in (no way to "dye" gas that I know of). In a HPA tank, the air is kept in a gas form, in a co2 tank the gas is kept in a liquid form. For HPA there are many gasses that can be compressed to 3500 and 4000 psi and maintain their gas form AND have a color. For co2 you require a colored gas which can be compressed into a liquid form at the preassure co2 is kept. I dont know of many gasses that could be mixed in with co2 for a low cost to color the gas. ------------- Real Men play Tuba [IMG]http://img89.imageshack.us/img89/1859/newsmall6xz.jpg"> PH33R TEH 1337 Dwarf! http://www.tippmann.com/forum/wwf77a/log_off_user.asp" rel="nofollow - DONT CLICK ME!!1 |

| Plus if you did dye the gas, the dye would get all up in your marker. |

The “puff” you see when firing a CO2 marker is not the CO2 itself, rather it is the condensation of the moisture in the air around the CO2. |

either way, i think it would be cool too, if unreasonable....about the
colored N2 thing, does that mess up your marker? and where can you get
it done?

N02 is nitrous oxide... you can probly get away with filling a C02 tank with N02 since they are under the same pressures. but it would be expencive. its 13 bux a pound at one car store in town.
HPA/Nitro tanks use eather high pressure air or pure nitrogen. |

First of all: "Like green puffs in woodsball instead of green." Green puffs instead of green, What were you smoking when you wrote this. Maybe you should read over what you typed before you submit it. Second of all this is the dumbest idea that I have ever heard of. What the **** is the point in having a colored gas. They would be able to see the puff if it was green or white (like what I think you tried to say instead of green again). Plus you are probably one of those people that say "Just Shoot Me"! |
I think this should have been in the poll for the dumbest ideas posted about two slots above this one.Posted By: HITMAN 4 HIRE

ABSOLUTELY NOT. thats actually a really good idea, and should be tweeked to where the c02 should put out light puffs of grayish gas. which in return would make scenario paintball more realistic. ------------- http://img56.imageshack.us/my.php?image=27278mo.jpg"> Because I can.

Well it is a good idea but seems like it might be too expensive. I agree with Hitman 4 Hire when he says that Purdy should lay off, it is a good idea, im sure that if you came up with an idea you wouldn't want people ragging on you for it. |

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. ------------- "Abortion is not "choice" in America. It is forced and the democrats are behind it, with the goal of eugenics at its foundation." -FreeEnterprise, 21 April 2011. Yup, he actually said 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? -------------

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 FEEL LIKE A NERD ------------- Real guns have gills. |

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? |
