It's not more efficient, it's just that it's pressurized gas, so it's more consistent, as it's not busy changing states from liquid to solid like CO2, and it's regulated right out of the bottle, so overall, you shoot better.

C02= liquid in a tank that vaporizes into a gas. The gas powers the marker. When you shoot fast, the gas can't vaporize quickly enough, and the tank gets cold. Then, you start sucking liquid C02. Not good at all for the markers internals.

Nitro/HPA/Comp-Air= all the same thing, when it comes to paintball, at least. I'll call it HPA. HPA is a true gas; compressed air we breathe. Due to the fact that a gas doesn't have to change forms, you can lay down some serious paint and never suck liquid (because there is none). This makes HPA-run markers more consistent over the chrono. Higher end guns require this type of gas, and will not run on C02.

Not nearly as effective. HPA owns all.
