CO₂ for compressed air pistols
The firing with a paintball-pistol or sports pistol is done by the expansion of gas. Compressed air can be used for this, but also (liquid) CO2. If the liquid CO2 is released it converts into gas and because of the released pressure the paintball or pellet is fired.
Requirements
In very cold conditions it can involve irregular firing, but an expansion-chamber on the compressed air pistol can easily remedy this.
IJsfabriek Strombeek provides CO2 bottles with dip tube (to retrieve the liquid CO2 from the bottle) in different formats.
Advantages
-
Cheaper
-
CO2 is under lower pressure and is therefore easier to fill then compressed air
