Paintball has continuously grown in renown during the last few years. It is similar to war games where 2 opposing teams compete for certain goals. In the game of paintball the first kit is the paintball marker or gun. The paintball marker or gun is used to eliminate players from opposing teams while attempting to reach a team goal. Game objectives may alter from capturing an opposing team’s flag and bringing it to a team starting point or eliminating all players of a certain team. A paintball marker seems like a gun and is made of a paintball tank which contains the paint balls and a propeller either a paintball co2 propeller or a compressed air propeller.
The most prevalent and used paintball propeller is the co2 variant. A co2 compressor uses carbon dioxide to propel paintballs and is mostly the most affordable type. A paintball co2 compressor comes in several different variants starting from 9oz, 120z, 20os, and 24oz types the amount of paintballs a marker can propel is highly dependent on how much gas is stored into the compressed tank. About a 20oz co2 tank can propel up to eight hundred paintballs. Paintball players should take the sort of propellers that they use as the last thing a player wants is losing propellant or bullets in a middle of a game.
Paintball co2 propellers are more well-liked than compressed air propellers due to the cost. Though c02 propellers are less expensive quality sensible the more expensive compressed air variants are known to propel more paintballs and at a more robust or faster rate. There are also reported issues with c02 compressors like its tendency to malfunction when employed in temperatures of below fifty degrees Fahrenheit. Though reported cases of co2 compressor malfunction are low it may prove to be an important issue for heavy paintball fans. Taking all debates under account though the most preferred propeller type remains the co2 variant more due to cost than anything. A player can go thru many tanks in one game and cost smart a pricey tank would appear pretty unrealistic.
Regardless of the preferred propeller, whether or not that’s a paintball co2 or a compressed air variant the important thing to think about is which suits your budget and preference. If you can shell out more then go for compressed air, if your most important focus is playing longer on a smaller budget then the co2 variant is your best bet.
