I was wondering do you use CO2 or compressed air ? coz looking at the snow (low temps), CO2 will have its own issues correct? by the way where are you located in WA ?   Posted: Sun Feb 10, 2008 2:10 pm cw Banned Joined: 10 Feb 2008 Posts: 1771 I charge it with pure air CW Last edited by cw on Fri Jan 23, 2009 5:07 pm; edited 3 times in total   Posted: Sun Feb 10, 2008 2:39 pm Bhargav Veteran Member Joined: 23 Aug 2007 Posts: 213 Location: WA, USA cw wrote: I charge it with pure air or nitrogen. I've never had any experience with CO2, but have heard about the pressue varying with temperature. It just wouldn't work where I'm at. The weather here has been in the low teens. With air at this temp, I have not noticed any difference in how it shoots. It shoots the same as it did in the 105 degree summer. CW Ohh ok .. air or nitrogen is a good choise, variance in the shots will be only in case of CO2. Happy shooting.   Posted: Sun Feb 10, 2008 5:25 pm broommaster2000 Moderator Joined: 10 Mar 2007 Posts: 5714 Location: City of Groningen, Groningen, The Netherlands Ive seen some nitrogen rifles before. Or what was left of them. Exploded in the face of their users. _________________ BIG GAP   Posted: Sun Feb 10, 2008 5:46 pm cw Banned Joined: 10 Feb 2008 Posts: 1771 That's funny. Actually breathing air is almost all nitrogen with around 20 percent oxygen. Nitrogen is completely inert. It will not burn and in fact will extinguish a fire. It will not blow your gun up (well, maybe if you overfilled your gun). You're thinking of pure oxygen. I use pure nitrogen in my Condor and Quackenbush all the time without any problems.

I also read about someone using propane and it blew their gun apart.

Me's mixing up things, silly me. It's late and I should go to sleep. Goodnight! (By the way, I am sure I've seen smaller silencers for those rifles...) _________________ BIG GAP   Posted: Sun Feb 10, 2008 7:18 pm cw Banned Joined: 10 Feb 2008 Posts: 1771 When you turn it up past 55 fpe you need volume. The smaller ones just don't cut it above 55-60 fpe.

That is not apparently as rare an occurrence as we'd like to hope- more than one genius has used propane, and heat generated during the firing cycle causes a nice ignition effect. The ones I've heard about were people building amateurish home-made "airguns" out of copper pipe and such- then deciding propane was as good a propellant to use as anything... _________________ ` I'd say "I care."

Helium is also a lot thinner and flows through valves and orifices easier and quicker than air so that that would most likely produce higher velocitys.
