I am new to air guns and have bought the Benjamin Trail NP and I am looking at getting the Benjamin Marauder and would like to know if
there is a difference in air and co2 in terms of performance. I read where it says if using air you can fill to 3000 and if using co2 fill to 2000. I have 3 large paintball tanks and was just wondering if I it is worth buying the adapter to fill the gun using co2. |

Co2 can't be filled to a specific pressure- it's pressure is dependent on temperature. For example, at 68*F Co2 has a pressure of 833psi, at 100*F it's pressure is 1235psi. At 1800psi (which is the maximum pressure a paintball tank is designed to hold safely, it would need to be at 133.5*F
So- using Co2 is likely to allow you about 800-1000psi realistically, and that assume you live in a climate that is warm year-round (temperature drops, pressure also drops). Is it worth it to use Co2? You decide- but it costs money and the rifle will not put out as much power. |
