Can compressed air make my paintball gun shoot more accurect , compired to CO2?

Question

An is bad to use compressed air on a 98C tippmann paintball gun that already has a flatline on it?

Also i got is it bad for a Xchamber on a 98C tippmann

Answer 1

Yes, it will make you shoot more accurately than CO2 and no it isn't bad for the marker at all.

This said, the only reason that it will shoot more accurately is that you will have consistent output pressure behind the ball and this means the velocity will remain the same. Two paintballs fired at the same velocity will travel the same distance through the same barrel. This means you can be sure your paintball will be landing in the same spot time after time. With CO2, in an UNREGULATED system, you can have problems with the pressure dropping or getting too high, thus your paint will go farther or shorter from shot to shot.

Answer 2

Nope, it won't affect the accuracy of your marker. The things that mainly affect the accuracy is the barrel and the paint.
HPA is better for your marker than Co2, as air is in a gas the whole time, Co2 will sometimes enter the marker as a liquid. your expansion chamber should take care of that, but if it does enter your marker, it's hard on the parts.
The flatline system is usually pretty good on accuracy, but that will still only help so much.

Answer 3

You won't have velocity spikes with compressed air like you will with C02 and you can play in colder weather. Keep your tippmann's bolt and chamber oiled regularly (after 2-3 full days of play) and if any liquid C02 gets through the expansion chamber, the oil with keep the internals safe from any freezing damage. C02 is perfectly ok for Tippmanns.

Answer 4

well, depends on the pressure and the gun
