High Pressure Air (paintball)




Tank capacity ranges from 48 to 114 in³ (0.8 to 2 L). The 68 in³ (1.1 L) size is considered average.

High pressure systems are advantageous over systems that utilize carbon dioxide in that they contain propellant in a gas state only. Carbon dioxide tanks contain liquid, which must boil into gas for use by the gun. The delay time in boiling of liquid to gas can cause a problem during rapid fire known as shootdown. Another side effect is the variable pressure of the gas, giving a variable Muzzle Velocity to the projectile.
