le and then put the bottle in your pack. This makes the gun lighter. A regulator controls what pressure the gas is let into your gun. These are used with low-pressure systems that will drop the gas’s pressure, making the gun more accurate, more consistent and more gas and paint efficient. Expansion Chambers are good for guns running off of Co2. When it is too hot or cold out, your Co2 will come out frozen, or liquid. Expansion chambers allow the gas to pass through multiple chambers, and make it gas again. This will save you maintenance on your gun, and makes it more gas efficient. There are many other ways to modify your gun such as; custom anodizing, sights, grips, and triggers that wont change your gun’s performance much, but will make it look really neat. Co2 and nitrogen are the gas setups you can get for your gun. Co2 is the cheapest, smallest, and most available. Bottles range from 4 ounce to 24 ounce and wont cost you over 50 dollars. A normal 12-ounce tank will shoot about 500 shots at room temperature. Refills cost about 4 dollars, and are easy to get refilled. Co2 will wear down your gun sometimes and is not very consistent. That is why better players get a nitrogen system. Nitrogen is more expensive, larger, and harder to fill than Co2. Nitrogen bottles range from 3000 to 4500 p.s.i. , and 40 to 120 cubic inches. A setup will cost from 100 to 500 dollars. A normal 80 cubic inch, 3000 p.s.i. tank will shoot about 700 times. Nitrogen will not damage your gun, and doesn’t need equipment like expansion chambers. Shots are more consistent, which means more accuracy and better play. Besides gas, you need to have a few other items.Masks and armor can be the most important equipment. They protect your face and body from potentially dangerous paintballs. Masks are made from plastic or rubber, and the better ones have anti-fog lenses and fans to draw moisture. Masks are mandatory in all game...
