: I was wondering if it would be acceptable to use gases generated from chemical reactions in tank main guns. Rather than using SCUBA tanks with CO2 or whatever, could you simply mix two chemicals in the gun which would release a gas, pressurize the chamber and fire the nerf or paintballs. Would this be acceptable for a paintball field and has anyone attempted it?
sounds like an uncontroled "explosive" reaction to me. combustion potato cannons to my knowledge have never been allowed at any paintball fields. i think you're best to just stick with compressed air or co2. what chemicals did you have in mind?
