>>in paintball guns. Air is roughly 70% >>Nitrogen, but also has other gasses like oxygen >>and carbon dioxide. Nitrogen is commercially >>purified and bottled, but it is a very >>expensive process to do this. Compressed air is >>usually just atmospheric air compressed into a >>tank. Many people think that if they get there >>nitro off of a bulk tank that it is pure nitro, >>this is not always the case.
>> Nitrogen is also an inert gas, which mean if >>your stupid and put oil in your reg and you it >>with nitro, your tank wont explode. If you fill >>your tank with compressed air, cause of the >>oxygen content it could explode when you fill.
