: hello I have a question about co2 and argon. I know that co2 is used for welding and so is a co2/argon mix. My dad would like to get a 50 lb bulk co2 tank and use a co2/argon mix for welding. I was wondering if I could use that gas combonation in my paintball guns? Co2 and argon are basically the same gas except argon is much cleaner.

: Thanks

CO2 and Argon are not the same thing. CO2 is filled by weight - a 20oz tank has 20oz of CO2. Argon (Ar) is filled by pressure like Nitrogen (N2).
