how much does co2, hpa, or n2 cost

[SPEC_OPS]

hey guys i was just wondering what the prices are for co2, hpa and n2 gasses also which parts of the gun does co2 wear down, and can you put a reg on a gas tank (is it possible) and how much would it help.

thanks guys.

id say 60ish for co2, hp is $350 for a 45 or 68 cu in 4500 from macdev higher for bigger bottles ,no n2 in aus, depends say if you had a-5 nothing realy but for high end guns use only air and yes you can put a reg on a hpa tank

170 bucks for a 3000 psi aluminium bottle and reg i think. Rambo was talking about 4500 psi fibre wrapped bottles

no sorry guys i ment how much does like a big tank cost of co2 or hpa, or n2

They gave you prices..
check a site for prices like action or something.
Some steps:
First work out what marker you have or are getting
Next what is it capable of using(only c02 or hpa or both)
Then what size bottle do you want(the bigger the more shots)
Now go buy it and hook it up reading instructions first.

Hope this was along the right line.. other wise have no idea what your asking...

no i am talking about the tank that you use to fill the small tank that you put on your gun

get fills at your local Paintball feild for Co2.
you fill air off a scuba tank (so whatever you can get one for) plus a fill station (around $150 i think)
n2 is not used in oz.

and that is what your fill tanks will cost you =P

Scuba should cost you around $15 to hire

If you ask BOC Gases or Air Liquide where your are and you will be able to get pices for C02

For C02 ask for a "G" size bottle with an extractor tube (the bottle will have a black stripe running down the length of it to indicate it's a decant type bottle) because you want the liquid from the large bottle to fill your little one. Cost was around $47.00 for a "G" size

Chemical symbols were never my strong point but I think N2 is nitrogen, you can use this in guns running High Pressure Compressed Air and C02, the bottle your after there once again would be a "G" size EXP (EXP meaning Extra High Pressure being 4500psi) the normal High Pressure Nitrogen "G" size bottles will be pressurized to 3000psi. One catch when using Nitrogen, you will need the correct 5000 psi regulator very expensive, then some approved rated 5000psi attachment for filling the bottles again expensive.

From memory it was around $180.00 for an EXP N2 4500psi which gave us plenty of top up fills to 3000psi, I'd be guessing something around 40 top up fills depending on how low the High Pressure Paintgun Bottle was.

By the way the attchments for C02 and N2 bulk bottles will be different because of the different applications they are used in.

Scuba tanks were and probably still are the cheapist way to go (if your using guns that run only HPAir or N2) I had a guy that used to supply us scuba tanks for free so I don't know the price, a dive shop could help you there with supply and fills, again you will need an attachment to allow you to fill paintgun bottles from the scuba tank they were around $140.00 maybe more these days.

Hope this helps:lol:

thanks for the great reply just what i was looking for, but if anyone knows the prices of the air could you please share

hmm, a few people have said that n2 isnt used in aus... nitro, being nitrogen, is the same as HPA, or compressed air and IS used over here in Aus ... well from everything ive been told, and know, High Pressure Air (HPA), Compressed Air and Nitro (n2) are all the same... and seeing as though the atmosphere (which is where the HPA/Compressed air is drawn from) is something like 90% Nitrogen, it would make sence for it 2 be the same to me... so yeh, just thought id clear that 1 up... HPA/ compressed air/ n2/ nitro/ nitrogen--- All the same.............. Co2 is diff however, but stay clear of it n e way, its not very good, and depending on where u are, a lot of the fields now have compressors to refill ur HPA bottles, which, depending on where u get it filled, is cheaper than a C02 refill (me thinks :confused: not sure on that 1 100% )
