I think I am gonna hook up one of those to my shop compressor and do a test
for the group. I will let you know how it goes. I want to see how far a
paintball can go on about 150 lbs of pressure...

"Rock and Roll" switch (forward and reverse work as a trigger actuator).
Hitting 22-23 round per second is what I've done on a buddies Bob Long
Marker. My old Kingman had a modified electronic trigger (upgraded board).
We're "die hard" paintballers at work. :)

Unload a hopper (at full auto) and you'll see what I mean with CO2. It's
fine for "basic" use...just not anything for serious play.

Do you have an electronic triggerframe? How are you shooting 15-22
rounds/sec? IIRC, the fastest you can pull the trigger manually is
something like 12-14 rounds/sec - and that's only if you're _really_ fast.

I've never had any problems running CO2 and I've played for a solid 8 - 10
hours in a row before at meets and such. I'm glad that compressed air works
better *for you* but for now I'll continue to run CO2 and be happy with it.
I do have to say that if Nitrogen is available, I'll play with that. I like
the way it performs better than CO2.
