Eagle,<BR>> <BR>> I am also an avid paintball player. I have played
with a number of<BR>> guns using both O2 and CO2. I had a Tippman Model
98 I used with <BR>> CO2<BR>> that I kept regulated at 296 feet per second
with a warm tank. As <BR>> you<BR>> shoot the tank cools down and
the pressure inside drops. It <BR>> dropped<BR>> the speed
down to around 230 when the tank got really cold (frosted <BR>> on<BR>>
the outside). It is a noticable drop. I only had a problem with
<BR>> it<BR>> when I was shooting real fast or a lot at once. I now
use O2 with <BR>> my<BR>> new gun (<STRONG><EM><U><FONT

never have any problems.<BR>> <BR>> Eric<BR>> NY<BR>> <BR>>

Actually I have no military training. (My SN comes from being <BR>>
an<BR>> Eagle<BR>> Scout). I have just had the rules of safe gun
handling drilled <BR>> into<BR>> me.<BR>> Rule 1 "Don't point a gun at
anything you do not mind destroying." <BR>> In<BR>> my<BR>> mind
a marker is still a gun.<BR>> <BR>> As for
my friend. I don't think his issue is so much with<BR>> getting<BR>>
liquid in the gun. It is that as you shoot and are pulling gas out
<BR>> of<BR>> the<BR>> tank the temperature goes down. This drop
in temp he claims makes <BR>> a<BR>> noticeable drop in pressure. I
understand the chemistry behind <BR>> that,<BR>> but<BR>> how much
speed (in the balls) do you really loose? Thanks<BR>> <BR>>
