How do they make a paintball gun that works on 5000 PSI air? Wouldn't
it end up being really heavy? How fast are those paintballs going to
go with 5000 PSI behind them? Doesn't the performance decline as the
air is used up? I would think that you could get a lot more shots out
of an equivalent volume of liquified CO2.
