    introduction of HPA

    Hi. I'm doing a research paper that is focusing on the evolution of paintball equipment for school. I need to know when AGD introduced the use of nitorgen/HPA into the sport as a solution to the mags on co2 problem(or so I was told was the reason). If anyone knows at least the year, or within a few years, that would be great. Thanks.

      well i know in the tech video they show nitro tanks, they weren't mainstream, but they had them, i do believe that's '92, '93, leanin more towards the '93...sorry for the vaugness, but hopefully that will lead you in some what of a right direction

                  I watched the tech tape last night. Almost positive HPA was available in '92. But it was late and I was

                      We introed it in 1991 to a bunch of negative publicity saying it will kill people and has no place in this sport.

                          How do you patent compressed air? AGD didn't exactly make anything new, just applied what already existed in a new way. Pressure regulators weren't first used in paintball, and neither were fiber wrapped tanks, quick disconnects, braided steel line, etc.
