I have nitrogen for other airguns but I am still using breathing quality air in both my FX 400 and RAW HM1000. Anyone using nitrogen in either gun? Any negative experiences? I really like it in my Kalibrgun carbine.

Nitrogen use in FX 400

I think Air is 80% N. I don’t think ther will be any noticeable difference and you know that nitrogen is moisture free and with Air that’s dependent on your source.

It's better than 'air' in that it is inert and contains NO moisture.
Oxygen in air will eventually, after years (so its pretty negligible issue) degrade o-rings.
And without oxygen, any moisture that you happen to introduce (if not using 'air' where would that moisture come from anyway?) to the guts of your guns will be harmless because without oxygen no corrosion can occur.
The only reason more people don't use it is expense.
I DO use N2 and use bottles from the welding supply to feed my booster up to PCP pressures (4500 PSI) to fill my CF tanks.
