It would be CO2, so about 800-900 psi.

The post about the dry ice is almost a year old, so it's no longer worth commenting on.

And don't use so many smilies - they should be used sparingly, like spices in food.
A little, and it adds to it. Too much, and it ruins it.

If in doubt, use none.

...I'm sorry, but that made my year.

Word of warning, mate - it's usually considered bad form to post in old threads (and as the last post here dates from December 2006, it's an old thread) unless you have something very valid to add.

Casual questions, "OMG cooooool" and the like are usually best left.

And the answer is no, it probably doesn't fly very straight.
Does that thing kinda look like a big cat to you?

Marbles will fly reasonably straight provided you're firing them out of a tight enough barrel...
