Hey, I was wondering what type of tank I should use, because when I play, most of the time the temperature will be between 30-40 Celsius.

i dont know what celsius is in f* but compressed and nitro give you the most consistent shots but compressed air tends to cost a little more

With Celsius to Fahrenheit, roughly, double it and add 32*.

Thats a rough estimate.

Honestly, youll get the best performance out of a compressed air tank.

Compressed air is your best bet.

What type of tank can i fill compressed air into? Co2 tank or Nitrogen tank? Because on the internet, i didn't find and Compressed air tanks, i only found 'nitro' and 'Co2.'

Nitro and compressed air are the same thing. The only thing you have to really watch out for is if it is a high pressure output or low pressure output tank.
