I'm thinking about buying a new tank and i'm woindering which to get? Ive relied on co2 forever but it would be easier seening as i have an air compressor to own a compressed air tank. Which should i get?

Does your air compressor have the ability to fill to 3000psi? Is it portable? Having a compressor at your home isnt going to do you any good at a field an hour away.

Than......... duh.
 As far as brands, metal or Carbon Fiber, read through the forums. There are tons of threads on this subject. Probably 2-3 per page in the Upgrades and Customizing, Which is Best, and New Players. Pretty common question. Edited by oldpbnoob - 09 April 2009 at 7:34pm |

In general, for a comparable sized tank, yes.

Go HPA. I recently switched and will not go back to CO2. Plus alot of the fields i have been going to have do it yourself air fill stations. Play a game or two.....go fill up and so on. True....you could get more shots with CO2....but then again...if air is plentiful and free.....then why not. Plus no more freeze up during rapid fire.

Really? You have an air compressor in your home that can fill past 3000psi? I seriously doubt that. Most ordinary air compressors are rated for around 150-200psi. Paintball fields use heavy-duty compressors or a booster to achieve that kind of psi. If you do, more power to you. Just make sure youre using 3000+ psi rated hoses and fittings and adapters and everything else. You really dont want to see what a 3000psi blowout will do to people or houses or just about anything else. |
