If you use a compressed air tank instead if Co2 can you use your own air compressor to fill it or do you have to go to a store or something?

No, consumer compressors run too low. Spend $5,000 and you can buy a compressor that puts out 3,000.

Just got to your local pro shop.

o I just bought a 98 custom and it can use compressed air, how many PSIs are needed to fill it? Using the scuba tank is just a waste 200 for the tank and 50 for the adapter mine as well just stick with Co2

^^^ Wow.  You really are new to this.  Rather than making fun of you for stuff you don't know but will eventually learn I am going to recommend that you read this post before asking more questions.  (Actually, it wouldn't hurt to browse all of the "stickied" threads.)

1. You buy an HPA tank, you dont fill the 98.

2. 3000 PSI. You cant use a bike pump or a regular compressor.

3. HPA is better than CO2.
