You can put CO2 in an HPA tank. I still dont see what the big deal is.

It will kick the crap out of the HPA tanks reg, assuming it does have an internal reg(most do). But you can still run CO2 in a scuba tank if it doesnt have an internal reg.

probably ,, but who would fill it,, and why?? besides i already have a co2 tank and im stepping up to compressed air which is ALOT better,, im trying to be self suffecient kinda like my own field,,so i dont have to drive somehere else and pay a field fee,, all i really have to buy is paintballs

Ya you can but why the hell would you? hes got a compressed air tank, and an impulse, true it will work on co2, but compressed air will work a ton better.


If you're the only one using the tank, ya 2200psi will work fine, youll get a decent amount of fills off of it, and if you only have to drive a mile and a half to there, and 80 miles to another place...the money you save in gas alone going to the firestation would pay for your tank.

Get the tank and get it filled at the station.

Till someone gets hurt, and their parents decide to sue you. Until then, I suppose it would work.

noone will get hurt,, we all use common sense,, plugs and masks, and if someone forgets and takes their mask off and gets one in the face by accident then its their own fault

i say u buy a nitrogen system for your gun. then just find a place that will sell you a nitro tank. it shouldnt be hard. maybe a welding tank will work. then u can put a fill station on it and kill each other.

yes i already tried and it would be much more expensive,, i couldnt find a nitro tank that was more than 2000 psi,, that means i would have to hook up two, then get a custom built fill station with a reg and what not then pay twice as 26 dollars to only use about 13 worth of nitrogen

most fields use one tank and a expensive compressor hooked together to get 300o psi,,,,,, oh and about the recertification,,, the guy at the fire department told me as long as it looks safe he'll keep filling it for me ,,,hahahahaha
