How many Square inches does a shop compressor push per second?

how much PSI does it take to push the ball down the barrel to get 300+ fps? NOT how much PSI does the gun run at.

1 paintball gun package=$150
1 case of paint=$50
air & entry fee=$15
lighting up newbies all day long= Priceless

1. Depends on the pressure it's outputting and the power of the compressor.

2. Same thing? Or very similar.

no really... how many psi does it take to push the ball down the barrel at 300+ fps? I know I can blow the ball down the barrel with my lungs but its not going 300 fps.

 which gun can run the lowest psi? and at what psi?

No really... Where do you think that 800 psi you're putting into the gun is going?

Some guns can shoot a paintball at 300fps at 200-300 psi, maybe lower. It just depends on what gun you have.
