| I was just thinking about my summer at my friends field (1 speedball and some woods) about filling tanks and i thought why can't the tanks fill themselves! you would only need one tank then and it would have a built in compressor mini of course! it would cost around 260.00 but it would last along time. let me know wad ya thinke.lol |

so ur saying add a "mini" air compressor 2 an hpa tank? the prob is that an air compressor (speciallly a mini one) cant fill to a high enough psi for the tanks (unless u can find an air compressor that fills at least up to 3500 psi) nice try though ------------- http://www.freewebs.com/paintball_things - novice paintball help (If you own a tippy and your new to paintball, this site may help) Jesus is my friend DO NOT say"sniper"here! |

Lets see if I can remember all the reasons we figured out why this wouldnt work the last time a thread like this came up. 1. A small enough compressor wouldnt have enough psi |

you could just have a removable air compressor so when ur standing on the side lines u could slap it on and fill it up while u wait -------------

Well, for one thing, the big air compressors like at SEARs only put about 300PSI TOPS! And you want a MINI one! That's crazy! ------------- Founder of the "Forumers Against the Ugly Woman Sigs" also known as FAUWS. |

Yeah, this idea has been thrown around "a few" times before. It won't work.

Actually this is a pretty bad idea. Until they can create a powerful enough, small enough compressor system, it will not happen. High pressure storage tanks are the most efficient use of air power to weight right now. ------------- Which falls faster, a lead ball or your IQ after reading some of these posts? http://www.pennstatepaintball.com" rel="nofollow - PSU Paintball |

Toby15custom, you handle criticism/humor at your own expense very well. You demonstrated maturity by just joining in the fun as opposed to throwing a screaming, balled-up-fists, jumping up and down, tantrum flamefest like so many others do. Good job! -------------

^Yep. It was a good idea, but it wasn't thought out long
enough. I don't blame you for that though. It's a
complicated subject.
