Ive seen people used compressed air and co2 at the field and the feild also fills up HPA tanks, etc.

Maybe you should do a more broader search like using Google.

comp air, nitro, mostly all tanks are filled with comp air and nirtogen, thats why the correct name is HPA (high pressure air), comp air is more like the air we breath, where nirto is pure nitrogen gas, in the past tanks were filled with all nirto, yet that be came every expensive

so dont think that u can hook ur HPA tank up to a car for an extra bost of power,

btw i use CO2 and HPA

I use both, but co2 only as a back up because it sucks compared to HPA.

There was a paintball place in town that filled HPA, but they went out of business.  The only other paintball store here has C02.  The closest place to fill HPA is in Pinckney, MI and that's a 90 round trip for me.  C02 is my only alternative.

nitro and comp air are just about the same thing, i use comp air, nirtogen tanks can be filled w/ compressed air, and i dont think any1 uses anything else besides co2 nitro and comp air.

Regular air is mostly nitrogen anyway, so it makes little difference. If you can't find a store to refill your hpa tank, get yourself a scuba tank and fill station. The price for both should be less than what you would pay for a good quality 68 4500 fibre hpa tank.

A scuba tank will give you fifty or so fills, so even if it is a little trouble to get it refilled, at least you won't have to do it very often. Most places that fill scuba tanks require you to be a certified diver, even if you aren't using the tank for diving. Either take a class and get certified, or find a friend who already is. Scuba tank refills cost about $3.

For I will wander to and fro,
I'll go where I no one do know,
