Yeah a HPA tank, they make the gun shoot much more consistently and the o-rings won't freeze up.
O look, there's nothing here!

As Danieljk said, to used compressed air with your Tippmann just buy, have it filled and screw on an HPA tank.(high pressure air tank)

Now if you want to use the air from a compressor, there is no way. Your marker, unmodified, requires 800-850 psi. The usual output of a shop compressor is only about 120-150 psi

i think he wants some sort of adaptor to make the tippmann run on air...

any tippmann can run on co2 or air out of the box.

O yeah you don't need any adapter.  You could get a regulator if you want to stick w/ co2 so you get more consistent shots like you would w/ compressed air(HPA)

Uhh, not sure but i think if you're getting that... you'd have to change some things on your gun b/c it LOOKS like the tank has no threadings and is connected directly to somethiung that connects it under your trigger frame....

I've got the "Air America" 47/3000 system that works fine w/ my 98c.
O look, there's nothing here!
