How do you refill the tank? Can you use an air compressor? If so, do you need a special adapter?

The Air Ordnance SMG 22 comes with a 20 oz 3000 psi high pressure air (H.P.A.)bottle that can be filled at any paintball shop. You can use a air compressor but you would need one that could push 3000 psi as well as a fill whip for your bottle.(See shoe box compressor for 3000-4500 psi compressor) For Example in my case i Use a 80 cu ft pound aluminum dive cylinder filled to 3000 psi. Which i get filled at my local dive shop for six bucks (prices will vary).Then i fill my own 48 cu in hpa container of the dive cylinder. Max fills is about 8-10 untill you get down to 1000 psi because every time you fill up the amount you get in pressure is less each time but its OK because as long as its between the 800-1000 psi that the gun wants your OK. If your gonna get your own hpa container make sure the output is between the 800-1000 psi or it will result in valve failure and end of gun.(That is advice strait from air ordnance service department manager Garry himself)In summary there are many ways to fill the tank.........You can use HPA Containers filled at a Paintball shop........You can fill your Hpa COntainer from a dive cylinder and get the cylinder filled at a dive shop or fire suppression shop--(Must use K or J valve adapter block for scuba tank as well as a fill whip with 1/8 fittings)......They also sell HPA hand pumps designed to fill PCP or pre-charged pneumatics i.e. Air rifles that push 3000 psi but they are hard work with a pumping force of at least 200 pounds and they cost about 200 dollars...........ANd to conclude if you dont want to count on anybody else you can get THE SHOE BOX COMPRESSOR which is a 3000-4500psi compressor that takes a normal 100psi compressor and pumps for you instead of a hand pump. LOw maintaince,Little work,varriable Pressures But Long Run times and cost about 700 dollars. SO there i know its a lot to take in and your gonna want to do your own research but those are all the options and i hoped this helped.

The gun will use either CO2 or HPA, I'd reccomend buying a cheap HPA system as it will run better. You can refill high pressure air tanks for the gun at a local paintball shop, scuba shop or by using a scuba tank on your own. Ninja paintball makes an adapter for about $35 that attaches to a scuba tank and is rated for 3000 psi.

Well if your using the CO2 tank,you need a co2 filling system. 1- co2 cylinder with educator tube. 1 co2 tank adapter.. And a scale so you dont overfill....You can YouTube.. Filling a CO2 tank.. You will see how it's done..You can go to a paint ball filling store and have your cylinder filled.. You can watch how it's done too..Theirs an art to this stuff.. Safety is allways first..

Regular compressed air will not have enough pressure to operate this gun. The gun will only operate with CO2 or HPA (HPA = scuba or paint ball compressed air) 700 + lbs per square inch.

You can't refill the co2 tank with air you must have it refilled with co2. If you use high pressure air tank it must be refilled with a scuba tank or a high pressure compressor. Can't use an ordinary home or shop compressor.

You can fill it at most sporting goods store. Dick's for $5.. Same as a paintball gun.. Same tank. I bought 2 extra.

It uses co2 you have it filled at a sporting goods store . Or you can use High pressure air with a special tank used for paintball.

i have never attempted to use air compresor just have them filled at the local paintball store

if using CO2 then need to go hobbie shop are Paintball , welding shop any one who supply's CO2... or N2 gas but need different bottle . can be connected directly to a compresser , but not moble , still fun.

No, once filled the tank is under too much pressure. You would need a hose that can handle 800+ psi.

I used an air mattress pump to fill it. The main part of the whale has the round ~1" size opening to fill but the tail has a smaller beach-ball type nozzle, so I needed the pump adapter to fill that part.

You do not need a special adapter. Pretty much, it is a hole about the size of a 50 cent piece that has several small holes in it. There is a diaphram under the hole to keep air from getting out once you blow it in. I use a regular air blower that hooks to my air compressor.

it does not have a air reservoir tank, just a pulsating pump. It is unlikely you can get a constant stream of high pressure air even if you could apply an attachment

This is just a light duty compressor. If you are worried about it not doing what you need it to do then buy the right one the first time. Sure you can add a tank to it down the road. Once again this is a light duty compressor that does not have a very high duty cycle and you will probably burn it up. Look at the higher end units than Air Lift sell. Compressors in those kits are made by Viair.

I run it with a regular compressor. But you might want a holding tank if you are going to use it alot. Its pretty taxing on the smaller compressors.

I don't have any air pumps in my tank. I have salt water fish.if you have saltwater fish you could put one in but its not necessary

yes you will need a hose to hook to a larger tank , i refill my small tank go to co 2 doc .com

I bought a 110 psi compressor with a 2 liter tank. Works like a dream. Make sure to have tight hose connections because they can and will seperate due to the high pressure.

We used an air compressor also. It is a pretty big float for a manual pump but one would work. as said by others, your pump would need a pointed end. This is our second season and just filled a couple days ago. Great for keeping you above water while it's still a little brisk.

We bought a manual foot operated pump. If you have an air compressor, you should be able to use that as well.

This unit does not hookup directly to compressor. It is designed to be put into your air line coming from tank. It has 1/4 intake and output, meaning you need hoses and fittings to accomadate those sizes. For example I have a 120 gallon tank on my compressor which leads to a manifold with 3/8" fittings so I have a reducer on that to get to 1/4 and then I have this filter unit, and then a 1/4 hose leading to the equipment I'm using it for.I don't believe the size of your tank should matter in any way. I'm sure it has a max psi allowed in line before it would break but I doubt you'll have issues with that This unit does not hookup directly to compressor.

pre charged tank has 40 psi of air already in it. reg, you need to put air in it buy using a tie pump or air compressor. there is a fill valve like on the tie of a car on the tank.

Buy a good adapter here and refill your 1lb tanks from a 20 or larger tank. No need for a hose, regulator, filter, or paying $3 a tank. Many places online tell you how to safely do it.

you need to get a bigger compressor. To run those type of air tools I would suggest at least 33 gal for constant pressure.

No, you need a special 3000 psi hand pump, scuba tank, or high pressure air compressor. I use a hand pump.
