can i use compressed air in the co2 tank?

no. co2 tank for co2 only. hpa tanks are used for compressed (high-pressure) air. dangerous otherwise.

When we went to the paintball field, we actually switched out the CO2 tank for a compressed air tank. We found it is much easier and less expensive to use compressed air vs CO2. I realized this doesn't completely answer your question, but may be an alternative to CO2.

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

No, for that, you need a regulator with a threaded fitting on it. This is a type 870 compression fitting, and is not compatible. Check with your oxygen supplier for the correct regulator.

Probably not good for it - that CO2 wants to go somewhere. You could put a T-valve on the line to cut off the supply to the tank and redirect it to outside the tank. It functions just like a very low-power air bubbler.

yes, you can and should release any left over pressure before storing - it does not have a seperate valve to release the air pressure - it is done with the closing/opening handle

At least in the US, there are TSA rules on bringing compressed gas cylinders.. it doesn't just need to be empty, it needs to have the valve head completely removed so the inside of the tank can be examined visually.http://www.tsa.gov/traveler-information/compressed-gas-cylinders

You take the back of the handle off and unscrew the device that compresses the co2 cartridge. That should work.

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.

I don't think so. This is made to be used with the CO2 being discharged underwater. Without the pressure of the water, the canisters will empty in less than a day.

Yes. However I wouldn't use standard airline tubing. Assuming this is for CO2, the gas will deteriorate the rubber tubing over time. It can be used temporarily. Best to go with CO2 tubing for longevity.

Yes, you just reduce the air pressure. Adjust it with the air compressor regulator.

It should all tanks fit unless on gun or Manuel of gun says does not accept co2 then it will be air tank only

It comes with a 20 oz co2 tank, but I would recommend upgrading to compressed air.

No.The small tank will not give you enough air.This compressor is only good for inflating tires.

This gun works great on co2, that is all I have run threw it. I'm new to paintball stuff and this was a gun for my son. I would think compressed air would function just as well being the same psi.

look at AQUATEK they have an adapter for a standard CO2 regulator. I bought the mini AQUATEK CO2 regulator and it fits on the 20oz paintball tank with no adapter.
