In general, no, there are no paintball guns that don't need CO2 or HPA or the like. You need some kind of compressed gas to propel the paintball and operate the mechanism that loads the next round. There are choices to be made, but all the guns operate on compressed gas of some kind. It takes energy to propel that paintball at a target, and the energy must come from somewhere. In conventional weapons, chemical energy in the powder superheats the gases of combustion, and blam! In a paintball gun, the compressor that compresses the gas into the tanks provides the energy to propel the paintball. This is the simple physics of it. Ask yourself where the energy will come from if the gun does not use compressed gas. There are performance issues that might arise with different gases. And there might be some gases or gas mixtures that are none too kind on the gun parts, depending on whose version of the facts you believe. In any case, the gas will have to be free of any particles or debris, or of any moisture. And you already know why.

What co2 pellet guns shoot rubber balls?

First, Pellet guns don't shoot rubber balls, they just shoot pellets. But I know what you are asking. I believe you are asking about RAM (Real Action Markers) paintball guns. These guns shoot a .43 caliber paintball or Rubber ball, not the much larger .68 caliber paintball that is associated with Paintball games. RAM guns are used for training by the police and other agencies. They feel just like a real firearm and even have blowback when fired. Umarex co carries a line of RAM guns. See the link below.
