CO2, stored in the tank is highly pressurized. The paintball being shot is caused by it being pushed out by the rapidly expanding gas. CO2 also cycles and reloads the next paintball.

you need Co2 to fire any paintball gun, it is what physically moves the ball out of the barrel.
Co2 (or sometimes High Pressure air) is what operates the paintball gun. The compressed Co2 is what physically moves the paintball out of the barrel as it expands. It is also what resets the mechanical parts on semi-automatic paintball guns. Without Co2 you cannot operate a paintball gun.
