Yes! In fact it is recommended to use High Pressure Air (aka nitrogen). You must buy a HPA tank (with the correct pressure, depending on your gun) to use. You cannot simply fill co2 with HPA or vice versa an new tank is needed.

Yes, however the other way around can jam a gun. If you are using a purely mechanical gun, make sure to get a 4500 psi or higher tank. Also "nitrous" is not what is used, as nitrous is N2O where as compressed air is just N2.

No, but they must use a propellant. The only other choice is High Pressure Air also know as: HPA, Air, Nitro or Nitrogen.

Which paintball tank is safer CO2 or nitrogen?

There is not 100% safe air unless it is 100% empty. Nitrogen i would think would be more safer due to the gauges, and the carbon fibers spun into most (depending on the tank). Though, keep in mind, nitrogen is $100+ more expensive then CO2

Are nitrogen paintball tanks refillable?

High pressure air, and all air for that matter, is about 78 percent nitrogen, so it is nicknamed a "nitrogen tank" . So a HPA tank is supposed to be filled with "nitrogen" which is really just air.
