HPA stants for 'High Pressure Air'. They are becoming the new standard in paintball propellants--replacing Co2. They are usually steel, or carbon fiber wrapped bottles that can hold air pressures from 3000psi to 4500psi. This air is the regulated down to 200-800psi so it can be used in your paintball gun. This is the differences between 'high and low pressure' HPA tanks..the regulated output from the tank.
When you say air tanks, I believe you mean compressed air? If so, then yes, it can be used with exceptions to a select few of paintball markers that use mini CO2 tanks. This should not be confused with CO2, in many cases CO2 can/will ruin a high end marker because it is basically a liquid that can freeze the internals of your marker.
just fyi those mini so2 tanks are called cartridges, there are generally 9 and 12g versions of them, also there were a few markers back in the day that REQUIRE co2 and will not work off of HPA but your chances of getting one of these markers are very very slim
if your talking about a garage air compressor there is no adapter, (or more accurately even if there is one it wouldn't work) a garage compressor puts out around 150-200 psi at most, a HPA tank needs 3,000-4,500 psi. not only that but the garage compressor uses wet dirty air, something you do not want going through your marker. If you are looking to have a fill at home you can get a Scuba tank and a fill station for it. fill the scuba tank at your local dive shop and then you can fill off of it when you are at home
it depends, are you looking for co2 or hpa. co2 has cheaper tanks. the problem with co2 tho is when being used it will become colder and the temperature change will cause changes in velocity or distance of the shot. hpa is a very good choice as many parks use this on there markers. it keeps a stable velocity but tanks can be a little more expensive. Another way of choosing is the quality of your marker. i dont mean to put your equipment down for all markers are reliable. if you are using a marker you payed over $300 i highly suggest getting hpa. tippmann 98s use co2 very well but what ever is going to be in you price range is what will limit you. i cant really answer your question fully but i hope that this will give you an idea on what you need.
(co2= carbon dioxide) (hpa= high pressure air, same stuff in a scuba tank)
co2 tanks are anywhere from $10-$35 and HPA tanks anywhere from $50-$200. If you go with HPA I would highly suggest getting a 4500psi tank, they are more expensive but hold a lot more air
Well that could either mean the CO2 tanks or the HPA tanks. Both are used as a propellant for the marker.
they're things that you put paintballs in that you use for ammunition. they always come on harnesses that are around your waist. they can hold 80 to 140 paintballs, from what I've seen

What part keeps your air tank on a paintball gun?
the ASA (air source adapter)
What is a Paintball vertical adapter?
A vertical adapter is what connects the air from the ASA (Air Source Adapter) to the proper places (the valve or any other parts controlled by air) This is where you can put a gas through grip, expansion chamber, regulator or anything that has the standard ASA threads and is attached to the ASA (horizontal/tank adapter)
Is it ok to use an electronic air pump to fill an HPA paintball air tank?
No! That would be very very bad! There is no place to put it in and you could blow out the top of your tank.
What propels a paintball?
A compressed C02 tank or High Pressure Air tank propels the paintball.
Who manufactures craftsman air compressors?
I have three Craftsman air compressors, and on all three, the tank is marked with DeVilbiss. I can't say who manufactures the COMPRESSOR portion, but the TANK comes from DeVilbiss, who also does make compressors.
Where do remote coils for paintball guns attach to on the paintball gun?
Where the air tank or co2 tank normally attaches
What is the asa on a paintball gun?
the ASA or Air Source Adapter is the part that connects the Co2/CPA tank to the gun, usually via macroline, and is usually found on the bottom of the grip. an on/off ASA is one that can be turned on and off, to make changing tanks easier.
How do you tell how much your paintball tank holds?
if you're talking about the air tank, it should say on the side of the tank.
What type of compressors do you service?
Lubricated Screw Air Compressors Oil Free Screw Air Compressors Reciprocating Air Compressors Portable Air Compressors High-pressure compressors Medical Air Compressors Compressed Air Dryers Vacuum Pumps Compressed Air Treatment
What is the size or measurement of a standard paintball air source adapter?
if you are talking about the threads they are 1/2" NPT
Is HPA air tank rechargeable?
Yes! The purpose of an Air tank is so that you can refill it. Almost any Paintball Field or store can fill your tank.
Is there a difference in a scuba tank and a paintball tank?
Yes the main difference is a SCUBA tank is used for high pressure breathing air (3200-5000 PSI). A paintball tank has a lower PSI rating and is also measured in ounces not PSI. Even though most people use a breathing air compressor to fill paintball tanks.
