What is the paintball tank adapter for air compressors?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

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

Answer 3

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

Answer 4

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

Answer 5

Well that could either mean the CO2 tanks or the HPA tanks. Both are used as a propellant for the marker.

Answer 6

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

Answer 7

Because you need something to propel the paintballs.

Answer 8

No, the scuba apparatus will not fit a threaded tank.

Answer 9

Carbon fiber Compressed air tank.
