If you meant "why do you need any gas tank for Paintball": the expanding c02 or hpa is what pushes the ball out of the barrel at high speeds and can be used in reseting the gun.
If you meant "why you need a C02 tank specifically":
you dont need a co2 tank to play paintball. their is compresed air tankes available. most electrical guns must run on air enless you want to be doing maintenance on the gun after every game and replace parts after 5 games. most non electrical guns also can be ran on air but is capable of runing on co2 but air would keep your gun in better condition.
You need co2 or compressed air(nitrogen and compressed air are the same thing) so the paintball can fly out of the barrel and to re cock your gun automatically.
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.
The C02 containers hold compressed gas which releases in small amounts to propel the paintball.
The air is the propellent, it pushes piston that pushes the ball out of the barrel.
It depends where it is spraying from. The most probably cause is a faulty or worn o ring on the tank.
Because C02 is cheap and can be stored in high pressure in a liquid state. Some paintball markers use HPA, or compressed air.

Why do you need co2 for a paintball gun?
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.
Can you use the same co2 tank for paintball and sodamaker?
No, paintball co2 is much higher pressure.
Does the jt cybird paintball gun work without a co2 tank?
No paintball gun will work without a CO2 tank or other propellant tank. without Co2 there is nothing to push the ball out of the barrel.
Where do remote coils for paintball guns attach to on the paintball gun?
Where the air tank or co2 tank normally attaches
Do you ever need to reload co2 gas in paintball?
Yes, every few games, you will have to refill the tank, depending on the size. Without it, there is nothing to propel the paintball.
