quick question

[Paradox313]

i was watching inside paintball
and they said not to put c02 in a hpa tank or put hpa in a c02 tank

I was thinking of buying a adapter for my dads air compressor so i can put compressed air into my c02 tank

is this bad and should i buy one of these for my stock 05 ACS

ps and yes i do know about the velocity spikes but not so much

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You should not put compressed air in a Co2 tank. Period. Stop, put the internet down, get an ice pack and go lie down.

Co2 tanks were only designed for about 1500 MAX spiked pressure of Co2 liquid and gas, and that's only for a little bit. IF it were even possible to get an adapter for your dad's compresser, and you were actually able to fill to 1000 psi in that Co2 tank, you wouldn't get many shots anyways from it anyway. That is, IF the burst disc doesn't blow and you don't end up killing someone with it.

If you're desperate for compressed air, you should buy that tank or any other HPA tank, but for Christ's sake, don't fill your Co2 with CA!!!!!

thats why i asked first
so
using an adapter for the air compressor can allow me to use a HPA tank for my marker right

[vikingshadow]

Nope. HPA tanks fill to a pressure of 3000, 4500 and 5000 psi. There's no home compressor, even with an adapter, that can fill to those pressures. You have to get a scuba tank compressor, or a compressor like the fire stations have, or even a paintball compressor for those kind of fills.

Got about 1500.00-5000.00 in your pocket? Because that's what they run! If so, wanna be friends? LOL!

this is why......

Well, what kinda air compressor is it? Can it output up to the 3000 psi of the tank you linked to?

I'd doubt hes got an air compresor cpapble of that, but maybe, if so, you'd be lucky...

At least fiber wrapped tanks don't explode...

i wouldn't go 4 that tank because that has about as much shots as a 9 ounce and 9 ounces only have approxometaly 425 shots

Well thats what someone whos been playing for like 5 years told me. I'll go yell at him...

[ooglieboogliebob]

actually the shotcount fluctuates .. but it's probably around the 480 range ... 10 * CI for 3000psi tanks
15 * CI for 4500psi tanks
But that's just an approximate thing ...

Go for the 72/3k tank .. 720 shots ... and just 64 dollars ... pretty cheap i might havta say .. check AVI
