Question

Can you use a home compressor to charge constant air tanks for paintball guns??"

Answer 1

Most paintball markers use Co2 and not compressed air....so it wont work for that kind.  Ive been out of the loop, so I dont know if they have markers that use compressed air, but doesnt sound likely to me.

Answer 2

no u need co2 gas and u could blow ur self up  

Answer 3

Most likely no. Your general home compressor doesn't have a high enough output to pressure a Constant air tank**as you mean Nitro HPA fiberglass or steel tank right** Those tank ranges anywhere for 3000 to 5000psi. What you will need to get a booster system for your compressor.  It may run you anywhere $1200.00 to $25,000.00...

You're better off doing what I do... Get yourself a Scuba Tank and a fill yoke and you're good to go.



PS... All paintball guns work on compress air. Plus compress air is cleaner for you gun and doesn't freeze in the winter.  Paintball gun have operating PSI anywhere for 250 psi to max 800psi. A standard C02 has a output of 700 to 800psi unregulated. There for you get fluxs in you shots. A Nitro/ HPA**(High Pressure Air)** is regulated at 800psi meaning more consistent shot.
