Question: Can Paintball Guns Use Compressed Air?
Answer: Paintball guns can definitely shoot with compressed air with a compressed air tank designed for paintball that screws onto a gun just like a CO2 tank. Compressed air is generally more consistent and reliable than CO2 but it is more difficult to fill as it must be filled with a high-powered compressor that is usually only available at paintball shops and some scuba stores. These tanks, depending on the model, can be filled from 3000 psi up to 50000 psi while a shop compressor typically maxes out at less than 200 psi.
