: ok so i can't fill my CO2 tank with an air compressor, altho i dont see why, but can i fill a low pressure bottle with it and then use the low pressure bottle to run the gun. or basiclly what set up if any will let me use my air compressure to fill a tank?
Because there's not enough pressure from a normal compressor to run most paintguns, even for one shot. Most blow-back markers (Spyders, Tippmanns, etc) require 700-800psi input to work. Your compressor runs ~120psi...
Clear now?
