Paintball Tank?
Hey guys, I have been thinking about how to make it easier to fill my pneumatic gun. Anyway, my question is, how would you go about connecting a paintball tank to a pneumatic gun? (Not actually ATTACHED, but able to be connected and disconnected just to fill the chamber) BTW, my current fill valve is a schrader valve (probably not a great choice, I know) Any advice/help would be greatly appreciated.

glad to hear you can help me out. So I happen to be lucky enough to be in possession of a large air tank (used for an oxy/acetlyne welder) and I thought I could use that to fill up a paintball tank with air. I just need to figure out how to get air into the paintball tank, then out of it into the gun.

I have neither! I'm talking about the whole setup, reg, fill attachment, tank.
That's a really nice, neat gun by the way.

well depending on the size, the tank will cost you $15-$85 USD small 9 oz paintball tanks cost about $15 around my house. Most 5 lb Co2 tanks will cost about $75-$85 unless you can find them used. anything bigger, and it gets really expensive.
A decent regulator will cost about $45-$95 online. im not sure about in stores. Palmer regs are considered the best and cost the most.
You will probably have to buy a thread converter attachment to use NPT fittings.
hose and fittings are probably another $25-$30.
Im not really sure about the rest.
Dont quote me on any of these prices as they can vary. This is just what i have seen.

The Palmer regs are good. I use the SIDELINE STABILIZER from them. If you use a quick connect FILL NIPPLE, not just the regular nipple, it will conatin the air for you is you disconnect the hose line(but you would need to bleed it first)
