Trying to fill CO2 tank with HPA = bad things...

A decent used HPA tank shouldn't cost too much, and why are you tired of your CO2? I honestly love how many shots I can get out of a small tank.

how far away is the nearest air compressor that can fill to 3000-4500 psi?

You're right. Filling a CO2 tank with HPA will create an explosion (I want to watch)!!

You can buy steel HPa tanks for around $70 on www.paintballgear.com. The only thing is that they are extremely heavy. Carbon fiber HPA tanks are more expensive, but they are EXTREMELY light.

While on the subject of CO2 and compressed air. I think its better to go HPA anyways because fields around here are starting to phase out CO2. I know of one indoor field that uses HPA tanks on their rentals and does not fill CO2 outside of their pro shop. Shop hours are during the day and open play, for the most part, is in the afternoon. Anyone else notice changes in their local fields?

nope, but i have noticed a trend of upping dead/dying threads. please check the post date before yours, if it is over a week then let it die.

Your right I should just start a whole new thread and then be told to read the old threads.

Why does it matter anyways? One week is not that old and if I were researching things I would rather read one long post over several short posts. I can understand your complaint if I were on here questioning why no one has replied to my remark on an old thread but instead I simply made a comment that could be replied to or not. This forum is for researching and learning, meaning that old posts are read all the time. If youve read the post before than dont worry about it and move on.

you can read all you want, but 9/10's of the forumers don't like it when people up dead threads, and it is infraction material to my knowledge.
