Question about CO2 tanks
The last time i played at the only commercial field near where i live, the rental guns they gave us had a CO2 tank that already had a guage on it that told you how much air was already inside the tank. Also attached to the tank was a little attachment near the top where you could just slip on the air hose and fill it up. Do all CO2 tanks come with this feature? And if they dont, how much would a type like that cost?

It all depends on the marker you are using and the availablity of compressed air or nitrogen. C02 is cheap and availabe almost anywhere including welding shops. With my old spyder I could get between 1200 to 1500 rounds between fill ups. Spyders and Tippmanns work excellent with C02 where the pnumatic markers like Intimidators, Matrix, or Inverts need Comp Air or nitrogen. The one drawback to C02 is that it is greatly affected buy temperature, causing velocity spikes and dips.

Yep. CO2 tanks don't have a filler on them. They get screwd into the adapter and filled. HPA tanks have a hose attached to them on that filler that was sticking out of the side of the tank. Plus, most CO2 tanks don't have gauges on them. It costs a lot to put a gauge on a CO2 tank, and is pointless.
