OK, so I went and bought a gun (98 custom) and then a few add-ons (expansion chamber, flatline...) and also a few extra tanks (20 0z) then go to my buddies house to shoot his victim ass. Upon arrival I find my buddy and his friends filling their tanks off of a scuba tank filled with air.
My question, after all the rambling, is it ok to use air with a tank meant for CO2? Do I need to add anything to my gun to use air? Is there any difference in air and co2? (besides 1 carbon and 1 oxygen)

Do not fill your 20 oz from a scuba tank !

Co2 bottles do not carry a high enough pressure rating. the burst disc will blow when you are filling.

If you want a cheap option for air, buy a preset screw in air system, otherwise, stick to co2.

well what the guy before me said is pretty much what u do my opinion i would stick 2 co2 i like it way more but if u wanted air buy a compressed air tank it get some of that stuff the tank maybe pricey about $200-$300 but its worth it cuz it only costs like $1.00 2 fill
