Paintball Tank Information

Action center paintball recommends that you use compressed air on all paintball Markers there is no exception to that rule but it is still personal preference as some paintball player may not have easy access to HPA air Because compressed air is much more consistent and reduces the wear on the internals of your paintball Marker. We have the cheapest price on aluminum 48/3000 compressed air tanks so for just a few dollars more you can get a hpa tank . You will get a few less shots off of a 48/3000 tank compared to 20 oz co2 tank, but you still typically will get 500+ shots which is enough for most paintball games we use this exclusivly on our paintball field.

Frequently asked HPA paintball Tank questions

Q - Are Carbon fiber tanks worth the extra $100?

A - in our opinion yes, the 4500PSI HPA tanks will way roughly half of an aluminum tank making your paintball Marker much lighter and more maneuverable. Also they hold 4500 PSI instead of 3000 allowing you to get a significant shot increase out of a tank fill.

Q - What do the different numbers on the tank titles mean? 48,68,3000,4500, etc?

A - The first number is the size of the tank in volume in cubic inches. The larger the number, the more air it will hold, . The second number 3000 or 4500 refer to the PSI pounds per square inch the the Hpa paintball tank will hold.

Q - I have a $20 co2 tank, why I need to spend more on a compressed air tank?

A - HPA tank will give you a much more consistent shot. Co2 is in liquid form in your tank and turns to a gas before entering your Marker. This causes very inconsistent shots and and is very harsh on the internals of your paintball Marker. Also CO2 gets very cold as you shoot. If you are playing in temperatures below 50 degress you may have serious issues with your Marker freezing up and shooting snow out the barrel. Compressed air can also be filled from a scuba tank with an expensive scuba fill adapter. You no longer need a bunch of co2 tanks for a day of woodsball play. You'll be able to fill your tank all day from a scuba tank.

Q - I live outside of the US, can I use tanks I buy from you in my country?

A - You will need to do a little research on your end for this. All of our paintball air tanks have a DOT Department of Transportation certification stamp. For Canada, you will need to make sure the tank has a TC or transportation Canada stamp. For most of Europe, you will need a Pi certification.

Q - Do I need a high or low pressure air tank?

A - High pressure HPA tanks(750-850PSI) will work with all Markers, unless your paintball Markers manual specifically require a low pressure tank(3-500PSI), we do not recommend purchasing one. Even most Markers that suggest a low pressure tank, you will not notice a performance difference by using a high pressure tank.
