Way OT..refilling paintball gun c02 canisters??

[LSchafroth]

My son is getting a new Paintball gun for his birthday this weekend.
I got a new Triad with the big hopper that has the agitator so the balls do not get stuck. Got him a mask and gear and a carrying case.

Now, the real question. Can I use my Air Compressor to refill the C02 canisters? Will compressed air work well at all? Just curious if there is a way to take advantage of teh compressor I already have.

Thanks!

PS Found a box of 500 balls for $9.95. Is that a good price or should I keep looking?

Maybe you should try posting your question there.

You may get a better response

Filling up CO2 has minimal cost anyway, for me its around 2-3bucks to fill up my 12oz tank. Chances are you have a 20oz so I imagine it to be about 3-4 bucks for you. These fill ups should last you 1 or 2 days of constant play depending on how much paint you lay.

No no no, your aircompressor can't get anywhere near the PSI required

I got a 9oz filled for $1.32.

He's shot 500 balls and the tank is still going. the semi-auto part is kind of fun, but man you go through them quick.

Had one backfire and now the hopper is full of gooo. It has the part that stirs the balls so they don't get stuck. It mixed the balls and the goo just fine.

Thanks for the info everyone.....

PS have to get one for myself now.
