Can I use air for this gun instead of CO2? can I use the tank in the package for Air?

No the tank can only be used for co2. If you want to use air you will need to purchase a hpa tank.

Yes u can use air instead of co2 and no u can't use the tank in the package for air

That's what I use it for. At the bottom of mine there is a snap in plastic adapter that the CO2 canister fits into. With this canister I have to remove that and just let the tank hang. But it works just fine.

Dont buy this. Buy a tippman as a beginninger gun. Or talk to people at your local paintball field before purchasing. The co2 ships empty.

Yes you can use any type of tank including guerilla tank . Personally I wouldnt recomend this gun, when i recieved it i used it and it when wrong and it stopped working. It jams a lot

This gun works great on co2, that is all I have run threw it. I'm new to paintball stuff and this was a gun for my son. I would think compressed air would function just as well being the same psi.

It uses co2 you have it filled at a sporting goods store . Or you can use High pressure air with a special tank used for paintball.

After doing some research I discovered that CO2 in a sealed container only produces 60.4 Pounds per Square Inch (PSI) at 69.9 degrees F. At 70 degrees F it produces 852.8 PSI. This information was provided by Pyramyd Air Guns. I warmed my CO2 cartridges before inserting them in the Steel Force. The gun worked perfect. I will try it again tomorrow.

No you can't use paintball canisters. Don't buy this - you will regret it. Buy the regulator with the solenoid for paintball canisters and get a 24oz paintball canister. You can get both for around $100. Refills are only about $4.

Yes No Problem.. I used a 3/8 air gun and it doesn't faze it. Also it doesn't run all the time. I can blow myself off with the air hose with out it coming on and whe it does, It's run time is short. I'm used to 60-120 gallons.. This thing really surprises me..

Yes, you will need compressed air or nitrogen. CO2 will damage the marker. To fire in burst/full-auto you'll need an electronic hopper. You can probably use the marker in semi-auto with a gravity feed hopper.

Put some light gun oil on the co2 cartridge seal before installing this will provide a better seal. Look at the extra products offered on Amazon for bb and pellet gun. Use only one drop on the seal!

Honestly, you can use either. I use CO2 because it is the most common used at the fields I go to. Each has it's advantages, such as cost of the bottles differ and the cost of filling the bottles will differ, but these are things you should check with the local vendors. CO2 is more prone to freeze up if you fire too fast, but has more consistent pressure as the bottle is used up. Air doesn't freeze up as much, but as the bottle is used up, the pressure drops off. I believe that you get more shots by volume with CO2 as well.

It will work, But will quickly use up the stored air in the tank. Small projects (which this gun is used for) should be fine.

Yes you can. :) Just be prepared for a good work-out of your arms/back. It will take a long time (many strokes) to fill a paintball tank, but it can be done! It's the reason I bought the air pump to begin with.

Yes it comes with co2 but most places use HPA tanks which you can either trade at a paintball place or buy one here on Amazon and have both

first and foremost, I bet this gun came with a manual, mine did, the co2 goes in the handle, read the manual to find out how to put the co2 in the handle, so you can too.

I have not yet used scuba tanks but I believe that co2 runs at a lower psi than compressed air. So you will be shooting at lower velocities
