If I only want to pack 150-200 psi into this tank can I fill it with a home air compressor?

this tank is designed to hold up to 3000 psi, so cirtainly will hold 150psi inside.. the regulator is designed to output around 800psi by default, adjustable down to 500psi... so I'm not sure how it will behave with less than 200psi to work with... I'm also not sure what you want to do with it... it will NOT properly power a normal paintball gun if it's only 150-200psi internally.

I'm not sure you should call a local paintball shop to ask your question. I usally fill mine up at the park when I play. I don't see them using a air compressor I see them using a tank. Good luck!!!

probably, but it will be dirty air vs the clean air you receive from SCUBA shops. Why not just regulate the output down to 150-200 with a second regulator? There is also a "shoe box" sold that allows you to use a regular shop air compressor to completely fill a high pressure tank.

no, u cant. A home air compressor will not work. need HPA to fill it- paintball shops or scuba tanks

Yes, you should be able to upgrade the air compressor. I don't know for sure about adding a tank but I guess I don't see any reason you couldn't.

It will work well for those purposes, but keep in mind that the tank capacity is 1.5 gal, & therefore the compressor will kick over often at 75 psi or higher if you're constantly blowing air. Not that it can't handle it - It's a workhorse to be sure, but if you don't want the compressor coming on every 2-3 minutes (because it is quiet, but not silent), you might want something with a bigger tank.

Yes you can. If you use an external regulator I also recommend placing an accumulator tank between the regulator and compressor. I use a 70 cu in Bimba tank purchased from a surplus shop for my accumulator. It also keeps the compressor from cycling on as frequently.

you need a compressor with a minimum of a 5 gallon storage tank on it. Its not the pressure but the volume you need.

A large tank helps, but you really want your compressor output to be greater than the tool useage (CFM rating). If the tool takes more than the air compressor makes, sooner or later you will run out of air no matter how big the tank is.

No, even if the conpressor make the enough psi, the tank is way too small to feed the air tool consumption

yes, you need to get a gauge when you fill it, you don't want to overfill your compressor.

You need to get some extra parts for the compressor. Like a filter, scuba tank fill nozzle, and most air compressors don't have enough psi output

You do need a compressor, but a small one will be fine. I have a 1-gallon compressor, which could drive this thing all day. (Not literally, but it has more than enough reserve for the rate at which I'd be stapling.)

Yes, you can fill the bottle from an air compressor if you can control it not to exceed 80 psi.

The Air Ordnance SMG 22 comes with a 20 oz 3000 psi high pressure air (H.P.A.)bottle that can be filled at any paintball shop. You can use a air compressor but you would need one that could push 3000 psi as well as a fill whip for your bottle.(See shoe box compressor for 3000-4500 psi compressor) For Example in my case i Use a 80 cu ft pound aluminum dive cylinder filled to 3000 psi. Which i get filled at my local dive shop for six bucks (prices will vary).Then i fill my own 48 cu in hpa container of the dive cylinder. Max fills is about 8-10 untill you get down to 1000 psi because every time you fill up the amount you get in pressure is less each time but its OK because as long as its between the 800-1000 psi that the gun wants your OK. If your gonna get your own hpa container make sure the output is between the 800-1000 psi or it will result in valve failure and end of gun.(That is advice strait from air ordnance service department manager Garry himself)In summary there are many ways to fill the tank.........You can use HPA Containers filled at a Paintball shop........You can fill your Hpa COntainer from a dive cylinder and get the cylinder filled at a dive shop or fire suppression shop--(Must use K or J valve adapter block for scuba tank as well as a fill whip with 1/8 fittings)......They also sell HPA hand pumps designed to fill PCP or pre-charged pneumatics i.e. Air rifles that push 3000 psi but they are hard work with a pumping force of at least 200 pounds and they cost about 200 dollars...........ANd to conclude if you dont want to count on anybody else you can get THE SHOE BOX COMPRESSOR which is a 3000-4500psi compressor that takes a normal 100psi compressor and pumps for you instead of a hand pump. LOw maintaince,Little work,varriable Pressures But Long Run times and cost about 700 dollars. SO there i know its a lot to take in and your gonna want to do your own research but those are all the options and i hoped this helped.

I run a 150 psi compressor with mine and fill up 35" tires just fine not sure if it would handle 200

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

Yes that compressor can be used for any of ARB's lockers. It is not good for filling tires.

No it requires a fill pressure of 3000 psi. There are compressors called shoebox compressors that would work otherwise get a good hand pump like the hill or plan on buying a scuba tank and having it fillled

The compressor is excellent for any work, painting, sandblasting and I guess for connecting a pneumatic tool bede not have any problems ... the compressor load your tank up to 200 pounds of pressure and has a regulator that gives the ability to deliver this pressure of 200 to 0 lbras.
