Ok so you want to fill a paintball tank with air at home? Well with this you can fill your air or co2 tank to about 400 psi with a shock pump - with many pumps or to about 120 psi with a tyre pump.
Cost? About £3.50
What you need:
A tubeless tyre valve (Clamp in shrader)
A circle of rubber with a hole in the middle - i cut mine out of 3mm neoprene and it is 18mm wide
And one 1/2 BSP to 1/4 BSP reducer
Ok so first of all take your nut and washer off of the valve
Put the valve into the reducer from the 1/2" end
Place the washer on the WRONG way around
Put nut on and tighten it up
Place ruber disk in the end of the reducer
Screw onto shock pump
And your done
Here is a co2 tank at 150psi
Thanks for looking...
