Anybody knows what type of quick connection fitting does a paintball tank uses? I have a paintball tank with a regulator and a remote line with a quick connection on it, now I need another quick connection to connect the remote line to my gun. Thx

This one doesn't look like it - but sometimes they are proprietary machined parts. At the price - if it's compatible it's hard to beat.

3/32 or 1/8 E6011 rod should do. 6011 is kinda the jack of all trades for dirty steel. Depending on the thickness of your material you'll have to choose the diameter of the welding rods - this you did not specify.

Speak In Ingrish! lol Jk, but really - a lot of standards were based off the imperial system when it comes to welding, so your 2.5mm rods would equate to the 3/32 rods we have here. For 2cm, which is again, roughly 3/4 of an inch - a 3/32 rod for that would be typically considered undersized. Will it work? Yes it could be made to work if your just concerned about getting part A to stick to part B. For a proper weld penetration, you'd most likely want something north of 1/8" so you can flow more current though it before it hits its melting point, allowing for more weld penetration.

I think all the paintball stuff has the same threads, 1/8". I don't think there is such a thing as 1/4" paintball thread.

Nope, not unless you go back to the 90's and mayyyybe early 2000's era of paintball, but it's more likely you'd find that in the 90's which means you wont find it now.
