its not very smart, co2 can corrode the walla of a tank and therefor making it dangerous to put hpa into it, and i am not sure but co2 tanks are only 3k psi tanks, but anyways, its not a good idea

yeah it is you send 80 dollars to a company like 888 paintball and they well send you a 47 30

just kidding but i have not heard of that becasue a co2 bottle can only like hold like a 1000 psi or something that is why say to keep them in the shade

Most CO2 tanks I have seen were rated for 1800 psi.

here the official info from DOT:
a CO2 tank should never be filled above its rated capacity, and for most, a "3-AL-XXXX" it is 1800psi. so first off, you would only get 1800psi in the tank as opposed to 3k or 4.5k.

second, Co2 tanks should never be filled with N2 and N2 tanks should never be filled with Co2. they were ment to hold what they hold, dont try screwing them up and filling them with the wrong stuff



and practially,
youd need to buy a reg for the 20oz co2 tank, so $30 for the tank, $50 for the reg = $80. stores sell N2 tanks for that low. recomend that you buy a N2 tank

I have a 68ci. Co2 tank. It's just a 3000psi fiber wrapped bottle with a Smart Parts on/off and anti-siph tube on it.
