since the angel 4 operates on such a low pressure could you use a compressor instead of a tank?
thanks

My shop compressor only goes to 120psi so it would not be enough.

so you're gonna carry a compressor around?
or a tank that's at 200psi?
if it's a tank at 200 psi you do realize that the main reason for carrying 4500psi is volume to maintain a steady output pressure. Sure you can fill your tank to 200psi at first, but you're not gonna get more than a few shots out of it.

I assumed he meant to play around with in his yard or something with the hose attached. :puzzled:

just put some dirt wheels on the compresor and cart it around....like the back of a vacume.

He's probably talking about messing round at home. With that low of a pressure, you probably won't feed the minireg enough, but you should still be able to cycle the gun. But air out of a compressor will be dirty, so be sure to use an in-line filter.

Using a compressor won't hurt as long as the air is regulated to a decent input pressure before it hits the mini reg. I have used my old dive compressor at home to do this before. It just took a little bit of rigging for proper hoses and fittings, compressor to regulator to gun. Basiclly it's just like using an adjustable air system when done right. It was great for tuning you gun and I never had to worry about how much air I had left in my tank.

You'll just need a really long hose and single feed your balls so you don't get starved for air. :cool:
