I was wanting to bulit or find a HPA system. I know they make them for a lot of cash but is there a affordable way to have a "home kit"? just to fill my tanks nothing super special. What are my options? where can i get these parts and i am sure i am not the only store owner who has asked the same question, how much would this set up cost??
Thanks

uhh, this isnt exactly the best area of paintball to try to make a cheaper version. You mess up doing this and you could die. Unless you know exactly what you are doing, which you probably don't since your asking for what parts you would need, I would try to save money in soemthing else. You could buy scuba tanks and a fill station, but buying parts and making your own stuff isnt the best idea...
If by build you mean build your own high pressure 5000psi capable compressor, then forget it, unless you're a genious in fluid power, know how to build compressors, and have a full machine shop and all the materials which will cost you thousands of dollars, then you might be able to build a compressor without blowing your self up. Otherwise you're gonna have to buy your own compressor (very expensive) or you can get scuba tanks from the local dive shop or very large hpa tanks from your local industrial gas and or welding equipment supplier. If you get the tanks you then buy a fill station and fill your pball tank from the large tanks you have.
