"Despite the traditional unavailability of easy refilling of compressed air
tanks, the benefits of converting away from CO2 make a world of difference
to many paintballers. If you are looking for ways to improve the consistency
of your shooting, and the ability to fire rapidly without worrying about
freezing up your marker, then compressed air is the way to go."

"The primary reason not to choose compressed air over CO2 is that it is
often harder to get compressed air tanks filled. The common air compressor,
such as one at a gas station, is usually incapable of achieving a pressure
greater than 350 pounds per square inch (psi). This is well short of the
800-850 psi that is required for most paintball markers to function.
Therefore, special, and very expensive, compressors are required in order to
fill nitro/HPA tanks. The only places that usually have this sort of
compressor are some paintball fields and scuba diving shops."
