COMPRESSORS

There are two main types of compressors for air guns:

Small compressors are portable, allowing you to take them with you to easily fill onboard tanks and tubes when you're in the field. They can connect to a car battery or a household outlet for power. And they are fairly inexpensive.

Large compressors are more powerful and capable of filling large bottles and tanks. They will have more safety features such as automatic shutoff, temperature control, and moisture control. Because they move more air than small compressors, they also have faster fill times.
