Really see no problem doing so in short run time fills. ... JUST DON'T OVERFILL GUN !!!
Condensation is the likely culprit direct filling.
Most times it is an issue LONGER compressor has been running.

Yes, you can. But as Scott says, BE VERY CAREFUL and watch the fill gauge. I use my Omega to fill directly but it has two shut-offs. One primary limit and the other is a safety backup.

A dry air system should help with the condensation issues and like others have said to be careful of overfill!!!

Do as you wish but per instructions "Use only for filling scuba tanks and other high-volume devices. Do not connect directly to an airgun, as it fills too fast and heats up. When filling air bottles, do not leave the compressor unattended! Do not use for breathing air!"
