well they are different

they wouldnt be much of a company if they only sold 1 thing :D

if u want to fill an air tank you need something similar to what you have in the 4th link for air. id suggest you go on a safety course tho cos it can be dangerous if you dont know what your doing (ypc do one for free)

the differences are the pressure the tanks go up to and air have a regulator on the end (usually given away by the big guage on it) rather than just a valve like co2

Gary,
Where do you live mate and what type of paintball do you intend to play? Are you just wanting to attend walk ons at you local field?
If so, get an air system like in your first post but from here on the forums not ebay. Your local field should have a compressor that you can use to refill your air bottle so you do not need the air tank. Talk to LIPS @ www.lpspaintball.biz and get a basic 3000 psi air system off them brand new and they can help you with it.
CO2 is not being replaced by Air systems so stick with Air.

This is the air bottle for sale on ebay you are talking about I take it?
Could be but he also thinks that it can supply 1000-6000 PSI which is very impressive!

Gary,
You need to meet some walkons mate and have a good chat with them or visit a store and explain what you are looking for.

Totally dude, listen to that advice^^^ You're dealing with very high pressures here, and to do anything without knowing exactly what you're doing is potentially fatal. Gain some knowledge and experience before you start messing about with thousands of pounds of pressure. Buy an air bottle, and preferably not off of ebay (read this thread for an example of why not to http://www.p8ntballer-forums.com/vb/showthread.php?t=113595 ). Safety first my man :)

This post terrifies me. Dude, you really need to take this seriously. I get that you're new and I'm not ridiculing your lack of knowledge, I just want you to go to a site and get some advice and experience on refilling an air tank so you don't get hurt or hurt anyone else (and so you have fun!). There are little things you need to know (such as "NEVER put oil/lube anywhere on your air bottle" so that it doesn't explode) before you start running about with your mate and having a "largh"

A walkon is where paintballers with their own equipment can turn up and play on the site. It's usually a very cheap way of getting some play in with decent equipment. I recommend you go to one and ask as many questions you can. Once you know what you're doing with refills etc. THEN start filling off of a dive tank (which is much more dangerous since the air flow is only regulated by the valve, and you want to fill your bottle SLOWLY). Walk before you run dude.
