Probably only 125psi or so...Doubt it's anywhere near up to the job of filling an air tank.well its a houshold compressor used for spraying etc etc, i think 4.5hp, its not a huge diesel thing it runs off electic, that any help? I could check all the bar / psi rating etc if hats any better?

dont think that will be up to mate (in fact pretty damn sure a spraying gun doesnt work at 4500psi.) You could always get a scuba cyclinder ansd get your local dive shop to fill it for you then just decant your fills from that at home
I really dont think any Random compressor will do the job your best bet is to either get a fill from your local site or try a dive shop most of them have the facilities.
You'll need a 3000psi compressor to charge to that pressure - those 4.5 hp units aren't going to hit that sort of pressure.
Ohhh right never mind was worh a try, just i already have a compressor so thought it might have been an option, i seen a vid on utube a while ago where an american dude used the compressor to fire his marker, so thought maybe it would work, not to worry! Just out of curiosidy is the the fittings on a precharge air gun buddy bottle the same as a paintball marker? just my friend has already got a bottle and the fill station and stuff. I didnt want to spend fortunes on air sysems etc as some sites dont allow air anyways and only co2. I have got a DOT co2 bottle that i was given off the lad i bought the marker from but its illegal to fill them, so i will have to get another 1 anyways. I also red that you can use a soda steam bottle?
Cheers for all the help

Chris save up and buy a proper air bottle (the 3000psi steel bottles go for around £30) or a CO2 bottle (again around £15) otherwise you will lose an arm or other important limb. High pressure air is not to messed around with and is not something you want to be cutting corners on for your safety and others
