i dont think you can fill directly from a compresser, but you can fill into a scuba tank, and fill your pb tank from the scuba tank, the adapter is about £50, and to fill a diving tank to 3000psi it cost about £2, yes....just £2.
you can buy the adapter from justpb

yeah, you can get dive bottle fairly cheap, maybe an old one for about £40, and the adapter you can buy from gizmos or justpaintball.

There's a couple of ways to do this.

1. You can buy an adaptor (£30) to take to the dive shop to fill your gun bottle at the dive shop.

2. You can buy a dive bottle (£100+) and fill rig (£30). Then take the dive bottle to a dive shop and get it filled (£3), then fill your gun from this dive bottle through the fill rig.

PS. I make the adaptors and fill rigs.

Of course you can fill your bottle from a compressor..only problem is, teh compressor.

Firstly, it has to be teh type that provides breathing quality air.

Secondly, it has to be able to supply to 3000 or 4500 psi. These compressors are expensive...like £000 expensive...Bauer make them.

Also...dive tanks filled at dive shops can either be cheap, or well expensive...DO NOT MNETION, that it is for anything other than Scuba...learn a few buzz words and say you are training with a mate...or whatever...my local dive shop charges double (£10) to fill a dive tank for non scuba use (read as airguns)...apparently to do with insurance...but that is just bollox.

New you're looking at about £2000.

Not nice people. We have 3 dive shops in Cardiff, and they only charge £3 per dive bottle fill.
