ok, not sure quite what your getting at, but to fill the bottle with the adapter you have, connect small end to the fill nipple, by sliding the collar back and pushing over the nipple. then the dive shop will connedt the big end to the compressor din fill whip. the bottle does not need to be attached to the gun to do this. when filled, screw the bottle into the on / off asa, and turn it on. gun should now fire
ps, the connectors pictured above are for filling off a dive bottle, and not a compressor, which is what tom allan is selling you.

yaay! So it works!
Thanks!
P.s, what bit do i push back? The collar? Aka the cover?
I don't need any tools to do I?

God i'm confused
Let me get this straight, you only want to fill your gun bottle and not purchase a dive bottle?
If that's correct then you will need a din fill rig as pictured on other peoples posts, but you will not be able to hook that up to a compressor as the din fitting will be wrong on the compressor feed.....(it will also be a female fitting and two female fittings cannot be joined without a male/male adaptor and it's starting to get complicated now).................................................................
but if you have a friendly dive shop they will fill your bottle off of a pre-charged dive tank.
But go and ask at your dive shop first, as i have found them to be very reserved about their offers of help on anything non-fishy.
After all if you blow yourself up, the first question that's asked is who filled the tank and how?
Try going to another site, and getting a walk on player to demonstrate the fill technique, where in the country are you?
P.s if you look at the square rig on ascutt's post you'll see it has a small silver end on the left hand side, you should just be able to see an arrow on a ring (far left), this ring is the bit that is slid back when you push the rig onto your gun bottle, once it's on you realease the ring and it locks into posistion, removal is just a reversal of all that once the pressure has been vented.
From the questions you've asked i'm guessing your new to all this, so my advice is try and find some experienced players in your area to run through it, air tanks run at high pressures and are quite capable of killing you if you blow one up by doing something silly, but used correctly they are perfectly safe !

Very unlikely you will find a dive shop who will fill your small tank directly from compressor whip. Especially using a fitting you supply.
I see you are in herts, where abouts?

diablo66, no offence, but you are wrong. the compressor whip, attatches to a dive bottle via a male din fitting, the adapter pictured is a female din fitting, male + female join!!! you getting the picture?? one of my local dive shops will fill straight off the compressor, its only the same as filling a dive tank, only its a smaller bottle, both have been tested to accept their relevent pressures.
