... compressed air. Before I used a firefighters air tank and a hand/foot pump ... which I no longer have.
Is there something that I can use from the world of paintball to fill my Morini short and my Walter LP-300 ?

Do you have an aversion to using a scuba tank?

No, Just trying to keep it quick and cheap. The LP300 can use 3,000 lbs, most only 2,000. It's been a while ... what do folks do? Buy used scuba tanks?

If you are leaning towards a used tank, you may want to visit a local dive shop first and find out what the down side may be. Here is a page from eBay describing what to look out for:

While you're in the dive shop, just ask if they have a used one cheap. It will be full and serviced. You also need a fitting to put your adapter into, preferably with a pressure gauge, but that can be a separate item.
You can usually find a few tanks on Craigslist for about $50, but you may need a service to get it filled (another $50). But maybe not, and if it's full you're probably good for a year.

It is interesting to know that there is someone who is interested in racing as well as target shooting, like me. Thanks Mako.

Yep, me too. Also, I know of another on this site who races. I should be back on my 250GP bike later this year.
