The 4500 psi SCUBA tanks mentioned above will use a 300 DIN valve. Pistols or rifles rated for 3000 psi will use a 200 DIN adapter. Screwing a 200 DIN adapter into a 300 DIN adapter will not seal. It's not deep enough. This keeps people from putting 4500 psi into a tank rated for 3000. A 300 DIN adapter will seal on a 200 DIN valve. While I'm sure the tanks are pressure tested by the manufacturers well over the rated pressure, I don't know by how much.

Dive shops sell 4500 psi fills as "Nitrox'. It's a mix with a higher % of oxygen so a diver is less likely to get what used to be called the bends.

I don't know whether Best fittings sell their filling adaptors for either the Morini or the Steyr to the US but it I'm sure it would be worth asking them.

Not sure if the OP is in US or not. In any case a very good source of tanks and accessories in the US is Joe Brancato at http://www.airtanksforsale.com.

Near the bottom of the page is a stainless adapter that'll work with AP cylinder fill fittings called out as 'Stainless Steel DIN200/DIN300 to Male Paintball Quick Disconnect (Fits Steyr, Feinwerkbau, Anschutz, AA/CZ200, etc.)' and looks like: http://www.airtanksforsale.com/din200.jpg. You'd also need a microbore hose and foster quick disconnect fitting. I bought my whole tank/hose/gauge/fitting setup from him.

Another new item is a low(er) cost 4500psi compressor at mrodair.com.

I was out of town so I didn't get my dig in.

I just bought a Walther LPM1 SSP. It will supplement my Steyr LP1.

I haven't used it much yet and have not finished tweaking it, but I see no real difference in my scores so far.

If you think your scores will increase with a new gun.....you're dreaming.
