N/A Another couple of inches down the rabbit hole!

Recently bought a Benjamin Marauder in 22 caliber. Enjoying that 'click - pftt - splat' of shooting paper at 50 yards from a bench. Didn't care for shooting three magazines then I'm donefor the day though. Have a small Vezor (SP?) compressor suitable for just filling the rifle. I could clip it onto my car's battery but not crazy about the idea. Saw pics of tethered bottles and guns. So I'm thinking a 3 liter bottle, but would take forever to fill using fill - stop for 20 mins - fill- stop..etc. Then I remembered ..my neighbor runs a paintbal shop. "Hey TJ, how filling up an air tank for me ? Sure we got a few guys that do it.. Show me your rifle. Yup that would work." Showed him the 6.8L set up on Amazon, including regulator. "Yup that would work". Ordered, filled tank to 4500 psi, range day. Shoot a couple of mags, top off, reload mags, shoot, top off. 100 pellets down range. Life is good!!!
 
I found my 2L and 3L bottles used as tethers let me shoot for hours. Just have to reload magazines or grab another tin when shooting my AirForce rifles.

Most of my guns are regulated so I can use the full 4500psi. I also have a regulated fill valve for my guns that can only handle 200 bar or 250 bar. Unfortunately that reg is unavailable anymore. I keep looking for it because I want a 3rd one.

Nice! You are right the vevor compressor won't fill the tank. It would struggle and overheat. Best to keep it for topping off the gun only
