I can only get about 100psi in my steel cannon. How do you get more than that in there?. I have a regular ole shop air compressor.

is your regulator set at 100 or is that all your compressor can push? that and is there any leaks in your gun?

buy a bicycle stirrup pump or a HPA bottle with a regulator.

co2 tanks are prety cheap and you can get fills upto about 800psi from one, should also get a palmers stabilizer to reg it to whatever psi you need. they also come in different sizes depending on how portable you want to be. you can also get a couple of scuba tanks, a fill station and a palmers reg . then you can fill from 0 to 900 psi. an air booster that will boost your shop compressor will run you about $1,200 to $2,000 and a scuba compressor will be about $3,000 and give you 3k to 5k psi depending on wich one you get .

its probably the regulator that is limiting me. i have an old compressor that actually just quit on me. its about 30 years old. im about to go buy a new one tomorrow with a 33 gallon tank.

Yeah I figured it was your compressor that was just limited in the ability to pressre it up. Good luck with your new one
