I think a little bit of grammatical editing would help me to understand what you are asking.

As far as a water gun section, we already do.

As far as the link, it looks like a nice homemade water gun.

@brother: I can't really see the water gun too good, but I do know that I (when I worked at a hardware store) we sold adapters that glued onto the PVC pipe and threads onto a water hose. It's probably something similar to that.

As far as obtaining one, they are usually around the hoses in a hardware store.

It looks as if it connects to a hose. I saw the picture where he had a backpack. Maybe he has a large air tank in the backpack?

Do you see, in the middle of it, that male and female adapter (3/4" to 1/2")? That's probably how he fills the tanks.

Maybe you can meet up on his forum and ask him because all I'm doing is assuming. You thinking about building a water gun?
