well, i play paintball, and so some of the tanks that
are available might work, such nitrogen systems can be
114CU in, 4500 PSI, or you can get a 68 or 114 cu in
CO2 tanks, but from my experience in paintball, you
would want to use co2, because when co2 expands from a
liquid form, it has more volume than with a nitrogen 

www.smartparts.com , they make a air system for
paintball that is able to regulate down to 50 psi, and
has a high flow rate, but if you are looking for small
co2 tank for a reasonable price, try  pbgear.com, and
goto gas systems, and the funny thing is that is
usually only costs $2-3 for a large co2 tank
