Years ago I used a modified 1kg firestarter fire extinguser as a main resevior. I had to  then add a check valve , a  pressure regulator before going to  a "shot" resevior made from large pressure rated copper plumbing supplies to a solinoid valve to a steel barrel. It used to shoot a 1/2" lead sinker and was capable of punching through two car doors stacked together.
SO A WARNING TO ALL PEOPLE PLAYING WITH THESE ITEMS, THEY CAN BE  LETHAL AND THE POLICE JOHNNYS DONT LIKE PEOPLE WHO CAN MAKE THEIR OWN WEAPONS SO PLEASE BE CAREFULL

You can make a tank from pvc itself, or you can use the small CO2 canisters(don't go with anything big, too dangerous).

get pvc pipe, and make a big airtank. put a bike tire (scrader) in one end on a cap, and glue it on the pipe.do the same on the other cap, butt this time find a way to connect it to your valve.

Not that high pressure, and the gun won't explode unless you jam the barrel-shut. Something like bits from a Sodastream machine - look on Ebay, and also under brewing accessories.

get a co2 cylinder with a regulator. The regulator can bring the pressure down by many factors, so it can be used efficiently without blowing up the gun.

HPA tanks from paintball should work. Most ate programed with a regulator of 850 psi factory default.
