   Gday metallicsting,
I would suggest you look at a compressor. A decent one will completely fill your gun each time, where a dive tank will loose headpressure after each fill and then of course need a trip to the dive shop to get filled. Then there is the testing fo rthe tank that will happen every year that costs around $70 -$90. Some people think you don't need a test if it's not for breathing use, but it does need to be in test to be legally filled.

Get a compressor that works on 12 v and it means you can fill it in the field off your car battery. I have a GX CS4. Paid around $900 landed, but I see Hunting and Fishing might be selling them under Gamo label with their new PPCP 
(plastic precharged Pneumatic) 

I also have an earlier Airbow compressor as a backup, and haven't used my dive tank for a few years now.
