Using a HPA Tank as a Quick-disconnect Air Supply

Cannons powered by pneumatic pressure (compressed gas) using a valve or other release.

Hey guys, I have a single charge air gun in the works, since the air chamber releases all at once I have to use a shock pump to pump it over 100 times to reach a decent PSI. I recently was given a paintball tank and had the idea to use it as a portable power source, the tank is far too bulky to integrate into the gun, but I thought I might be able to hang it off of a sling and connect it via schrader valve to quickly dump a charge of air into my chamber (think airsoft green gas bottle).

The regulator can be modified to a safe pressure, which goes through a short air hose to a schrader fitting which I should be able to screw into a schrader valve like a bike pump.

Has anyone done anything similar? I'm just looking for useful suggestions. I've never heard of an HPA tank being used in this way.

No reason why it wouldn't work, just make sure you get the pressure to safe level with the reg.
