Hmm, do you mean how many shots? If so, it depends on the gun. Like shockers are gas hogs and you wouldnt get a lot. 4,500psi tanks are better. Try to find 1 of those.

eh by 80 cu feet he means a scuba tank. I've heard around 2-3 fills near 3000 psi, or up to 12 if your willing to goto the 2500-2000 range. Remember that the pressure of the tanks equalizes, so the pressure of filling will decline after every fill.

You might want to find a 4500PSI scuba tank and get a 4500 tank or somehow reg it down to 3000. 4500s are expensive though.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure he means fills considering he wrote 80 cu FEET. I was a little confused about that at first.

OMG! It costs you 12 bucks to fill a 3k? It costs me 10 bucks for all day air or 3 bucks for a 45 fill.

Do a search. There was a semi-large thread about this where mathematics and real world experiance was used so it may be more reliable.
