What I was thinking, is that if you duplicated the guts of the pump(and made them stronger, you'll see why) and attached a motor, you would have a portable fill station. I was thinking it would work sorta like this:

I know AGD was thinking of something like this a while ago, but I have heard nothing of it since, and this design would pose a notable advantage in that it would fill faster(if it worked). It would for certain cost more, because a good gasoline motor would already be $500-ish, not to mention the pump and other hardware. But overall, I think the price would be worth it, because if a band of outlawers need a fill station, they can all just pitch in. Has anyone tried this before? Your thoughts on the idea? I just hate how I get all these ideas only after I splurge on a big ticket item.

A motorized, high pressure hand pump already exists. From reading different reviews, it isn't really suited to fill a bunch of paintball tanks on a weekly basis.
