are there places on the internet that ship the big tanks of co2...my friend asked me this question..since then iv been wondering

Plenty of places, they just have to be in your country to be able to ship it.

CO2, or tanks? They'll ship tanks, but I don't think they can ship pressurized tanks with CO2 in them. You need to get them filled somewhere.

Yah, I'm 90% sure they won't ship Co2 or HPA, something about exploding.

You can get the tank as long as it's empty and meets DOT requirements.

EDIT: If you're going for a "big" CO2 tank, you may as well look into fiberglass compressed air tanks.

Paintball fields and sporting good stores will usually refill tanks for a price on the order of $3.

If you want big tanks to refill from it's best to rent them from a local welding outfit

I'm in this same predicament right now also. Check around with local welding shops to find out where to get a bulk CO2 tank filled. Prices in my area range from $23.50 to $50 for a 50lb tank. Typically these places also lease and sell tanks, but expect to pay ~$250 for a 50lb tank. You might try craigslist or a classified ad to find a used tank locally.

Also keep in mind you will need a tank with a siphon (or "dip") tube in it, and you'll also need a "CO2 fill station" to connect the small paintball tanks. Don't forget the scale so you don't overfill the tanks!
