The Airsource tanks contains 3.1 oz of CO2.
Number of shots depend on marker and setup.
You need one adaptor per marker. You screw the Airsource cylinder into the adaptor then the adaptor screw into a standard ASA recepticle (like the one found on a bottomline setup)
As far as I know they will work with any marker.
The one drawback with them is that you have to empty the cylinder every time you use it. Even though the adaptor uses a pin valve, it doesn't close completely and empties slowly when you remove it from the marker.
You can try and buy an inline on/off valve and put that in between the marker and the adaptor, but I don't know for sure if that will work or if you can buy them anywhere in the UK.
At http://www.doropaintball.com they sell these two items you might want to have a look at:
Inline on/off valve (http://www.doropaintball.com/AB1038101EQuick/shopexd.asp?id=5893)
Slide check valve (http://www.doropaintball.com/AB1038101EQuick/shopexd.asp?id=6464)

If you want to fill your own tanks you have three options:
1. Get a couple of tanks and get it filled at your local site once in a while.
2. Buy a fill station and scales and befriend someone who works at your local pub. They use CO2 tanks for their soft drinks on tap, and might let you fill your tanks for a small fee.
3. Buy a fill station and scales and rent a CO2 cylinder from BOC or the like and fill it yourself. (can be expensive though)
Instructions on filling could be found at CO2 filling technique (http://www.warpig.com/paintball/technical/gasses/fill.shtml)

Hope this helps!
