EDIT: make sure you have your safety goggles on!!!
we might have done something similar with a single tank, 100 psi and launching a drywall screw through a piece of 1/4" plywood....also rigged it to a air horn for some ear drumming good fun, we almost defeaned, well half the team at 100 psi....hearing protection for the people running the horn a must, after the first try my ears were ringing for the rest of the day...
