i'm pretty sure most companies make 48 68 88 114, i'm not 100% sure on those sizes because lots of companies have different sizes some have 47ci some have 51ci some have 48ci but those are the main sizes that i've seen

I am pretty sure that 3000psi tanks get about 10 shots to each cubic inch, and 4500psi tanks get about 15 shots to each cubic inch. I hope this answers your question or at least helps a little

The problem with your question is that CA/N2 tank sizes are measured by volume, and CO2 tanks are measured by the weight of CO2 that can be filled in them.

This is probably because air (even compressed) weighs so little, that it is difficult to measure the amount filled by weight. Liquid CO2 has noticeable weight. And the listed weight (ex. 9 oz) can be easily used to determine the amount of CO2 that it should be filled with.

Your best bet is probably to look at one of those charts listing approximate shots per fill. Or, If you are interested in what the size (volume) of the tanks are, you should go to a store to see them in person if you can.

One idea, if you're really interested, would be to fill a large pot with water to the top, having measured how much water you put in. Next, you could place a tank in up to the bottom of the valve or whatever and measure how much water was left over, after the tank displaced its volume. You might want to do this one in a sink!

I would do this, but I don't have access to all the sizes of bottles there are. Those of you who work at a paintball shop might want to try this one out (or not).
