Gas idea

[joshcowin]

Hi their was thinking about gas guns and i wanted to know if you could get an adaptor like the madbull propane ones and put it on a paintball tank and hpa your mags without the airline like normal? Thanks

if you're HPA'ing, then you'll need the line...Unless you mean the reg?

 

[proffrink]

You need a reg unless you want to pump 300 bar into your magazine and have it blow up

What do you stand to gain? You lose all the advantages of a HPA gun, but with the expense of owning and filling a HPA bottle vs £10 of Colemans.

It was more the reliability of hpa in a magazine this winter than anything and not having to have a airline running from my back. Yes i would reg it and the owning and filling a tank is fine as work have a 4500psi compressor some of the lads use it for their polarstar

I doubt you would get enough air in the mag for a decent number of shots? The propane expands quite a bit when it is released to get a decent amount of force.

The main consistency and reliability advantage HPA has over normal GBB systems lies completely in the regulator, simply filling a gas mag with HPA would create no improvements.

Air behaves differently to propane when pressurised. Propane under pressure becomes a liquid so that the gas above the liquid stays at the same pressure, replenished by liguid vaporising to add more gas. If you fill a mag with air, it will not liquify so each shot will have less power then the one before. The only way to get HPA to work is by having a tank with a regulator.

I have a GHK G5 with HPA to the mag. Is pretty common place to do so. I have alao converted my gas mags to hi-caps.

 

[PT247]

Oh, misunderstood... You want the bottle attached to the gun? You can get airstocks which sort of hide a small air tank in the stock but you'd need a few bottles or a way to fill them on site.

 

[PT247]

You'd not get enough air in a mag to last as has been stated if you didn't run with some sort of bottle.

Jesus man - use that edit button.

I think what's being said is using an HPA tank like any green gas container and filling the magazines - not tapping them for HPA. As has been said, you wouldn't get the volume of air required for probably more than a few shots.
