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

[Hef Legend]

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

[Mr Monkey Nuts]

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.

[joshcowin]

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

[BBrotherwood]

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.

[TacMaster]

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.

[Russe11]

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.

 

[Guest 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.

[Guest 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.

[proffrink]

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.

Said it before will say it agian. Use nuprol low temp green gas in the cold. Works great! From anything above 5-7° and if its colder than that then personaly id rather be at home in the warm.

[proffrink]

Anything above Nuprol '2.0 is extremely overpriced though. That 4.0 is what £20 a can? That's more than Guarder Powerful and that stuff is most certainly harder kicking that Nuprol.

[shortman]

Yea the nuprol 3.0 is 17.99 a can. But works between 3-10° which is pretty efficiant. Thing is if you run a gas gun they are genrally more expensive to run/maintain. If you want to run a gas gun in the winter then is defo going to be more expenisve to make work well. Sooooo buy expesive low temp gas or buy an aeg lol love my aeg wouldnt swap it for any gbbr on the market + all the tea in china! My gas pistol i love and in the cold works fine as the nuprol 3.0 gas last bloody for ever in pistol mags

[proffrink]

I've really not seen anything to prove it performs any better than say Guarder Powerful at those temperatures. I tried to run my M4 at the start of this year and it was pretty horrible - it has a fully steel bolt and it's the WA system so it's not the most innovative thing ever, but I can say that the Powerful gas did perform better than the 3.0 (don't think their 4.0 stuff was available at the time). I mean Smart Gas sells itself as being a 'low temperature gas' on the can, but it's sure as hell not close to Nuprol 3.0 or Guarder Powerful in terms of power.

 

The bit about it working between 3-10 degrees isn't backed up by anything but the claim on their can and Facebook page. As far as I can tell the Guarder Powerful stuff is just that - more powerful and the larger cans are compressed even more. Although this probably isn't that case for you, it does disappoint me that Nuprol's very basic advertising pitch has been eaten up so readily by so many people. We've seen their BBs are naff yet people still buy them, and I don't think their regular gas has ever been any better than, say, Abbey Ultra.

[shortman]

Yea there green gas im not a fan of but the low temp stuff was good when playing in the cold bunkers of ucap. I have to agree though it would apear nuprol products genrally arnt up to scratch really.
