When I was searching for a way to fill my cannon on the go I was looking at one of these http://www.qindustries.net/products/hv_50.htm It's a little more heavy duty and yet still small enough to carry. But in the end I decided to go CO2 it just easier and faster.

I use those foam noodles you buy for swimming pools they work great for wadding plus they come in many sizes and are cheap, just cut them into 2" lengths. You can get like 36 plugs out of a 6' noddle for less then $5.

That price is for a new 5lb tank and we pay a 14% tax here in Canada. If you look on eBay 5lb tanks go for $60 to $70 American.

For such a small air chamber I would just go with a bike pump. I was pricing out CO2 tanks before I got a 20 pound tank for free. They are not cheap a 5 pound tank was going to run me close to a $100CAD after tax.

My regulator problems are solved I picked up a Harris 8700 high pressure regulator from work. It's rated to deliver output up to 1500 PSI, would love to see a pneumatic cannon that could shoot at 1500 PSI that would be insane. I still need to change the hookup to connect it to my tank, I'm going to ...

Thats cool if I can use O2 regulator because I know where there is one in the plant and it's just like new. I think the intake gauge reads up to 4000psi but I think the outlet gauge only goes up to 100psi. Can I change the gauge to one that reads say 200psi or does it not work that way. I think my b...

I got this tank from work, they were going to toss it out because no company laid claim to it after the plant closed down. So I grabbed it for free and it's almost full. The reason I asked is my boss gave me a Argon regulator (again for free), he said it will work with CO2 but the connection is the ...
