attaching a 12 gram co2 cartridge to a spud gun

[tntlly]

how would i go about doing this? what fittings and everything would i need to use these cartidges for a potato gun? i already know about the pressures of 12 gram cartridges on various chamber sizes, i just want to know how to get the co2 into my chamber

[KVINCEO]

you need one of these http://www.888paintball.com/Shop/Contro ... /SFV/30842the threads are not exact, but i believe you need a 1/2 inch female adapter to whatever your chamber is, i use about an 8" chamber of 3/4 inch steel pipe


also, i cant figure out how to do the url thing cuz im stupid

[tntlly]

no worries i know how to copy/paste. thanks. the co2 is too cold for pvc isn't it?

[KVINCEO]

idk if its too cold, but to my knowlege its too high psi

this was what i used for my first 12 gram build, it worked awesome, i sold it and regret it.

damn the site's not there anymore. but pressure wise you could do something to regulate how much co2 goes in

[KVINCEO]

oh. well, i just used steel pipe, it handles the pressure and regulators cost too much. the one on the site i tried to show you uses

1x 3/4" to 1/2" steel reducer*
1x 3/4" steel pipe about 6" long
1x 3/4" elbow*
1x 3/4" ball valve
1x 3/4" pipe 3" long
1x co2 adapter
1x pvc 1 1/2" to 3/4" reducer
1x 1 1/2" pvc pipe

* instead of a reducer you can just get an elbow/ reducer 3/4" to 1/2"


adapter goes to reducer to elbow to 6" pipe to ball valve to 3" pipe to barrel.

well yeah i think i'm gonna make a metal co2 paintball sniper rifle

[tntlly]

okay, and not that i'm doing it, you can use a schrader and one of those things for tires that you put a 12 or 16 gram co2 canister in.
