How do I?: Co2 regulator

[iPaintball]

Can someone please explain to me how to construct a Co2 regulator to hook up to my cannon? I want to make it portable. If you could help me i'd be most thankful...

I wouldn't trust you with a high pressure air source such as co2.
Seeming that from what I see you have never looked at a brass fitting.

you cant just make a co2 regulator, you would need CNC lathes, mills, and raw materials. by the time and price that you will spend on that, you could buy hundreds of palmer regs.

Technically, I suppose you could build a small propane-meter style setup out of 1000+psi rated metal parts that would meter out a set volume of pressurized CO2 and vent it into a much larger volume expansion chamber where it would expand and warm up to a safe temperature and pressure to go into PVC. However, this would be more complicated and "rube-goldberg-ish" than it's worth. Just buy a regulator.

Peace,
Pete Zaria.

1) Post in the correct section next time.
2) Buy a reg. You aren't going to be able to make one that is guaranteed to be as safe as a commercial one.
Lock'd.
