I got thinking about aerosal cans and how i could use one for a gun apart from combustion cannons. I was lookind around and remebered that some airsoft blowbacks use propane. So I was thinking that the lighter refill gas canisters could work. They are butane and sometimes propane. I could attatch it to the chamber via an old refilable lighter at the bottom. Use the valve. This could work as a single shot bb gun, only problem is what kind of valve to use for a chamber volume so small but is also accurate. That gets rid of ball valve as it is innacurate and has low power. I want a really simple one so me and my friends can bb war or as we would use dried peas. I live in aus, no bbs . I could use my hammer desin but that requires a large chamber volume so any help is greatly appreciated.

Great idea!,I was going to use something like that on my miny I designed a while back but that fill thing was really crappy. Where did you find yours?How big is it ?

The brass refill valve can be found on any REFILLABLE lighters, dont get the disposable ones as they obviously cannot be refilled. You might be abled to find a cheap lighter at a souvenier store or a supermarket but basically its on the bottom. I have loads from taking apart lighters to make my minis. They are usually fairly small, about 1cm length and half in width, but you can get smaller. Only problem is finding a valve that small that has accuracy as well as power, any ideas for a very small caliber and small chamber? Thanks.
