RAPID7LIAM 7 Posted September 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2013 apparently all the paintball places used to use it but changed to compressed air as it was cheaper, supposed to be better for more consistant shots. I've filled the bottle with air at the dive shop but every shot drops off till its shooting at about 4fpe after 7 or 8 shots. haven't even used the gun yet so could be knacked for all I know, I've had it over a week now. you live and learn, stick to compressed air in the future.

moxy 617 Posted September 24, 2013 Report Share Posted September 24, 2013 Beer gas perhaps Not sure what the wp is on the cylinders but a standard welding reg will fit and provided you mod it to purge, I wouldn't see why one of these cylinders wouldn't do,to decant from, pressure dependant. Around a tenner a cylinder. What is the size and wp on the ratty cylinder? Quote Link to post
secretagentmole 1,701 Posted September 24, 2013 Report Share Posted September 24, 2013 People do also make decanting rigs from CO2 fire extinguishers! Quote Link to post
RAPID7LIAM 7 Posted September 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2013 I think co2 fire extinguishers is the way to do it, been searching for hours and I have found the kit that fixes to the fire extinguisher t fill the paintball bottle, it also goes on weight rather than fill pressure, thanks men, Liam.

secretagentmole 1,701 Posted September 24, 2013 Report Share Posted September 24, 2013 No probs and most fire prevention companies can refill it! Quote Link to post
RAPID7LIAM 7 Posted September 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2013 I can get a full 2kg fire extinguisher for a tenner or a pub gas cylinder for £12, need to know that there will work with the charging kit/hose I get though. Quote Link to post

A standard charging hose and reg wont fit a pub cylinder. As I said earlier, you will need a welding reg with a guage and a purge dial, plus your hose and adapter to your ratty. Quote Link to post
Acuspell 329 Posted September 24, 2013 Report Share Posted September 24, 2013 It is so much easier to use air! 1 Quote Link to post
