I doubt a lot of you people have heard of this pistol. It is your basic 12 gram CO2 pistol, but instead of a tube holding .68 paintballs, it has a hopper that holds around 200 .40 paintballs. Anyways, I have one of these and the 12 gram CO2 does not deliver the power I need to break at long range. So I was wondering if anyone knows of a way to hook up a 9 oz. CO2 bottle on to it. I have a idea, but I need a extra bottom line adapter and a hose.

If anyone has any ideas, please post them here.

Replied to the other post you left in the Air forums. Try not to double post.

i've got one. Never thought about modifying the air source though. Until now.

Ok, both ideas require that the front part (where the 12 gram locking lever is) be cut off so you've got an open space to the 12 gram puncture area. Now you'll have to find a way to attach one of the following:

this thing (http://www.pyramydair.com/cgi-bin/accessory.pl?accessory_id=285) that's meant for an air rifle

or

a CCM vertical air kit that's meant for Phantoms, available here (http://www.whitewolfairsmithing.com/cci%20parts.htm) (scroll all the way down, it's $40).

The first choice might work better, since the mounting is similar.

Get one of those dummy 12gram carts that have a hole tapped for 1/8" npt threads. Have a ss hose go from that to an asa which youll have to find a way to hook up, and youll be set.

I was thinking of drilling a hole in a 12 gram, but if they sell dummy ones with a hole already, where do you get one? Do you even think it could handle pressure from 9 oz. of CO2?
