i was thinking maybe i should get something like this as backup just in case i run out of air on the field. i've heard 12 gram cartrigdges are not good for semi autos. but i figured if i was just going to take 1 or 2 shots it couldnt hurt. what do you guys think?

Why would you bother for 2 shots?

I think you should play entire games with that thing installed in your vertial adapter, with a tiny hopper. That would be way cool for making your gun more compact.

If you're talking woodsball, it's a pretty good idea. If you're playing speedball, well... I don't think it would be quite as usefull. However at some fields, they make you get off the field if you run out of air, so it would be a good idea just to stay on to draw fire and make the other team think you're still a threat.

Do you have a pack where you could keep this thing?

For $14... why not. I'd have fun with it.

Yeah, I wouldn't expect much from a 12g on a semi.

By the time you unscrew your tank, screw in the adapter, and then screw in the 12g... you're out.

thats what i thought. i got a bunch of 12g tanks laying around the house because i got about 4 bb and pellet rifles.

i might just get it to try to conserve shots and be more stealth. try to play like a c-3 player for a change.

20g on a 98 generally won't even get 20 shots from what I've heard.

Just get a 20 oz tank.  It should last.  Maybe carry a 9 oz out with you if you play woodsball.  I've thought of doing that.

Dont bother with it. I use a 12 and carry a 9 with me just in case. It works well and because I dont shoot a lot, it lasts most of the day.

If you are playing woodsball I would recommend buying a pistol like a Zeus.
