CO2 to Propane kit...

So Ive been kicking around the idea of the semi c-3. Its ok and all, but it cant be used with CO2. Regular guns are great too, but doesnt have the ability to be used with Propane.

I was thinking that maybe there could be a kit. So that you are givin a propane asa, which goes to an expander(nice term for a chamber that ignites the propane), then sends that pressurized gas to either the guns valve, or a seperate chamber to hold the gas to be used.

This kit could be placed on any gun that uses HPA or CO2. I think it would look great on an automag.

I know this idea is pretty broad. Just looking for some input as to what you guys think of the concept.

i would be worried about it melting every single oring in the gun.
catastrophic idea.

it would cause problems in non-all metal guns. and even in all metal guns it would turn into holding a burning coal quickly.

I know thats a bit of an exageration with the burning coal stuff.... but a kit to convert any gun into a propane power is unlikely.

a much more likely idea would be a gun specifly built to be a semi-auto paintball gun that uses propane. but still the problem is keeping the gun at a constistant temperature. if the temp keeps fluxing up and down its gonna cause problems with consistancy due to expansion and contraction of different materials within the gun.

I do think you are on to something however with the idea of the combustion chamber that then leads to a holding chamber before the main valve. you would just have to find a reliable way to regulate the temperature once it reaches the holding chamber.
