I searched, and found nothing on this other than a post of mine in a
thread about mounting multiple tanks, but if this is already a topic,
deleted be this thread. Anyway, have you (If you use Co2) run out in game, and gotten bunkered because you couldn't change tanks fast enough?? (Happened to me in a tournament...) Well, I thought of a 12-gram system that you simply flip a valve to use... No unscrewing of tanks, in case you run out of air in the wrong time... The system works like this... Get a 1/8" 90* elbow, a 1/8" on/off ball valve (Available from shocktech), a 1/8" to C/A adaptor, and a 12-gram adaptor, the kind that allow you to use a 12-gram in a C/A adaptor... Put it together with a little Teflon tape, and fit it so that the elbow goes into a spare 1/8" NPT port (My Spyder has one on it's underside) and the rest of our little contraption runs in a straight line in which ever direction you decide. Just make sure the 12-gram adaptor ends up at the rear of this monstrosity... Then, when you run out of air in a tight spot, flip the on/off valve to open, and use the few shots wisely. This may or may not work... I thought of it in five minutes... also, you could use a 3.5 Oz. Co2 tank, or a prefilled 4 Oz... I was just going for a small, light, and sleek design. I'm going to try it as soon as I get a little spare money, unless any on ye'all point out that it won't work. If it has been done by anyone that you know of, could you tell me? Criticize my idea away... It may help me think of a new design... *Edit* If I do this and all, I will put up pics... For now, can anyone point me to where I can get a 12-gram adaptor, the kind that allow you to use it in a C/A adaptor? ------------- TEAM http://freewebs.com/und3rgroundth3ory/ - UND3RGROUNDTH3ORY

I saw a few ways to attach two tanks on this site, but a
spare-air-in-the-case-that-you-run-out-under-fire idea is what I was
thinking. Like I said, small, light, and sleek. P.S. Sorry my description for assembling was terrible...  ------------- TEAM http://freewebs.com/und3rgroundth3ory/ - UND3RGROUNDTH3ORY

| Yeah you hook a remote line to your gun, and get some sort of T-shape valve thing, it's pretty big, and it has 2 connections, one for each tank. i saw one a few days ago. |

Come on, people. Post your likes/dislikes about the idea. Tell me what
should be changed. I think it'll work as is, but please correct me if
I'm wrong. *Edit* I also need to know where the cheapest 1/8" NPT to C/A Adaptor (Verticle adaptor) can be found.. i have found alot, but all for around $20, and that sounds really high to me... ------------- TEAM http://freewebs.com/und3rgroundth3ory/ - UND3RGROUNDTH3ORY

Well, I've almost managed that before... I think dying of 12 grams of Co2 would be fun...

I found all the parts that I would use.. Note that I use a 'Street T Fitting' because I have a guage that I wish to mount... Qty.| Fitting http://palmer-pursuit.com/CATALOG/fittings.htm - 1----1/8 On Off Valve fem-fem Heavy Duty http://www.palmer-pursuit.com/CATALOG/CKRPRTS.HTM - 1----PPS ASA adp. http://www.palmer-pursuit.com/CATALOG/fittings.htm - 1----1/8 NPT Street T http://www.palmer-pursuit.com/CATALOG/fittings.htm - 2----1/8 NPT Female Female 90 http://www.palmer-pursuit.com/CATALOG/fittings.htm - 1----CCI 12 gram changer
I got this all at http://www.palmer-pursuit.com/catalog/fittings.htm . Shipping is like $7.00... I just gotta wait 'till meh dad gives me the money he owes me... Also, the 'Street T Fitting' thingy could be used to mount two tanks, if you took the 1/8" to C/A adaptor off two remotes and screwed them directly into it... Any suggestions would be great right now. ------------- TEAM http://freewebs.com/und3rgroundth3ory/ - UND3RGROUNDTH3ORY

As I have said before, my goals are small, light, and sleek... I may
need to add functioning to this, too... If I wanted to add 2 tanks, I
would. But the cost of that is high... I'm on a very tight budget...
Barely paying for this... I could add one of those prefilled 3.5
Oz. disposable Co2 things, if I needed more than 12 grams, too. ------------- TEAM http://freewebs.com/und3rgroundth3ory/ - UND3RGROUNDTH3ORY

I liked the micro-CA... They probably sell for the price of my gun, though.

dislike...
as soon as you try to change over it will leave you open to being bunkered for a few seconds and that is just long enough to get bunkered. sounds like no huge deal but thats something I could think of and you asked for our dislikes. ------------- NOUS DE`FIOUS ODERINT DUM METUANT |

Leave you open for a second while you flipped the on/off, yes. But a
second without air as opposed to 45 seconds to a minute without air.
Which would you rather?

No... I'm painting it all black soon. At the time(s) of buying, those were the only colors avalable. P.S. I'm straight, and have a girlfriend. ------------- TEAM http://freewebs.com/und3rgroundth3ory/ - UND3RGROUNDTH3ORY
