  • gbb conversion to HPA

    Just wondering has anyone done this?, would save loads of money buying c02/gas and would imagine quite a few guns could have a tank mounted on them instead of having a seperate tank and line.

    Why would you want to mount an air tank on your gun? Its too close to paintball for my liking...

      If the tank could be concealed properly like say for instance in the recoil tube/butstock with a regulator you would get far more shots than with small co2 cartridges or gas. Just a thought.

        or a pre charge pneumatic airsoft gun like an air rifle

          long thin tube. Pump it up and youd get LOADS of shots per fill

            Youll also probably not be allowed to have that on your regular site.

            Propane is a far better route if you want to save money on gas guns

              why do you think it would not be allowed? it works on the same principle as a classic airsoft gun, which isnt normally restricted...it only fires air, so its not as dangerous,and can be regulated to keep it at a very steady and safe limit

                Ah I thought we were stil talking CO2

                How would you even get the air from the stock tube into the gun though? normally it comes from the mags...

                  If you are going down the HPA route with an external gas tank you might be better at looking at the Sun projects guns as this is how they are setup already. If you did this with a WA,WE or any modern GBBr then you have all the disadvantages to that system, but not the one main advantage.

                    like mentioned above it would be like a pre charged pneumatic gun...the resevoir would be held in the stock tube,the dimensions are good enough,and you would use normal midcaps.
                    i have no idea,how it would be done exactely but ive seen pre charged guns working in a similar fashion

                      OR, radical idea here...

                      Use propane?

                        There's a guy on the gas guns forum that's done this, you may want to have a look around on there as i *think* he posted a guide. Main advantage is that you can get hundreds of not thousands of shots per fill of the tank and you may also get it filled for free from some places. It's also not as effected by the cold as propane iirc so there are some good things about it but i would also assume it requires a lot of work.

                          That sounds interesting i'll take a look on the forum, i reckon if a good job was made of the conversion it would be worth it. For the gbb m4 say the custom cylinder could be mounted in the stock and the regulated air piped through to the front valve which could be attached to the gun as opposed to in the mag it should be a good system.

                            You would not be able to mount a HPA tank in the stock of a M4, the pressure is too much, and therefore has to have think walls.

                            You will be able to mount a CO2 tank in the stock, like a RAP4 style system.

                            Have a look here:

                            It's not quite the same as the system you want, but it'll get you started and show you what type of equipment you need.

                              Could you use that same tank for Propane and other gasses?
