um i have been wanting to try this for a long time do u think if i combined like 3 2 liter soda bottles togther and pumped them to like 70 psi and i plugged it on a sharader valve would it pump my gun and still have air to pump it more then one time or would all the air just go in?

I'm sorry, I'm having difficulty seeing what you mean. Could you elaborate on that?

Yea it would work, but you would have to get the soda bottles at a perfect seal or you would go to recharge and be rather disappointed. Also what kind of fittings are you planning on using? I would suggest quick connects with one female on the chamber and one on the fill tank, to couple them use two males with a small ball valve in the middle.

i see what you mean, well the pressure would be the same through the whole thing chamber and bottle so if you wanted 70psi then your bottle would have to be pumped higher.

I do not know what size your chamber is, but it may work for a small, low pressure pneumatic.
Figure it out: P1*V1-P2*V2
If your pneumatic is larger, then you might find a small compressor is a good investment.

Hey, if you look on the how-to section there is a thread on sprinkler valves with guide rods, heres the link straigt to it : http://www.spudfiles.com/forums/modding ... t3821.html

You an do it that way, or there is a way where you bend the guide rod, im not sure how though, hope this helps
