Something to use as a air tank?
Anybody have a idea of something i could use as a miniture air tank to use as a source for the air on a semi-auto. something that i could mount into the stock on the gun etc.
i was thinking something like a miniture propane tank but you can only buy them full and they cost like $30.
i was going to use some tubing (11mm diameter) below the barrel but it doesnt hold enough air for more than like 2-3 acceptable shots and takes up a lot of space
suggestions?

what pressure are you going to use it at? and what valve are you using?

If its going on a qev, just use a close nipple, and a end cap. Its a tiny air chamber and fills easily.

Pvc can't be used in everything. We don't even know the pressure this guy wants to use it at. Would you feel safe using 500 psi in 2" pvc?jsefcik wrote:1/2 inch pvcmattyzip77 wrote:Yes it does, but did you see the part where he said that he wanted to keep it SMALL!!!jsefcik wrote:pvc pipe works really, well i know of many people that have used it
yeh so im thinking max operating pressure around 250psi? its the main air source to fill a smaller tank so it has to hold enough air for multiple shots (preferably 5+ decent shots)
i was thinking something like this:

so your looking for a main take to fill a smaller firing tank, how big is the firing tank? if you can id say up the pressure to 3-400psi and use a reg to drop it down.

uh im using a 1/4 qev and the firing tank will be some 11mm diameter tubing around 15cm long. but i can change this if its too big/small
the barrel is 6.5mm diameter
what kind of regulator to use coz im planning on keeping the gun looking as much as i can like a proper rifle
cheers

I would simply use a small firing chamber, just a 1/4" close nipple with an end cap, and then a 3way valve.
