I'm considering building a single shot or semi auto air rifle (not sure how much work I want to put into it yet) any way, I want to make it mobile by powering it buy a paintball co2 tank, but I want to be able to regulate the pressure in my onboard pressure tank (that will contain the pressure to propel the projectile) but all the regulators I see around have a max input psi of 300 or less whereas paintball tanks are said to very from nearly 1000 to 550 psi depending on temp. so what do all you guys who use paintball tanks for your pnuematics, or air rifles use?


Thanks for the help in advance!
