An 8" long by 4.5" diameter oxygen cylinder tested at 3500psi might make a mean hybrid? There's even a nifty high pressure Schrader valve in it.

Looks cool it reminds me of Biohazard by Pat123
that is great, I hope you have a fridge compressor. If you can get more, you could possibly have them filled with HPA, and make a sweet bbmg or something.
I am jealous. Can I ask where you got it?

I received it about 15 years ago from a friend that found it in the basement of an old house he had purchased. So I kept it all this time knowing I could use it for something cool some day.

Ya, I have an old, out of hydro, CO2 tank, that I was thinking of doing similar things with. The problem is the restriction at the neck. Even with a hybrid, you are probably limited to a 3/4" barrel, which would have to be many many feet long to get any sort of efficiency. I was thinking of using mine on a 2" though, despite the flow restriction, to make some kickass short stubby thing.

Do not be troubled about the future, for it has not yet come;
Live life in the present, and make it so beautiful that it will be worth remembering.

flow restriction doesn't affect hybrids as much as you would think. In HGDT, it put a 1.25" burst disk above a 2" disk, for a 3" barrel. I would cut off the current port and have someone weld pipe onto the hole. that way you get threads and a clear, unrestricted port.
It is definitely worth it, and I need to find an old CO2 fire extinguisher.

I guess there is something to be said for the old baffles in tennisball Pringles mortars... Turbulence will help you out if your burst disk busts at too low of a pressure.

ok, ya, that is a little low... you probably would get not too much loss in power by lowering it to a 4x, and it would be substantially quieter...

it is all about the noise. the earthshattering, bomblike muzzle report is 40% of the fun(the other 60%will involve 500fps cement filled soda bottles and an old truck). besides that would be a 60% cut in ft/lbs.
Now that I have hijacked this thread, I suppose I will hold it ransom for a scuba tank or something.

if you really want to...
EDIT: you just did, since my reply to your question has nothing to do with an oxygen tank. but seriously, I will hold it this thread till I get a SCUBA tank...
