Are you using a paintball cylinder? I am probably just going to the 88g cylinders so if I need gas I can just go pick one up and I was also reading to get a paintball gas cylinder you need to be a member or an airsoft or paintball club before anyone will sell one.

Yes a 9oz paintball cylinder. You should be able to buy them from anyone unless things have changed! Gun city sell them filled or unfilled and a local shop in Ashburton had them a while back

If you do go bulk filled? Make a dummy 12grm cartridge out of aluminum with a 4mm hole drilled in from the end to a 1/8bsp hole tapped in the side, and I run 1/8 bsp fitting to std paintball fittings to the bottle. I can do some close upstairs and a disassemble of it all if you want

Looking back on that early thread where I modified it, I was getting up to 585fps with sligtly lighter pellets. I've got a new phone and lost all my chair gun data so will have to enter it all in for get the FPE

You can buy heated jackets that use a battery, and quite possibly heated socks too. Only hassle being that you would need a battery.

Hey Bilbo,
Hope it's not too late but some close ups of what you did would be amazing if you could!

That sounds like a solid setup for bulk fill! The dummy 12g cartridge with the BSP fittings is a smart way to adapt. A close-up and disassembly would definitely be interesting to see. Also, a good paintball regulator helps maintain consistent pressure—this resource has more details!

Reviving an old thread but just how good are these with a few mods for rabbits?
I want to keep the co2 as I dont understand how to fill and charge them without having to spend big coin on a compressor or pump.
The chap at gun city said they are not suitable for rabbits (standard) but i kinda am interested in getting one and modifying it.
Is @mintie still interested in doing mods ?
As long as there is lead in the air...there is hope.

From what i understand co2 will only get to a certain pressure by its nature.
Temp will affect the pressure. Hence the shot.
So im not sure how much you can actually gain but i dont think its that much. Think it would be close range for rabbits, dont see it doing longer shots. But there are ppl om site who have user knowledge.
Ive not considered them due to the power, though as a bird gun im sure it would be great.
