Never put oxygen near your guns. I'm not sure about CO2, but probably wouldn't use it. _________________ "I never set out to be wierd, it was always everyone else who called me it" -Frank Zappa Speed is impressive, accuracy is deadly.

Fritz..I have to ask--why would you not use CO2 from one of those HUGE bottles??? Isn't that CO2 the same CO2 that comes in the 12 and 88 gram cylinders that folks use all the time in airguns? _________________ HEY !!

I just don't like the idea of it. You would need to invert the bottle to fill your gun, or run a direct line (be tethered to the tank). _________________ "I never set out to be wierd, it was always everyone else who called me it" -Frank Zappa Speed is impressive, accuracy is deadly.
