You will not get many shots and your mag will leak.

For different type of gas, the pressure is different in the gas storage in the mag.
Too high pressure will blow seals.
The way regulated works is reduce the pressure of gas in the storage in the mag so the seal doesn't get blown and so the amount of gas that goes through the gun isn't too high so it damage the gun.
When I'm tapping into a mag, I'm just tapping into the gas storage system, thus eliminating the use the first valve.
So if a mag can handle the pressure of a higher gas, I can technqiliy use the first valve. But because most mags are design to take green gas, they need a regulator to help lower the pressure of other gas.
To equalized the pressure of different gas in the same space of lower pressure gas, it just means they fill it with less higher pressure gas. Kind of like:
5(2) = 2(5)
5 of green gas = 2 of co2
Am I correct?
Thanks for the help. Extremely noob when I comes to this stuff.

Just to understand you, your intention is to do a classic rig or do you plan to replace propane with CO2/HPA?
Tapping your mag is to replace the "fill" valve with an adapter/QD connector to attach an air line which is part of your regulator that is connected to your tank.
Technically yes, you can full a mag with CO2/HPA with a CO2 fill adapter
BUT the properties of CO2/HPA will not allow for a proper fill for the intended usage.
When GBB/R mags are filled with green gas/propane, you are actually transferring liquid propane. By volume, you will not be able to get anything worth doing if you tried with CO2/HPA.
The expansion rate of CO2 from liquid to gas far exceeds that of propane.
The pressures of HPA, which is compressed air, would definitely blow your seals since there is no liquid to gas state change. You might get enough for a couple shots but nothing worth attempting.
Please search on here for the numerous threads about using CO2/HPA in a propane mag!
If you want to run an air rig with a remote line, ten we can take the discussion in that direction!
