HI-capa 5.1 mag?

slsd00041 · February 17th, 2012, 10:31

HI, I was wondering if its possible to fill a hi-cappa 5.1 mag with compressed air from a paintball tank, and if its possible can I use the propane adaptor.

Thanks

thanks but that still doesn't answer my question. does that mean that the mags operate at 100 to 200 psi.

I had written a long reply on my phone but the damn sensitive touch pad deleted it.

Short answer: No it will not work.

Longer answer: Compressed air is not liquid under pressure, therefore you need to have a high pressure in order to have enough volume to make it worth your while and last. You mag is only meant for the low pressure (100-200psi as stated in think, not positive). Filling it with 100-200psi of air will do nothing after the first shot in believe, if that.

I had the same questions a few months ago with a new gbbr. It can't be done without things like an external tank, etc.

sounds dangerous. maybe you and nooblord could do some experiments together.

i suggest wearing goggles for that.

No. It's not economically viable at this point in time to design a small airsoft mag to take HPA. You need things like regulators and other pieces.

There are mags that will take 12g CO2 cartridges but you don't fill it with CO2 you use the cartridge like you would in a .177 pellet pistol by screwing in the cartridge into the puncturer thing.

Just use Duster/Green/Red gas.
