Paintball Co2 canister.

sapphire_snake Feb 24, 2004 08:55 PM

I am trying to set up a "Death chamber" and am wanting to use a paintball Co2 canister because I have easy access to them. However I just don't see how I am going to be able to modify it without blowing myself up! Has anyone ever done this? If so can you tell me how?

I see the pin on top which is pressed down to let the Co2 out, but how could I get that to work?

If not what kind of places can you buy a Co2 tank at (I'm in the states) Any help would be appreciated!

Hi there what you need to do is go to your local paintball store you want to buy the kit for refilling your own co2 tanks it comes with a couple of valves and a braided hose its like 60.00 but this will be everything you need there is a piece that screws onto your tank and then there is a on and off valve to release the co2 if you do a search there was someone on here that made one with a small rubbermaid box and the kit I am talking about I am in the process of moveing and mine is at my new house or I would snap a pic for you if you dont find what your looking for repost in a couple of days and I will shoot you a pic good luck Paul

just get a "remote". It's a valve knob with a coil hose that screws onto your canister. Only about $20. I got my online.
