[SpeedStrikerXLR]

[airsoft smithy]

costs about $17.76 from tractor supply

[bengrvr]

what is the average cost

[stg.badass]

ol all my teamates were look at me like what the heck are you doing

[dobbish11234]

How much does the shell weigh? Im trying to build something similar but idk how much a 16g Co2 cartridge can shoot.

[BigBossTussBall]

What about attaching it to the gun? you would need a rail grip. Where can I find a how to on the rail grip?

[slayer04]

buy a rail, glue it on, done

[mr.break_it]

or a screw tube (metal band which is tightened around the fixture using a screw

[marffy]

 how do those ball valves hold up to the pressure of the co2? where did you get them?

[maxa]

[bombmaker2]

[zimmemic25]

about the co2 cartridge: where to get it? is it used for paintball guns? or maybe for a soda machine?

[Father Christmas]

those ones, sometimes are used for paintball guns, but they are more commonly used for bb guns and air rifles. they are also relatively common for CO2 powered airsoft guns. you should be able to find them either online, or the sporting goods section of your local department store, by the airsoft and paintball guns.

[sgtmik]

....sigh....WALMART and if you're canadian....CANDATIAN TIRE

[zimmemic25]

my local deparrtment store doesnt have airsoft, i have to go to a weapon store (they sell real weapons, paintball and airsoft). i now use a 300grams CO2 soda-machine-cartridge. ill post an instructable soon

[mr.break_it]

why do soda machines need a co2 cartridge?

[timntek]

Is the shell thing like an airsoft shower

[sgtmik]

yup

[imthatguy1125]

what pressure is a normal co2 cartrige at

[dobbish11234]

looks cool im gonna try it =]<br/>a vid would be great <br/>

[munkeeboy]

I take the risk of sounding stupid, but could you explain how the grenades themselves work a little more?

[temp]

the co2 cartridge is used to shoot all the airsofts out of the party popper. It's essentialy a small pneumatic potato cannon.

[BigBossTussBall]

what about attachment? is there a rail attachment to these steps?

[Pumpkin$]

wow with just a 12. gram

[hippojoe]

How many shots can you get from one CO2 cartridge?

[sgtmik]

about 5 to 7

[hippojoe]

Wow thats more thani thought it would. Great job!!!

[abadfart]

thanks i'v been looking 4 something like this

[engineer_01]

how many times do u have to pump to pressurize it?

[sgtmik]

u dont have to pump it. IT USES CO2. just open the back valve and colse it. this will pressurize the chamber. ;-)

[AnarchistAsian]

nice, i hate those overpriced commercial ones.
