Not certain how similar they are going to be but my Sydarm got about 20

10-15 shots max

Blowbacks are gas hogs, that's just the way it is.
If you want to make it small, use a 3.5 oz. tank. It'll get you maybe 225 or so. It's also the same price for a small tank as it is for the 12-gram changer.
If gas is a problem, you can also just run it remote.

The real problem, though, is going to be modifying the trigger group (trigger, sear, springs, etc.) to fit inside the stock.
Good luck.

Cooper-T makes one that is part of the 12g bucket changer.

As was already stated, I'd look for a 3.5oz tank.

Hey:

If you do decide to use a 12 gram-make sure you get a Check-It Valve. They allow the user to put a 12 gram in the changer; pierce it, and let the air from the 12 gram fill your expansion and cock the gun. Then you can release that 12 gram and put a fresh one in. The check-it valves were primarily used on 6-Paks and Micro-Ca's.

Hope that helps.

But as the others said a 3.5 Ounce might be the easiest OR going with a 1 ounce tank from Cooper-T.
