Okay, I am not an airsmith, but on a bet I am going to design and build the most complex CO2 setup for an Automag to date. Heres a description....

I will use a 1/8 steel T-joint with 90 fittings and on/off ASAs to make a dual Co2 tank system. A 12 oz. tank and a 20 oz. tank. BTW, this is put on a huge 16+1 harness I found on e-bay for $9(1700 rounds of paint is uber heavy) That t-joint will then be hooked to a 42" steel remote w/ on/off. It will then run to a 2 holed ASA. A 9 oz. tank will be attached to that ASA and it will only be filled to 6 oz. Then it will go to a Turbo Boost expansion chamber(I love it for some sick reason) and then to the ASA hole thingy.

The reasoning behind this? I wanna see if it is possible to make something this complex. And incase you wanted to know, I am a hardcore woodsballer(speedballer w/ remote an nearly a case of paint bouncing on his butt? I don't think so). I'll get some consistency numbers and pics up when I can.

If any of yall see any technical, physical, or moral problems with this, please tell me.

hahahahahha I have an on gun co2 system that will put that "complex system" to shame:D . I can't talk about it, but I will post picks when its finished. IF it works correctly I will be able to play all year round in VT weather(below 0 sometimes) with a mag running co2. Liquid will not be a problem at all. But congrats on the cool setup. Post pics when its finished. Sounds really good! Ahhhh tinkering. gotta love it!

Make sure your insurance covers visits to the chiropractor! :) Wow... I wonder if you rapid-fired enough, would your entire back freeze?

I would reconsider the T joint... at least with solid pipe. If you slip and come crashing down, a fitting may break and vent your co2 everywhere. Maybe do it with braided hose.

Okay, I just "finished" it , but I won't have pics for a while. I did a few changes though. First, I got my dad to make me this neat little gas-block y-joint thingy. It's a little large, but I'm gonna grind the excess "flesh" off.
I also put two inline Co2 filters on it to keep it cleanest.
I did do some shooting with it today. The gas block froze almost to the point it stuck to my shirt. When I first gassed it up, there was a faint leak that took me almost 10 minutes to find. The gun itself was fine though. Infact, I dare say it was quite nice. I'm looking for a side car and vents mask tho(to go with my oldschool 16+1 harness) Anyone? I'm gonna be adding to this though, like a fourth or even fifth tank so expect some updates soon.:D :D

Actually, reading Douglas Adams... but you're close! Radiohead must've read his stuff too!

Douglas Adams is just great. We have a few fans on here, if not more.

You do know he died, right? His were the only books that would make me absolutely crack up laughing.
