    Air Assist Components please!!

    Well, apparently, long story, prefer NOT to give all details, I have access to about every kind and color of cocker pneumatic hose, and about every kind of plastic barb for the hose imaginable. Well, I think it would be cool to make and sell all the components for air assist, or any other special requests imaginable, for a very very fair price. I would just like to know all of the compononents for air assist (angel, shocker, whatever) to get me started. thanks for any help.

      Can you be a little more specific about what you mean by "air assist"?
      "Accuracy by aiming."

        Well, if you dont know what an air assist is, chances are you dont know the components, but here goes anyways: An air assist is a hose that runs from a certain spot on your gun, to the feedbeck, to get a bit of "exhaust" to give the paint an extra shove into the breach. I have at my fingertips every possible component for such a device, as well as thousands of feet of the tubing...basically all I need is a component list, and I will sell them at cheap prices. I can also put togethor a different package upon request.

            is it needed with the 20+bps loaders? low impact bolts? eyes? It would just be a waste of money. But also, i dought this would be cheap to do

              most air assist kits consist only of a barb and a length of hose.

              most guns with air assist just have a hole tapped (usually 10-32) on the dry side of the valve, or on the exhaust port of an electronic 3-way.

              Once you have a hole in the gun that air passes by every time the gun is fired, all you need is a barb and the hose.

              In short, barbs with 10-32 threads, and lengths of hose are all you need. Most solenoids used in today's electronic guns use 10-32 threaded MACs or Humphreys.
              if at first you don't succeed, skydiving is not for you.

                What do you mean not cheap? A couple of bucks, tops. It is just a nice feature to have, what with people who use (most people) 12vt revvies. It helps prevent chops, just assists gravity...thing is, I know its just hoses and barbs, but I can get all the hoses and all the barbs, real real cheap. I guess a 90* 10-32 threaded 1/16" hose barb? What kinda hose do I need? I can get different kinds (vinyl, etc.) You see, I figgure it would be fun for me to do this, and I could make a couple bucks. Literally, just a couple bucks...I just have to put it all to good use and air assist is what came to mind. I suppose I could also just sell the hose by itself, by the foot or something. Like, I could get 5000' foot of the stuff in any color, etc, for under $200 lol. I can get small quantities of these items for free...hmmm....anybody have any other ideas? I have about every single kind of check valves, in line filters, premium grade hose fittings, commercial grade hose fittings, quick disconnect luer fittings, tubing and tubing accessories, spiral wrap, grommeting, and other things at my fingertips. I can even get coiled hose.

                        Ya, I know what it was...but like you said, how was that relevant to the conversation?

                          I think Air Assist is a waste of time and money. A friend of mine had one on his Adrenalin Angel, and it didnt do crap. Just a gimmick IMO

                              Don't mean to put you down, but I don't think anyone would be interested in buying that kit. Air assisst was pretty much proven a gimick a year ago. Most people look down upon it. Plus with the HALOs and all the fast loaders people don't need it. And if you are thinking to sell to people with revolutions and slower loaders....I think they look for intellifeeds over air assist.

                              Sorry, I just want you to kinda think ahead on this. Maybe see if you'll have much of a customer base first before trying to get/consuming the components.
