No more cooldown :D

Just got some parts in from Japan.

Check it out.

Palmers Pursuit Air Rig attached to 6mm hose.

6mm hose to 4mm/6mm Push Tube Connector.

4mm hose to PROTECH Ltd. Fittings to TM Magazine.



If you think having a hose looks stupid then you obviously don't use a lanyard/sling, besides this'll decrease the chances of you losing a magazine in the field.

Amazing. How much did the total rig cost altogether?

What happens when you run out of BB's? I don't see this as very practical.

The parts from PROTECH cost me about $87CAD shipped via SpeedPost.

Tube connectors are dirt cheap you can pick them up anywhere.

You can get a better air rig then the Palmers one from ClassicAirsoft.net that would run you about $200 but you'll be able to use it for Classic Guns as well.

Preformance over Form. No cooldown, consistent shots, adjustable pressure, winter play time.

Most effective for 1911s since they are single-stack. You can now upgrade the crap out of your GBBs with high-flow valves and what not, full-auto GBB users benefit from this, this can also work with Marushin/ACM M500 Shotguns.

There's a quick-disconnect to the fitting on the magazine.

Changing magazines will take a second or two longer.

Turn off slide-check, remove quick-disconnect, drop the mag, replace it, snap it back in, turn on slide-check.

I also forgot to mention there are fittings for the KWC Mini Uzi and WA M4 Magazines.

It's better than no Sidearm in the winter. :\

I can see this being really useful with gas shotguns...

Separate magazine GBB's... not so much.

But hey, at least it's something different

If done right you could probably disguise it in a lanyard-type accessory for a pistol. Even now it kind of resembles the Gemtech lanyards.

If you're using a pistol over your primary in the first place, every second counts. I'd rather have faster mag changes. In the winter, I can see the benefit to this setup, but it's getting lovely out again.

If you're that worried about faster magazine changes you can actually get a fitting that will allow for the main hose to seperate into multiple hoses.

They've already done that for the WA M4 magazines.

Cold night-time games, full-auto pistols, and pistols that have small gas resevoirs would work nicer with it those were my intents for this.

just to be clear, so this would attach to a propane tank?

[hattrick]

Nope, that wouldnt work at all >.< it attaches to a HPA tank.

No, C02 or HPA.

[Drake]

Did you try the setup with the shotgun?

PROTECH Ltd. also offers the fittings to attach to propane/green gas tanks so yes - that would allow you to avoid buying the regular air rig to use with CO2 and HPA

The fitting is available for Marushin guns on PROTECH Ltd. I'll pick one up later, all the fittings are made from steel so they are quite costly.

[wildcard]

didn't they do this for the APS club shoot in Japan years ago?? and also for their IPSC styled guns and competition?
