    the gasses and percentages you gave are right... just wrongly together im afraid.

    Oxygen = 20%
    Nitrogen = 79%
    Carbon Dioxide + Water + Dust, etc = 1%

    oppss silly me... stupid typo and i edited it twice.

    I can use up to 40% oxygen in scuba and thats how i know its so dangerous.
    one thing i cant understand.. how can you get a refill station for €50.

    High preasure air is Nitrogen, used in scuba tanks. Some classic airsofters call it Nitrogen because it sounds cooler :pac:

    I don't know if a scuba shop would refill a Paintball/Airsoft tank Sam although it'd be dead handy if they would. If not I'll have to buy a 15l scuba tank, 250 euro, a refill station for 50 euro and risk filling it myself. A slight risk since I think scuba tanks have a slightly higher BAR rating.


    and here was me thinking it was going to be pressurised pure nitrogen, because he referred to HPA & nitrogen as seperate rigs.

    elitest scum.:pac:

    They've been available for years and used by the classic airsoft community. A locking system that attaches to the scuba tank, it has a pressure gauge and a bleed-off release valve.

    There's a few videos on youtube of 3000 PSI tanks being filled from a 15L using the station.

    The biggest problem with filling by this method is diminishing returns with each fill. About 300 PSI less each time.

    I hope that isn't dirrected at me? I do agree though, people shouldn't use different names for the same system, it's too easy to confuse people and probably one of the reasons external rigs can't really find a place in modern airsoft.

    Most of the posting on classicairsoft.net seems to always assume the reader already knows everything there is to know about rigs :(

    Guys you wont have a chance of getting a reputible dive shop to fill tanks without a dive licence and a cyliner that is within its test time,
    Also filling yourself is highly dangerous unless your trained to do it. oxygen is highly flamable and messing with it could spell disaster.

    For your info on pressure, tanks are either 232bar or 300 bar..

    If the cylinder is in test any one will fill it.

    You can buy a hand pump, A manual pump fills the tank much slower than a scuba tank. It takes about 75 pump strokes to raise the pressure in the Talon tank from 2,500 to 3,000. That's about 15 pump strokes per 100 pounds of pressure increase. http://www.pyramydair.com/site/articles/talon/8.fill-from-pump.jpg

    Just to point out, Oxygen under pressure is fantasticly explosive and will react with ANYTHING, the cylinders that hold it have to be perfectly clean, even a drop of oil will cause unpleasantness.


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,612 ✭✭✭bullets


    Speaking of Nitrogen !!! check this place
    out : http://www.airsoftgasblowbacks.com/photos.html

    I stuck a post on the IAA forums asking about this.
    I did not want to post it here in case it went against
    the board charter.

    Don't forget that the air in a SCUBA tank is dry. This is to prevent (amongst other things) corrosion internally in the tank. The compressors used to fill the tanks dry the air, so its worth noting that a handpump on its own won't remove moisture from the air.

    As well as the periodic hydrostatic test a tank has to undergo an internal visual inspection yearly.

    MGW and ISA: Lee-Enfield No.4 MKI and M1903A3/A4
    Impressive WW2 hand made replicas, news courtesy of Jeremiah:

    MGW and ISA is a small cottage industry custom WW2 airsoft gun producer created with the goal of building high quality WW2 replicas at a price that is affordable.

    Each and every replica I build is built by hand on an order to order basis, there is no mass production here and I offer picture updates of customers orders as per their request so you can actually see the progress of your rifle from start to finish!

    The Lee-Enfield No.4 MKI will be available for purchase late May and the M1903A3/A4 Springfield’s will be available for purchase in mid June.

    Prices are $450 for an Enfield and $450-$500 for a Springfield depending on what version you purchase.

    Lee-Enfield No.4 MKI rifle

    Finally and Enfield replica that wont break the bank! This rifle features all metal hardware hand built from aluminum, a full wood and plastic stock painted in an extremely realistic wood faux finish and working L flip rear iron sight. The rifle comes standard with a 30rnd magazine, speed loader, it shoots at about 450fps and features a fully adjustable hop-up.

    Each replica is extremely durable and designed so that the rifle can be fully disassembled for what ever reason, it can actually be field stripped in the same manner as the real Lee-Enfield.The rifle is finished in a dark faux wood finish and all hardware is painted flat black.

    The Lee-Enfield No.4 MKI rifle will soon be followed with an No.1 MKIII SMLE built to the same quality and finish as the No.4 MKI.

    M1903A3/A4 Springfield Rifle

    This is by far my best creation yet! I am releasing two versions of the WW2 Springfield rifle, the M1903A3 and the Sniper version the M1903A4.

    The M1903A3 version features a WW2 style all wood and plastic scant stock and stock bolts. It will have a real steel rear peep sight, front sight, front sight hood, front stock band, mid stock band, and butt stock plate and WW2A3 style hand guard.

    The M1903A4 Sniper rifle version features a WW2 style full C grip all wood and plastic stock and stock bolts. It will have a real steel front stock band, mid stock band, and butt stock plate and WW2A4 style hand guard. The A4 never had front or rear peep sights so they will not be added to this version. I will add a look alike scope rail to the receiver group, it will be up to the buyer to add a scope.

    Each rifle comes standard with a 30rnd magazine, speed loader, it shoots at about 450fps and features a fully adjustable hop-up.
    The stock is painted is a very realistic wood faux finish. The metal hardware on the rifle is all from real Springfield’s which means that there will be a mix of blued and parkarized parts ( you can see this on real Springfield’s as well) but they will be matched accordingly.

    Each replica is extremely durable and designed so that the rifle can be fully disassembled for what ever reason, it can actually be field stripped in the same manner as the real Springfield.

    The M1903A3/A4 rifle will soon be followed with an 03 and 03A1 built to the same quality and finish as the A3/A4.

    Please fell free to contact MGW and ISA at moaurosgunworks@hotmail.com if you have any questions.

    After releasing the SG550 as few weeks ago G&G have now released their MP5 SD range with the SD5 and SD6. Still no sign of the blow back MP5s yet which I'm holding out for.

    KJW have a GBB M4 on the go, but it looks way over our limit. First shot of a .25g bb was at 128m/s and dropped to about 120m/s by the 10th shot due to cool down.

    For $18 dollars I wouldn't bother with these mags. You can get VFC and G&P mags for the same price that are more realistic. Those element ones have no arsenal stamps and the the black ones should be ribbed. They just recoloured the same shell, very slack.
