Nuro Posted January 2, 2022 Posted January 2, 2022 Is it really just as simple as this or is there more modification to the pistol required ? Never used hpa but considering a pistol setup for cqb sites. Thank in advance.

Never used hpa but considering a pistol setup for cqb sites. Thank in advance. This thread should help: I don’t know enough (pretty much anything) about the workings of gas operated airsoft ……. But in theory if the magazine normally holds an appropriate gas, then you ‘just’ have to replace the magazines existing gas fill valve with a tap & HPA fitting, then connect to an HPA source regulated to the right pressure. To switch magazines you’ll need to have the right mixture of on/off valves In theory if you tap the magazine with a self sealing on/off nipple (such as a bottles fill nipple) ….. and that the self sealing valve is stopped from blowing into the magazine …… then you could disconnect the remote line whilst retaining air in the magazine - but the pressure will drop with every shot As a paintballer, personally I don’t see much benefit in an remote line HPA fed magazine to a pistol. If you’re going to change magazine then you need to switch both the magazine and detach / attach the HPA source For certain paintball pistols they work best with 12 gram co2 capsules in the magazine, then magazines can just be switched. Whereas if the tap can go into the pistol body a remote line gives ‘unlimited’ air and the magazines can be swapped with no impact on the air
