OK, I'm a noob here. I have built two guns. One is a 4.5ft modeled after the Green Hornet from Advanced Spuds with a few changes. The other is a small handgun.

Anyways, I have a problem. I use a lantern lighter on both right now, but I'm getting ready to convert the big one into a stun gun ignition setup. I want to use propane, but I'm a little confused. I need the absolute cheapest way to hook a Benzo-Matic or Coleman propane cylinder to my gun. The valve is no problem, but I've tried various hardware and parts stores, to no avail, to find the fittings I needed. I am on a very tight budget, so I don't plan on metering it. I can just guess and learn from practice how much to put in.

Thanks in advance,

RD

Thanks for the quick help, I tried searching, I guess just with the wrong terms.
