There is no soda stream bottle on it.It's a proper paintball bottle.

The adapter is from a concrete (diamond )cutting tool manufacturer called Carat.
It goes from 1/4" bsp to 1/2"FIIK*

*FIIK is a popular pipethread , it stands for f** k if I know

Whatever the threads on a paintball bottle are.

Normal stems off of a regulator would do just fine as well.
They are just a bit longer.
One end is bottle size thread ( the "nut") the other side is 1/4"

Oh sorry :oops: i assumed that because on "overkill" you mention a soda stream reg, When i measure the diameter of the pin valve on the SS bottle its +-20mm, so my question really is do paintball tanks and SS tanks have the same thread size. I phoned the local paintball shop, which is an hour and a half away, they said, Quote : "Umm we don't know" silly idiots... I just want to know cause i want to use a fully regulated co2 system for my cannon.

I suddenly feel the urge to go on a part shopping spree, I have always wanted to build a co2 powered launcher, and now I can, just excuse me for doing this, "WOOO HOOO"

Impressive stuff here man! Respect. I still have to read through the blog how the valve is kept closed. I saw it works like an automag, but I still dont get the triggering.

well the tigger is the pressure washer handle and it basically fills the 'chamber' and the 'snapvalve' pop-off valve is an automatic pilot which pilots the QEV

Something like that yeah. :roll:
Tigger is a caracter from the book of Pooh but apart from that he's got it.

Tigger fills the reservoir and the Piglet valve piglets the QEV.
Making the gun go " pooh-pooh-pooh-pooh" :shock:
Pretty basic Rabbit fire cannon. :D
