Hey all just wanted you to check over some parts for me before i order them.

I am using the semi design for a airsoft gun
Image


But instead of having the tee connecting the qev and blowgun im going to have the blowgun connected directly and doing the semi auto mod.

I will then run it off 12grm co2 cartrages from this

Manufacturer information here
http://www.genuineinnovations.com/compo ... lator.html

And there lies my first problem... How do i connect that to the blowgun input? Please help!


Anyway... Here are the parts i was talking about

3: 1/4 to 1/4 BSP Elbows - 1 for the qev to blowgun. 1 for the chamber and one for the air supply

1: Blow gun - Obvious - Has 1/4 BSP fittings

1: 1/4 QEV

1: 1/4 Cap (For the chamber)


Thanks for looking all, looking forward to answers.


EDIT: Oh and what sort of fitting would i need to connect the output of the qev to a 6mm I/D tube?

D Various fittings threaded into the side 10-32 output ports of the Miniature CO2 regulator
use push-to-connect fittings... that's what you can see in pic D

a 10-32 fitting on the reg, a length of tubing and 1/8" fitting on the blowgun

a quick warning if you're actually getting a 6mm ID barrel, Its a very tight fit, you have to really push the BB into the barrel, much tighter than any commercial airsoft barrel.

You can incorporate threaded fittings, here's an example.

Hmm... I might use epoxy as i cannot find any of those push fit connections anywear!

Can someone have a look please, either on http://www.airlines-pneumatics.co.uk/

or http://www.technobotsonline.com/pneumatics.html

Also if you do find one could i have an output on one side and a 1/8 10bar gauge on the otherside?

Thanks a bunch!

Cheers for the warning Lockednloaded... useful!

Technically it doesn't matter what type of fittings you use - the reg has ports where you can thread in fittings. As long as the size of thread is the same you should be fine.

I am not sure if 10-32 threads match M5 threads (damn you dudes should really really really consider switching to metrics... it's 2011, not 1011 lol). Can someone clarify this?

no, you need a male fitting (bc you've got female ports on the reg)... and I am not sure whether M5 is the same as 10-32

Though you should be able to get push-to-connect fittings in 10-32 too

ohh I found some -> http://www.omega.co.uk/ppt/pptsc.asp?ref=OM-AIR

No they don't, 10-32 in an american UNF thread
also from the regulator description:
Country of Origin - USA
The UK is mostly metric, this is about the only time I've seen these threads on anything and the fittings are therefore hard to find, that one poland spud linked to is probably about it.

To cut down on pilot volume, attach the pressure gauge to the chamber. Also, the blowgun goes the other way. :)
