How to Make: Paintball to Airsoft CO2 Adapter


00:00:00hey it’s Greek edge guru here with a

00:00:02quick tutorial on how to make an adapter

00:00:06for your co2 tanks to go to a regular

00:00:11size 16 gram threaded ultra plate plus

00:00:15and this can also be used for other

00:00:19purposes

00:00:21really depends on your need but this is

00:00:24the co2 tank that I’m going to be using

00:00:26and I have a larger one that’s that I’m

00:00:30just using for demonstration but this

00:00:34would be connected to an extension and

00:00:37then it’s going to be connected to this

00:00:41quick-release adapter and then this is

00:00:44basically it you have co2 tank so I’m

00:00:48sorry I cut 16 grams co2 cartridge some

00:00:53other things like this is a thread cap

00:00:56for protecting your threads on your co2

00:01:00tanks some earrings and teflon tape so

00:01:05I’ll just give you the complete list

00:01:08you’ll need your innovations ultra

00:01:12flight plus if this is the purpose that

00:01:14you want to use it for you’ll need jb

00:01:18weld a thread protector you can get

00:01:23these off ebay v for like twelve dollars

00:01:26these you these are oring x’ you can get

00:01:29them from Home Depot and you want to get

00:01:31a thick gauge one to really give you a

00:01:35good airtight seal and you want teflon

00:01:38tape and a used co2 cartridge so first

00:01:45you’ll want to start out by cutting your

00:01:46co2 cartridge to size this is about an

00:01:50inch and a half and then you’ll want to

00:01:53sand that down and make it as flat and

00:01:55the at the end as possible so that when

00:01:58it sits on the end of your thread

00:01:59protector that there’s no rickety or you

00:02:04know you just want to be sitting on

00:02:05there as flat and as flush as possible

00:02:09and then you want to prepare your co2

00:02:12threader

00:02:13read protector and see down there you

00:02:16can is a little divot you can use that

00:02:18as a guide for drilling your through to

00:02:22the bottom and you’ll want to start with

00:02:24the smallest size drill bit and then

00:02:26work your way up and then you’ll get

00:02:28something similar to this and it doesn’t

00:02:34have to be perfect doesn’t have to be

00:02:35pretty you just need to get a nice

00:02:37decent sized hole through there so that

00:02:39you can get a good amount of airflow and

00:02:42then you just take your jb weld and

00:02:45really tack it on there you want to get

00:02:47as much as possible so that this thing

00:02:49does not dislodge and hurt anyone

00:02:52because there’s a lot of pressure in

00:02:53these tanks and you don’t want them to

00:02:55explode or have anything break like that

00:02:57so the good thing about this is since

00:03:00there’s this little divot at the top and

00:03:02this lip it really helps anchor it down

00:03:06and this isn’t going anywhere this is

00:03:08completely 100% solid and it’s pretty

00:03:13safe so after you’ve done all that

00:03:18you’ll want to take your quick-release

00:03:23and put the o-ring at the very bottom

00:03:27and that’s right there and you want to

00:03:32put as much teflon tape on there as

00:03:35possible you may even want to add an

00:03:37extra Oh ring this is a smaller sized

00:03:39one on top or above the larger size

00:03:43o-ring and then that way when you screw

00:03:47it down you get a really good airtight

00:03:51seal that won’t leak so let me just use

00:03:55this see them what you do is just screw

00:03:57this into your whatever adapter you want

00:04:03and then screw down as far as possible

00:04:09until you may even want to use a wrench

00:04:13you want to make that as airtight as

00:04:17possible I think that’s about all I can

00:04:21do so you can see there’s a thick those

00:04:25are the two Rob

00:04:27Oh rings and crapload of teflon tape to

00:04:32keep it airtight because these aren’t

00:04:34meant to be airtight at all they’re just

00:04:36meant to protect the threads so that

00:04:38they don’t get damaged when you’re

00:04:40transporting them so there it is I’ll

00:04:45demonstrate real quick take the co2

00:04:48adapter and it goes on like that and

00:04:53pressurize the air tank thank you and

00:05:01then you just pull the trigger and that

00:05:08this is going to be really useful for

00:05:12making larger size air guns so that I

00:05:15don’t have to use these small co2 it’s

00:05:19going to be a lot more cost-effective

00:05:23you could even use this to flat your

00:05:26tires so that you don’t have to carry

00:05:29around a electric inflator this could

00:05:34just go straight on to your car tire and

00:05:38then you have this entire tank to fill

00:05:42your tires when are you get into an

00:05:43accident when you get not an accident

00:05:46but when you have a flat tire instead of

00:05:48calling whatever insurance company or

00:05:50stead of doing it by hand and if you

00:05:53just need some air to get back to a gas

00:05:57station to get serviced this would be a

00:06:00perfect utility to have in your car you

00:06:04could also use this for cleaning up your

00:06:10desktop instead of buying those co2

00:06:14canned air for cleaning your keyboard

00:06:17you could just use this and I think a

00:06:20refill for this tank is like two dollars

00:06:23and thirty cents or something like that

00:06:25so once you have the tank bought all you

00:06:28have to do is keep refilling it and I

00:06:32think this has a lot of uses other than

00:06:35just what I’m using it for

00:06:38I’m planning on doing something with an

00:06:40airsoft mortar like a rocket launcher

00:06:43for airsoft something like a big Gatling

00:06:47gun that’s just going to have a huge

00:06:49clip of airsoft BB’s I was going to use

00:06:53the smaller co2 tank to make an SMG I

00:06:57was going to somehow make a clip system

00:07:02for airsoft I’m sorry for blowgun

00:07:05needles and then make like a kneeler or

00:07:07a Spiker from the Halo series that would

00:07:11shoot these at a really high velocity

00:07:13and a really high rate I think that

00:07:15would be really awesome to see so just a

00:07:18lot of ideas a lot of doors that have

00:07:21been opened because before you really

00:07:24couldn’t go from co2 you couldn’t go

00:07:29from a paintball tank to a trigger

00:07:33without having a paintball gun or

00:07:35something along the lines of that

00:07:38now with this adapter I think it’s going

00:07:40to change things and I’m going to try to

00:07:44work with someone to make these actually

00:07:48on the market that you can maybe buy

00:07:50from me or something like that because

00:07:53not everyone has the tools to actually

00:07:56cut down the metal and all that stuff so

00:08:00it was time-consuming but it wasn’t too

00:08:03bad and I think the work will definitely

00:08:07pay off so definitely leave a comment

00:08:10below on what you think I should use

00:08:13this for or what you would use this for

00:08:15go into my Facebook page and post a

00:08:18comment or like the page and Facebook is

00:08:21a really good way for me to to connect

00:08:24with my fans so that I can talk to them

00:08:28more about different ideas whereas on

00:08:33YouTube you really can’t have that

00:08:35unless you’re messaging back and forth

00:08:37so if you’re interested in my youtube

00:08:40channel definitely go on my Facebook and

00:08:42like that I also have a Twitter but it’s

00:08:45not as social networking as Facebook so

00:08:50I like to just use Facebook especially

00:08:52and that’s about it so thanks for

00:08:57watching and have a good one
