Morning Leo,
The buffer tank is here to stay!
Silly question but is there no way of making the co2 hole bigger?.. you know like changing the valve.I know the burst disk is a part of the valve,so i guess its not possible.
i already have a timer circuit set at 1 second works well and a dc-dc converter to fire the valve at 36 volts,as you recomended.

The paintballvalve cannot be altered in a dependable or safe fashion.

And the timer is a bit long if you ask me. .5 sec sounds more like it.

I wanted a quicker one,but thats what i got for under £10 from maplin.
I think a diferent variable resister will give me a quicker time.at the moment it ranges between 1 sec and 60 sec.Thats something i can do
Another question!
If i where to buy a short flexible hose,what pressure will it need to work to..70 bar/1000 psi,and what is the type and size of thread on a paint ball bottle?
Thanks again Mario/Leo

Paintball shops sell a 1/4 outer diameter hose with fitting push locks. Those have a 1/8 NPT foot.
And yes, that material has the official rating for CO2 use.

The buffertank in your system is changed compared to a normal 12 oz tank. The hole in the neck of the bottle is enlarged to 3/8 bsp.

We tried the paintball hose/push locks in Hannibalito III, they work, and are safe. But I dont like them.
So Hannibalito III will get the orginal system from I and II , direct screw in.
