Leverage ratio dilemma

Re: Leverage ratio dilemma

1.5 Lt buffer wont fit for sure - too big. And if most are made from steel they wont come any lighter right?

The 20oz paintball bottle will fit in nicely though, with diameter of 8cm and height of 24cm and a volume of about 0.9Lt it should do. And then I can increase the ram volume up to 0.3Lt.

Another option could be building my own buffer tank to the size I wish...but I know most of you here are against building pressure tanks without testing it might not be worth the hassle in the end if the weight lost is not much!

Re: Leverage ratio dilemma

you can get a 900g extinguisher but you would have to find out what thread to add a valve

you can also get 600g 1s as well and i think there aluminium

Re: Leverage ratio dilemma

Think I'll stick to paintball buffers - the 1/2 thread is a good size and connects to regular air fittings, besides that I can increase pressure as much as I want to as well, and at 850g I believe its not too heavy.

Been thinking of some way to increase pressure, say up to 16-20bar, but I cant find any compact 5/2 way valves rated above 10bar! Might try to design my own and give it a test, but its much more convenient finding something off the shelf!
