That one won't attach to a paintball cannister.

Here is a similar item that would work http://www.amazon.com/AQUATEK-OF-CAL...2139700&sr=1-2

This guy on TPT also makes something similar for cheaper. I plan on ordering one soon.

Thx Carlin, if you were on a budget of $50 for a regulator for a paintball co2 which would you consider, or what is the safest minimum regulator to get?

I'd probably go with a set from nilocg. Cheap and safe.

Opinion?

[Carlin]

I think you over payed for the quality.

I also thought you only had a $50 budget?

[Dave00gt]

sorry , I tried, sometimes when you have a budget it tends to lead to cheap quality stuff..

I know I prolly did overpay, I did want to turn off the CO2 at night so that was a plus, and I felt the needle valve was a step
ahead. I guess I just wanted the whole kit and as much as plug and play.
