n2agmba Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Found a video of Michelle Viscusi (who is pretty easy on the eyes regardless of what she is doing, lol) shooting airsoft steel challenge and it appears her gun is connected to an air compressor through the magazine. Wow! This would be so helpful, if that is true. I have tried finding some info on this, but have been unable to find anything. I even spoke to the local airsoft gun store and he wasn't that helpful. So, I thought I would throw it out here to see if anyone had any info.....anything would be helpful. Thank you in advance. I don't have enough posts to link a video, but if you do a search on YouTube for "Michelle Viscusi shoots Air Soft Steel Challenge" you will find the video.

10mmauto Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 I have my airsoft gun hooked to an air compressor. Here is a link to TacTrainers who can do the conversion: http://www.tactrainers.com/PRODUCTS_SERVICES.php By the way, I have many of their metal airsoft targets and I love them. They are mentioned in another thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trgt Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 I emailed Tactrainers on this also after I bought a bunch of his targets. He said he could do most gas ones, but he wanted a picture of the bottom of the magazine to confirm the particular model I had could be done. He could do gas, but not CO2 conversion. You could just ask him at: sales@tactrainers.com and tell him what you are running. I didn't get to pricing yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ParkerNash Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 I had TacTrainers do a mag conversion and like it a lot. I set my compressor to 90 psi and can shoot for hours in the garage. No risk of explosion or smell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danjordan78 Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 These guys do it for $25. Lots cheaper if you already have the air hose. If not you can find them easy enough. http://natechdev.com/?product=custom-gbb-magazine-conversion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any idea of turn around time once they receive my magazine? Thanks. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dtuns Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 I modified mine myself I run it at 100 psi runs good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torogi Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 For natech, are you running pistol? Im planning on doing one for my tokyo marui hi capa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flatland Shooter Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 For natech, are you running pistol? Im planning on doing one for my tokyo marui hi capa. In my case I plan on getting a magazine for the Wei 5.1 Hi Capa converted. I'm a little surprised that it takes 100 psi to run. I would have guessed closer to 25 psi. Now to figure a fast way to load the BBs. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-shot Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 (edited) This is nice, must buy. I just bought a compressor too...100 psi sounds a little too much in those mags but PSI is probably higher with green gas in the heat.

RGERBER875 Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 (edited) Yes, you need to spray silicon down the tubing at the air compressor end, i do it about every 200 - 300 rds. I train with John at Tac Trainers every week with Airsoft it's really uped my game, I am at 70,000 BB's his targets are great i can't say enough about this type of training.

10mmauto Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 +1 on John's targets. Top quality, well designed. I have the plate rack, steel challenge set and assorted others. They are addicting! http://www.tactrainers.com/collections/all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tochnost Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Hey All, Just ordered this part to convert my mag to run on a compressor for $15.00. It's a drop in part. I'll let you know how it goes when I install and run it next week. I shoot a KJW Hi-capa. http://www.evike.com/products/49287/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanSmith Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 How is everyone managing the air hose coming from the compressor to the gun/magazine? Do you let it trail down behind you or do you try to suspend it from the ceiling to keep it up off the floor and out father way? Any tips on moving with the air hose? Thanks.
