That is AWESOME. Absolutely genious. Exactly the design I have been looking for. With little smaller tank (diameter) and maybe encapsulate the tank with frame partially.
Lots of room for external regulator-chamber and regulator.

That just went to the top of the list of choises for my next project.
Thank you very much for posting.

I still have strong believe that it will work ๐Ÿ™‚

Standard Talon tank, regulator, regulator chamber and new firing valve to fit.

The regulator in the rear of package.

Thrilling moment. First time to check will it go inside. I turned…Read more

What is the force of Condor valve return spring?
Is it stronger or weaker than in Talon and SS ?

I just disasembled standard Talon valve and the spring feels really strong. Must be way over 50N if not 100N. This leads to another question; What is the main reason for valve-dump? I mean what actually happens in the gun when you shoot for…Read more

Found nice piece of software (free) from Parker about dimensioning O-rings. Contains also very deep stuff about material permeability tabels and other things you need to consider when designing good o-ring sealing. Definetelly very good source to understand o-rings little deeper.
