Heyall, does anyone know where to find a solenoid for co2 system?? I've found them at BA for 120+$ and eBay for 60... Anyone know where I can get one for a little less?

Killer..... I'd need to bring the preasure down from the paintball tank correct? As it probably only accepts 100psi on the inlet.. (correct me if i am wrong)...

I am by no means an expert, but having taken my solenoid apart recently to clean it, I am very comfortable in saying that there is no way it could handle the full 800psi output of a paintball tank (assuming no regulator.)

Sorry

I really hope you're implying you also have a regulator, otherwise you're risking seriously bodily harm, or worse, by opening any compressed cylinder without a regulator firmly attached.

Yes yes. I have a regulator attached... I may just not thought my question through before asking...
