Well my adaptor came today, couldn't resist and had to toy with it. I bought a remote line from the paintball shop the other day after seeing a guy using one for bench shooting. The fill nipple that came with the remote doesn't have a check valve in it. The adaptor seems like it might have one built in but I didn't tear into it yet. Can anybody clarify for me? Anyway I used one of my paintball fill nipples with a check valve and the quick connect wouldn't fit it right. Found another on an old tank regulator that fit the connector so I used it. The stem in it for the chek valve didn't have enough depth in the adaptor to work so I had to remove it. Finally got it hooked up and connected it one of my HPA tanks. It's a 68ci 4500psi tank with a Gorilla Myth regulator on it. Should be ootputting around 800psi. Seemed to be shooting quite a bit harder than with the 12g CO2's. Haven't ordered a chrony yet so I'm in the dark about velocity. After shooting for a while it seemed a bit erratic so I emptied it and switched to a 20oz CO2 tank. Connected the remote and opened valve. I didn't attempt to fill the gun with liquid CO2 yet, just wanted to see how it would do with the big tank. Still seemed to be shooting harder than the 12g's but not as hard as the HPA. Groups seemed to tighten up a bit, but I'm not 100% sure. I was mainly just test running both systems. Here are a few pics of my messing around.

peace.

I have the same setup only with a 9 oz tank.  Mine also shoots a little stronger than with the co2 cartridges.  I get about 20 FPS more.  My gun has been tuned by Mike in Iowa so your results may vary.  I managed to pickup a total of 50-60 fps by removing the piercing pin from the valve.

Good luck with your bulk.
