Hilario, I have a couple Avanti tanks from my 888 and thought of that too.  But why connect a 2.5 oz tank when a 9 oz fits great?

[HILMAN76]

I FOUND OUT THAT THE 3.5oz CO2 tanks HAVE ON/OFF VALVES ON THEM. SO I WONT HAVE TO ORDER THAT EXTRA PIECE. I LIKE THE 3.5oz SIZE FOR THE QB79.YOURE DEFINITLY RITE ON ABOUT THE 2.5oz TANK BIENG SMALL AND ON TOP OF THAT IT COST SOMETHING LIKE $55 BUCKS.I CAN GO A LITTLE BIT BIGGER AND ITS A WHOLE LOT CHEAPER..IM GOING TO FORGET ABOUT USING THE 88GRAM CO2 TUBES BECOUSE IN THE LONG RUN I WILL SAVE ME $OME CA$H BY FILLING UP THE PAINT BALL TANKS. I WILL ALSO PURCHASE A 9oz BOTTLE TO HAVE ON THE SIDE..THANKS ANDY..OH YEA, ILL NEED A BLOCK KIT ALSO:emoticon:

The standard "pin valve" paintball co2 tanks  will seal the tank to off automatically when they are unscrewed from the gun...it's basically like the valve stem on a car tire.  BUT whatever co2 is in the gun will vent out.

The on/off type 3.5oz. tanks (and you once could get hose on/off type tanks in 9oz. as well) are only sealed shut when the knob is moved to "off".  Will still vent the gas inside the gun once the tank is unscrewed.  BTW: even off the gun, if you turn the valve to "on" the tank will jet out it's co2.

IF you add a seperate on/off to the rifle, then when it is turned to "off", the rifle will retain whatever co2 is in the gas tube when the paintball tank is removed....kind of like a mini-bulk fill once the tank is detached. There isn't a lot of volume inside a QB79 tube, so it wouldn't hold a lot of shots once it is gassed up and the tank detached, but would get at least a few full power shots that way.

Smart Parts on/off:


Rap 4 guaged on/off (this one has an HPA tank attached, but the brass on/off astayes on the rifle):

WOULD THAT BE THE FIRST PICTURE? THAT SEEMS TO BE THE EASYEST. THANK YOU DEAN, THAT WAS SUPER COOL OF YOU TO SHOW ME YOUR SETUP AND THE GREAT INFO   IM GLAD I FOUND GTA FORUMS FOR ALL MY NOOB QUESTIONS. I WILL BE ORDERING THE QB79 AND TALK TO MIKE M. TO TUNE HER UP..I AM TRYING TO FIGURE OUT AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE BEFORE I ORDER..THANKS AGAIN DEAN

[ribbonstone]

Yep...first picture is with the Smart parts on/off.  Does add the length of the on/off to the tank, but they will let you retain the co2 in the rifle and take a paintball off.

The 88 gram tanks can get expensive. Look into getting some paintball tanks either 9 oz  or 3.5 oz.
