Lets work on the design? It would be cool to make one but how powerful would it be and how long would one tank last?

Personally I would use an inline vortex block attached to a propane reg turned wide open, Im not sure what the flow standard are for regs are but the one I have doesnt seem to have a problem dumping gas fast enough for a bbmg.
I dont really know how long a tank would last cause Ive never tried it before.(I have a compressor)

Robbie at the SpudTech forums made a cloud that ran off a camping propane tank. He said it worked fine, although the tank froze up with too long off bursts and it smelled bad, but it was worth it.

Yea I am definatly going to do Vortex. Cloud would just waste too much propane. About the trigger. Blowgun attached to the tank somehow?

I have another quick question. Does any one know how much PSI those little torches have (the ones that was used Quite BB gun)?

Who really needs to "search up"? A vortex uses less than half the air a cloud does.

That's gross dude...(stuck in spit?!) Anyway, how about "green gas" for airsoft guns, wouldn't that work? I don't know anything about it, I just know it exists.
