Hi all.
Can someone give me leads on filling up the CO2 cylinder that comes alongwith the IHP Air Pistol, in Bangalore area?
I tried a few shops in Jayanagar, but the shop keeper refused, citing recent blasts :(

I had. Basically, I cannot go in for a big (the 2' one) cylinder which I can keep at home, and only needed contacts where I could fill in the small one, on and off...

Normally industrial and medical gas suppliers will fill the cylinder up for you. Or look for a friend who has metal work done. He might have a large Co2 cylinder. If you have a adapter or filling tool made by them then you are in the gravy 8) .

Thanks all for the help.
I have the smaller IHP cylinder, plus the adapter given with it. I can ix it to a larger cylinder and refill.
But I liked Striker's idea, and will try to get one of that. Will try to source it tom.
Will also post a pic of the set that I have tom.

I get about 12 refills from the small one to the gun, and get about 50 to 20 shots per refill, which starts to reduce as the refill count gets higher. SO, 1st refill gives about 50 shots, and the 12th refill gives about 20 shots. Sometimes the climate matters a lot, and I have noticed that if I refill in a colder climate, I get more refills.

I tried theMr. Butler stuff today, but the nozzle does not match either the adapter, the CO2 pistol or the cylinder I have. I would have to make another adapter to match the Mr. Butler stuff and the Pistol, but it will require another type of adapter that will pinch open the needle that Mr. Butler has.
Any suggestions?
