Recently i decided it would be appropriate to get of my arse and get a job. So i did, and its pretty well paying too, so hopefully i will soon stop annoying you with my 'what is' and 'what if' posts and have some completed guns up soon :)

Anyway, i was wondering if anyone knows what threading the end of this adapter is, it fits into a standard paintball gun.

It looks like 1/2" NPT, and i hope it is.

from zdspb.com:

"ASA threads- 1/2 NPS -Female threads only. The opposing male threads are smaller to allow clearance."

the threads on the end of that 12g adapter are considered ASA threads in the paintball world...

JSR has put them directly into a 1/2" BSP ball valve, I think.

Smaller, so they wouldnt fit into a normal 1/2" Female NPT properly?

If you can, send me a link? I just thought of something, and if that works then it would be perfect.

Pneumaticology, if all else fails, get a fitting that fits it as tightly as possible, screw it in until it won't move, then fill the gaps with jb weld or equally strong adhesive.
