Well the plan is to now use a 48ci 3000PSI HPA ninja tank with a regulator to bring it down further to 100 psi max to fill the 3"x6" chamber between shots.

Im just deciding on how to mount the tank and reg. Looks like my only option is a palmers reg so this build is getting higher than I wanted but I can always salvage the air parts if the performance isnt worth the cost and build something different haha.

Very good on the design of your current gun. Can't wait to see what you have in store by using the ninja tank. I was also wanting to make one of those but i needed so much air in my chamber that one of those ninja tanks would only get me 8-10 shots.

Very nicely put together dhoffroad!

Not the most efficient or compact design, but very well made and finished and I'm sure it works a treat :)
