CO2 Charging System
The CO2 Charging System uses a refillable 12 oz CO2
cylinder and a safety pressure regulator to provide pressure for the Antenna
Launchers.
This is very small and fast - filling up to launch takes only a few seconds,
and it fits into the PADS hard case.
It provides many launches per refill (approximately 30) and can be refilled
at a local paintball supply for a few dollars.
The PADS photo above actually contains two CO2 charging systems -
a 12 oz Paintball type system as described here and also a 12 gram bicycle tire
filling system. The 12 oz Paintball type bottle is inside the SDR21 barrel.
Can you find the regulator, the bicycle filler, and the 12 gram CO2
cartridges??
