I remember taking a CO2 airsoft pistol, putting a carbon fiber .25 ID barrel on it, and modifying the mech to shoot with 4-5 times the amount of gas.

Not a good idea. That little sucker is like a semiautomatic rifle.

Just as loud too.

It's a neat mod, but I already have an airgun (Beeman RS-2) that shoots 1200 fps, and has 2 interchangeable  barrels (.177 and .22). And it also shoots darts. I'd be afraid this mod would only result in a lot of ruined blowgun darts, which are way more expensive than pellets.

Ive got airguns too. but they aren't semiautomatic.

Just be careful people if you do decide to try this.

 

Amen, Hrawk.

This old thread is a good place for a reminder. These pressurized rigs can certainly be deadly, as well as efficient when used for hunting much, much larger animals than standard blowgun fare. High power air "rifles" have existed for a great number of years, taking game from deer all the way up to jungle beasts. Creativity with a blowgun and a handful of other pieces, can easily be cobbled into something much greater than the sum of it's pieces. I say go boldly forward in this direction, in pursuit of the next level. It is achievable. So, I implore you to go cautiously forward , but go. The ideas and combinations are virtually unlimited.

Cheers and happy hunting,
