How to reuse CO2 cartridges

[@2manygunz]

I made a similar thing myself. Its only used to test Co2 guns and magazines for leaks. I struggle to get 200 psi into it so theres no way it would fire any of my guns.

[@taranta]

My friend, I can't imagine why you can't shoot it. If the cartridge come from the factory loaded with 800 psi and a pistol is capable of shooting between 20, 30 and 40 shots per cartridge, depending on the power of the pistol, divide it and the result is much less than 200 psi. I did this for a spearfishing gun that does require quite a bit of power psi, because shoot a harpoon including the counterforce of the sea pressure, however it shoots.

yo hice ese procedimiento pero hace 5 años pero sí utilicé ácido y una soldadura de aleación para poder unir los metales para que quede una buena unión y funciona muy bien pero con mucho cuidado porque sí se va a utilizar CO2 es peligroso

[@taranta]

Gracias, es peligroso así mismo como dices tú, por eso no se lo recomiendo a que lo hagan.

I believe brazing would be the technique you want. Not soldering

[@taranta]

Aluminum has a very low melting temperature, that's why I use silver with tin.

[@imconsequetau5275]

Braising alloy for Aluminum.

[@luciferlight5082]

How is it possible to fill that with 850psi ? A car tire only has 35psi to compare

[@taranta]

I do not recommend filling up to that amount of psi, this is only for one shot.

Can someone tell me where I can get that magical solder that joins steel and brass??

[@taranta]

My friend, that solder is made of tin and the paste is water-based flux, but let me tell you that the joint that was soldered is brass and aluminum. When soldering bronze and steel, it is best to use tin-silversolder with acid-based flux. In the video of the link that I show you below the weld is for stainless steel and brass. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mp7SpJaenNVmd9Usi=AKi6hvsdsLEfXXqa

[@taranta]

You can buy it online and in almost all hardware stores.

[@CarlSperg]

AliExpress, temu etc

[@AL-kq5es]

Can I use a soldering iron to solder those two together or does it have to be from a blow torch?

[@taranta]

I don't know! It has to be a high watt iron point, I can't tell you about something I've never do.

[@parapentemoamoa6109]

Genial

[@GimmeEd]

What about the metal shavings that fell into the CO2 cartridge ? That's not going to be good for the gun....

[@taranta]

Good point, I realized after I soldered it, but there is a solution, the stems can removed from the valve and clean inside, anyway I didn't do it because it is not a problem in this pneumatic gun that i made.

[@franciscorangelarteaga5054]

yo usé chronotron para unir los metales y y quedará macizo y bien Unido es mi humilde comentario gracias

[@taranta]

Amigo mío a mi me gusta hacer videos para descomplicarle la vida a la gente. En el video use estaño con plata, que está entre las mejores soldadura para la unión entre el aluminio y el bronce, porque tiene una resistencia de 15000 psi, suficiente para este tipo de trabajo y un punto de fusión muy por debajo del cartucho de aluminio y el bronce o latón de lo que está hecha la válvula, ya que el aluminio y el bronce se pueden derretir antes que otros tipos de soldadura, saludos.

Life is too short. They're so cheap.

[@taranta]

The real millionaires before becoming millionaires, they was so cheap😀😃😄

[@henrybruening8889]

WTF ?

[@markp4818]

must suck being so poor that you have to go through all of that BS work just to reuse a 50 cent CO2 cartridge...

[@taranta]

My friend, you think so, but almost all millionaires value cents as the basis of their capital. Besides, it is not work when you enjoy what you do and you save time going to buy or order new cartridges.🙂
