What about something like this?...
http://www.rap4.com/paintball/os/thunder-grenade-charger-with-regulator-p-1868.html

The small 12g cartridges would be handy enough. I know it's not as kick ass as the grenade thing but its better then carrying a full can of gas around with you.

Would Co2 be suitable for airsoft grenades and pistols?
Or even with the regulator would it not be suitable to refill our gas powered bits and bobs?

That's pretty much the same as the Madbull XC03. It's designed for grenades, not pistols, and even then, only certain grenades can take CO2 (I think Madbull are the only makers in airsoft actually).
CO2 will work in certain pistols, but not using that. You have to use 8g amplets in a special magazine. KJ do one such mag for their M9 which works rather well in the stock pistol if Docs is anything to go by.

Ladies and Gents, This is the off topic therad and all, so this is wayy off topic.,

I got pissed off with me laptop when it got a virus a while back and i broke off the CD tray, now miraculously the virus fecked off but i cant reinstall the OS to wipe everything and be sure its clean coz i smashed the CD tray. Sooo, i took out the tray a few mins ago, its kind of a quick release thingy. but i dont know where i would get a new one?
anyone got any ideas?

The laptop is a HP DV1000 and the model number on the CD tray is gwa-4082n.,

it'd be deadly if any of ya knew where to get one,.

Dude try a usb one saves the effort of finding a particular one like any of these bad boys http://shop.ebay.co.uk/items/_W0QQ_nkwZusbQ20cdQ20driveQQ_armrsZ1QQ_fromZR40QQ_mdoZ

I feel bad that your laptop was fecked, but I find it hilarious that your response was to open up the cd drive and snap the tray off.

Seagal would be proud.

Utter LOL. "It does not work, I will beat it and break bits off until it agrees to work again!"

There's a pattern emerging with this chap... It would make a good series of comedy sketches methinks.

Masada · 02-03-2009 09:57PM

rofl., well, it wasn't ment to be a solution., what was happening was, this bleedin virus thingy fecked up me google and i kept getting weird results in searches, then it kept randomly popping out the cd draw and that was gettin on my nerves, so i snapped and Karate chopped it off, then said, "aww bollix, now i cant reinstall the OS to get rid of the virus".,

Tonyj, I dont think i can use one of them since its for re doing the OS so it wont recognise the USB sockets when its all cleared? admittedly i know very little bout this stuff but thats what i thought would be the case.,

Ahh! that looks like what i need., except it seems to be out of stock., nice one man., if ya have any more links like that, well appreciated.,

NakedDex · 02-03-2009 10:02PM

I can honestly see you doing that. However, my first impression of what happened when I read the post was you remaining perfectly calm, opening the cd drive, snapping the tray right off and dropping it into a bin in a kind of "if you continue to defy me, you'll lose another important component every 5 minutes" intimidation tactic.

You actually do threaten your computer don't you...

StevieGriff · 02-03-2009 10:10PM

Thats the only one I could find apart from ones on american sites where the P&P is either stupidly high or doesnt cover the EU. Sorry..

You might be right, is this the laptop spec sheets
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bc/docs/support/SupportManual/c00444244/c00444244.pdf?jumpid=reg_R1002_USEN

If so page 127 shows the optical drives you can use.

DV1000 should be able to boot from a USB device so an external CD drive should work failing that you could pop the HDD throw it into another machine and install an OS that way.

It might work if ya make sure the iso file is in the hdd root not directory, but some bios's dont have a boot from exernal option.

Masada · 02-03-2009 10:35PM

err, see this is why i was hoping for a complete drive.,all these terms make my head spin, bios, hdd, root directorys and all that stuff.,

Neither method would require an iso, most HPs do tend to have fairly nuetered BIOSs but I don't think ive seen one that wont boot from an external device well nothing that was made in the last few years at least

Masada · 02-03-2009 11:08PM

rofl., yep, i might get him to help me out., although i was hoping i could fix it meself, Feel like a n00b when i have to get people to do things for me.,

Dread-Lock · 02-03-2009 11:17PM

Hey Richie first off I've been laughing my hole off for the past 10 minutes, as it's exactly what I would of done

:D:D.

I often get in arguments with my computers and I have completely punched in the front plastic paneling on one of them. (Took me ages to fix that mess

).

Since you've done me such a great deal on the SPR, if you want I will repair your laptop at cost price. If you want I'll reinstall your OS, etc as well. Please drop me a PM about it.

Wonder how many people felt like that when dragging twisted, broken, duct tape wrapped DIY catastrophies in to eirsoft

If you like and I have some free time soon I can drop out to the store and take a look at it or send some gear out with everybodies favorite cave troll if he is heading out soon.

weeder · 02-03-2009 11:20PM

i might have a spare laptop dvd drive sitting in the parts cupboard that you can have for the cost of postage, if you want it ill take a look later on

Don't be silly. No-one can know everything any more, the world's far too complicated these days. Besides, you're the go-to guy when an AEG needs fixing.
