weird Part

weekendballer · 03-11-2007, 11:38 PM

i got it with some stuff off of ebay and i don't know what it is. the top is threaded the same as a co2 bottle and the bottom excepts a co2 bottle. Is it some sort of old expansion chamber?

This isn't by chance one of those old time universal anti-siphons is it? No, that makes no sense...

The female threads, does that arm swivel by chance?

I guess if it were screwed into a standard bottom line, it could be a drop of sorts.

But what do I know, I'm as lost as you.

i didn't realize it swiveled. i have played with it much because all of the o rings are rotted off.

I dont know what it is but I know how I would use it. On the front of a VM to run a bigger tank!

LOL I halfway figured but wasn't sure. Still cool as hell.

or to drop a backbottle gun down to make sighting with it easier?

I don't remember the exact name, but they were used for moving your tank to the left or right depending on which hand you shot with. They came out at the very beginning of the speedball era.
