By robin from USA on 2011-08-28 08:49:32 Things I liked:makes the gunalot better to shoot. use with high pressure air instead of c02. co2 freezes the gun up.also go to drozdmax for a full auto update mod. unleashes the full power of the gun..Things I would have changed:longer hose What others should know:buy it. you will not waste money on little c02 cartridges any more. plus when you use the 12gram co2 most of the time only one tube pierces. no more wasted co2. use hpa.do not go over 800 psi at the gun or bad things will happen. enjoy |  |

By edmon from USA on 2012-07-24 15:59:41 Things I liked:noneThings I would have changed:exchange for the one that works or a refund What others should know:it leaked air at the connector and wasted a whole co2... |
- Things I liked:The install is easy into the Umarex Steel Storm magazine. No leaks is great and good quality.
Things I would have changed:The adapter was more than half the cost of the Umarex Steel Storm, but in the long run, it should be worth it to convert to bulk CO2. Maybe a 50% longer coiled hose to help with mobility while shooting.
What others should know:Get lots of BBs and the 9 ounce bulk tanks seem to work the best for me in a sling or belt holster. The 20 ounce bulk tanks make mobility while shooting harder. - Things I liked:Easy to install, solid feel and not too bulky. I shot 3-20oz. tanks through the Air Venturi without a problem. If you own a SteelStorm you must buy this product you will be satisfied.
Things I would have changed:Install a release valve to relieve pressure before disconecting.For $49.95 this should be on the adapter already.
What others should know:Make sure to close off air flow from tank then unscrew Venturi slowly from tank to relieve pressure.DO NOT DISCONNECT THE QUICK RELEASE VALVE ATTACHED TO GUN BEFORE THIS IS DONE!!! - Things I liked:Easy to install, No permanent modifications to the gun, Easily switched back to 12g co2.
Things I would have changed:Nothing
What others should know:Nice power boost. Very easy to install - Things I liked:My earlier review of this product stands but i failed to give it the proper five star rating in both the Overall and Value categories. I hadn't had my coffee yet!
Things I would have changed:See the previous rating, I would make the stretched out length of the hose available in a shorter length. ( I used a black plastic flashlite modified to hold an 88 gram CO2 cylinder, JB Welded to the right side of the steel storm. This works very well except for the excessively long tubing.)
What others should know:See the previous rating. - Things I liked:Very easy to use. Very well built.
Things I would have changed:I'd offer a shorter version with only a 1' to 1.5' hose.
What others should know:If the open/close control-knob comes loose (unscrews), simply apply some good epoxy (ie JBWeld) to the threads and reinstall it. - Things I liked:none
Things I would have changed:exchange for the one that works or a refund
What others should know:it leaked air at the connector and wasted a whole co2... - Things I liked:More fun, less filling
Things I would have changed:Nothing about the product - It could be a little less expensive but it seems to be a well made product so I don't mind what I paid for it.
What others should know:This is the must-have accessory for the Steel Storm. The 'Storm is decent with the double CO2 cartridges but this makes the gun an all-day (or afternoon if you're REALLY trigger happy) affair. Carrying a 20oz bottle (I put mine in a shoulder sling bag) is not as handy but I would much rather take that option over the small guys. Mine did include instructions and the valve is now labeled. It was easy to install and so far (I'm on my 2nd 20oz fill) I haven't had any issues with it. - Things I liked:Easy to install, remove 3 screws and 1 C02 piercing wheel, leave the other in with one spent C02 cart. Quick disconnect.
Things I would have changed:Longer coil to reach ground otherwise you gotta hold it.
What others should know:Fittings blackened, not chrome. - Things I liked:Easy to install & works like it supposed to and a must have for a machine gun.
Things I would have changed:Nothing.
What others should know:Make sure you buy plenty of BB's. - Things I liked:awesome product
Things I would have changed:nothing
What others should know:buy it -it kicks assCommentsBy Shelby from USA on 2011-12-23 0 
I want to know if you can use this adapter on other co2 guns? - Things I liked:makes the gunalot better to shoot. use with high pressure air instead of c02. co2 freezes the gun up.also go to drozdmax for a full auto update mod. unleashes the full power of the gun..
Things I would have changed:longer hose
What others should know:buy it. you will not waste money on little c02 cartridges any more. plus when you use the 12gram co2 most of the time only one tube pierces. no more wasted co2. use hpa.do not go over 800 psi at the gun or bad things will happen. enjoy - Things I liked:Works great
Things I would have changed:None
What others should know:My steelstorm worked fine for the first few shots and then I attached this adaptor and as soon as I did within 2 minutes the trigger stopped working, and I really would like to know why. I was a couple days over the 30 day warrenty and was told to call the manufactor. - Things I liked:Easy to install, works as advertised. More than can be said for the Steel Storm itself. I have had four of them now, not one has lasted through the 90 day warranty! There is a small pot metal part attached to the trigger that breaks after a few weeks of normal use. After this the gun is very use full as a paper weight. Replace this piece of crap part and the gun could last for years. With regards to the adapter I like that the CO2 flow adjustment knob screw off all the way.
Things I would have changed:Replace that pot metal part with a STEEL part.
What others should know:The Steel Storm is a great little gun, until that trigger part breaks. And that doesn't take long. For gods sake fix it! I don't mind paying a little more for a gun that will not become a door stop in less than 90 days - Things I liked:Easy to install and use.
Things I would have changed:None.
What others should know:A must have for the Umarex Steel Storm to provide best performance. - Things I liked:works great. No leaks
Things I would have changed:Nothing
What others should know:I want another one - Things I liked:Does what it was intended to do.
Things I would have changed:For the price, include spare seals, instructions, and discount a spare CO2 cartridge magazine.
What others should know:Cannot readily switch back and forth between bulk and cartridge CO2 - Things I liked:The seemingly endless power when connected to a 20oz. tank. It's a blast no pun intended, but wow!!!!! I connected it to the Steel Storm, I am impressed. This is an absolute must for this gun. I have an older model pistol that excepts the venturi, has the same f.p.s. and thread design.
Things I would have changed:There are 2 that I did find. It needed a lock-nut(jam-nut) 10mm. at connection spot. I used 2 one on either side. The gas valve needs to be marked which direction is open/closed.
What others should know:There are no instructions with the unit, even though it is relatively self explanatory. Remember to oil the tip or the seal and don't over/under tighten the venturi pipe or it will leak. Once I did a little trouble shooting and got everything dialed in I haven't had a problem yet. I know your going to have a lot of fun whatever gun you decide to connect the venturi to. I do know that the valve is factory set at 430 fps so that's the limit. However I would not connect this unit to any gun under 400 fps it will probably ruin it. - Things I liked:Bulk co2
Things I would have changed:Cost. Way too much for what it is. The female quick disconnect leaked on mine. I sent it back for exchange. Maybe I just got unlucky?
What others should know:Female quick disconnect leaked on the first one I got - bad o-ring. Maybe I just got unlucky. - Things I liked:Allows me to sling steel without having to reload CO2 cartridges. Good times.
Things I would have changed:There are no instructions included on how to install this adapter. It is fairly simple to take apart the existing CO2 clip but I think an instruction sheet would have completed the package.
What others should know:Essentially you are paying for a coiled remote hose and an adapter that has to be installed in your CO2 clip. The "adapter" is just a tube milled to fit the existing CO2 clip at one end and a foster fitting at the other. I would have rather paid $50 for a replacement CO2 clip with the foster fitting but no coiled remote hose. That way I could retain a fully functioning CO2 clip.

Things I would have changed:I would have place the filling tube on the other side so that the filler would be at the back of the gun rather than at the front of the handle.
What others should know:A Great investment for CO2 Lovers, but maybe changing it into a PCP might increase your savings.
