I've seen some external rigs for pistols and GBBRs that interface... something, probably replacing the fill valve with an adapter for a macroline to a compressed air tank, like the ones for paintball.

It would have advantages, compressed air is super constant, so shot consistency is perfect. Gas guns also get to play out in the winter since output isn't affected by the cold, so it would almost be the best solution to shot in the snow.

However just like an AEG, some models would be prone to explode themselves apart. Kinda. Cold metal becomes brittle and shatters.

Neat idea, but unlike classic airsoft guns that have a single line from the gun to the external tank, lines have to plug to the mags, so you either need a quick disconnect on each mag, carry a single mag or end up with an octopus like setup of multiple lines to your mags.

... still would like to try it out.
