🔸 To turn an air TUBE gun into a BOTTLE gun....
🔸 To turn a SMALL bottle gun into a BIG bottle gun....

➔ For that, we need something like a Bottle-Step-Down Adapter — because bottles/ bigger bottles have a larger diameter and otherwise would not fit under the shroud. 😟


I've seen those adapters for the Avenger, the Prod, and a genius made one for a PP700 once.
There is even an OEM by FX for its Dreamline.


🔷 Retorical questions:
▪ Why are there not more adapters and step-down-adapters available — OEM or aftermarket?

â–ª Why do manufacturers mount the bottles so close to the shroud that only small diameter bottles can be used?


🔷 Real question:
â–ª Would someone make a step-down adaptor (for the RTI Prophet I Compact Performance)?
How hard can this be? (Yes, I'm pretty ignorant when it comes to engineering, please use fuel sparingly when flaming me, remember the outrageous fuel prices.)

The photo shows how the adapter steps down the air reservoir connector in order to allow a large diameter bottle to be mounted, instead of a small diameter air tube (Dreamline).

I think if I were wanting to expand the air capacity of my Prophet, rather than trying to find a step down adapter, I would be looking for something more like this.

Being that your requirement is somewhat specific to your airgun, there are a couple things you could do.
Alibre CAD - They have an inexpensive CAD software that you could draw up your specific adaptor needed. Once you have all the tolerances and dimensions figured out, send the file to a machine shop. Based on the size it shouldn't cost more than a $100 bucks or so. Or send your gun to someone with the Bottle you want to use and have them make it.
The market segment for specific modes are very small so the manufactures have to make cost decisions based what they think will sell the numbers to cover the cost of R&D.
