Progressive Airsoft, an airsoft company based in  Świdnica, Poland, got an interesting product called the Hunter Hybrid HPA Conversion Kit... "HUNTER is a hybrid HPA engine designed for installation in electric gun replicas equipped with V2 and V3 gearboxes. It is called a hybrid for it combines the best features of electric drives along with the performance and capabilities of HPA systems. It allows to transform the drive of a gun replica from purely electrical to gas. Depending on the length of the barrel and the set pressure, it may serve as the drive for replicas intended for CQB as well as the strongest sniper rifle replicas.

HUNTER replaces the cylinder and piston assembly. In contrast to other such solutions, the kit uses some of the elements from the conventional AEG system. Its main characteristic is the use of pinions and electric engine to open the valve, which is the base for any HPA conversion kit. Power offered by such combination ensures seamless work in each pressure range as well as simplifies the construction. What distinguishes the functioning of HUNTER from AEG systems are, besides excellent performance, negligible forces affecting the elements within the replica. It is not possible to damage the construction, its front-end is not subject to any strain whatsoever. Furthermore, the functioning of pinions in HUNTER conversion kit at the highest permissible pressure corresponds just to a fraction of work on springs with the lowest denominations. Thanks to this solution as well as the design that prevents jams described below, damaging the pinions becomes almost impossible."
