I think that's the one.

It didn't use CO2 directly inside the magazine though.

It had an adapter (sortof like a lanyard looking coiled hose that screwed in where the fill valve would normally go) that attached to a 12 gram CO2 rig.

It was a bit awkward, but they included a regular fill valve, so I switched to that.

The coiled CO2 "remote" thing would clip on a belt, and the hose had a quick-detach, so you could switch from one magazine to another if you had to reload.

All in all, it was hellishly weird to use, so I stuck to using the regular valves and propane.

Until it went wonky, it was a cool gun to have, and I got mine used for really cheap, so it was a win/win situation (till it broke).

If you can find an affordable source, and you think you might really like to try it, just make sure it's coming from a "casual spending" fund, and then you won't be too upset if it goes bizarre on you.

The more likely scenario is that you get luckier than I did, and you buy one that doesn't give up on you for at least a little while.

For reference, I believe Western Arms makes one, and I have no idea about it. As for other companies, I'm not sure.

**Keep in mind, this was a while ago, and it isn't by a commonly used company, so there will be little in the way of tech-support for it, and hard to get replacement parts. Also, it's pretty subjective. I'd love to recommend getting your hands on one first, but it doesn't seem likely**
