Would it be a bad idea to pressurize a pneumatic gun with oxygen, rather than air. I have tanks handy and could rig a gauge pretty easily.
 
A very bad idea indeed. Oxygen under pressure and oil are an EXPLOSIVE mixture. Pressurised oxygen equipment has to be degreased to remove even the most minute trace of oil or grease. Pneumo guns are part filled with oil. BAD idea.
