Efficiency on 3.5oz

hockeytown · 06-10-2008, 08:23 AM

I will be using my pump mag with classic valve this saturday, and I would like to know approximately how many shots I can expect from a 3.5 oz tank.

Thanks.

Maybe...100? Maybe 150? Not a lot.

That is more than I thought.

I run a 3.5oz on my minimag and I can get two full Q-Loader pods through it so that would be around 200. . .maybe that is freakish, but that is what I experience.

I ran a vertical 3.5 and got 4 winchester hoppers and a shotgun belt full 10 round tubes, so maybe 220ish

200-250 if your not firing super fast.

AGD says around 400 shots off a 7 oz. tank in the AutoMag manual. Normally that would mean 200 shots off a 3.5, but you have to remember that Mags can't shoot very low into the tank.

Also, I have no clue how being a pump affects efficiency in this case.

This really only matters for HPA. Once a C02 tank starts dropping pressure it's almost empty.

I get at least 200 shots on my Minimag (semi, but it shouldn't be much different).

you'll probably get better efficiency off co2 just because your shooting slower
