How many shots from a 45ci tank? - Page 2

pizzaluvr · 02-21-2008, 09:58 PM

Seriously? Hmm.. I would have expected a lot more. I'll try my 68/45 on my Pyre and see how many I get. I expected more because, well.. IDK.. I've just always considered it an effecient marker. Sorta dissapointing.

Sorry for the delay reposting. I have an older crossfire bottle it is a 45/3000 it is bumble bee pattern colored if anyone remembers them. I going to get it rehydroed and put a new reg on it to use on my pump. It is high pressure right now. Would going low pressure be better?

I think this is pretty good efficiency as far as I am concerned. DCB claims to get over 30 shots on an unmodified S6 on 12 grams.

Yeah, i use about 1500 psi for 2 pods of 140.With 279-285 fps
But if i crank it to 290-297 then it an air hog!

These guns are not tuned for efficiency but more towards a light mainspring tension.

The efficiency numbers are reasonable especially considering that. If you sprung it for efficiency and maybe even changed the valve, it would have a harder pump stroke, but probably get some more shots.

Cunha is right.

Use a pre 99 valve - heavy valve spring - make a devolumizer and you have would have more efficiency... ofcourse you would have a pre 99 sniper too.... so why?

Ive been getting about 200 to 250 off of a 22/3000 since I tuned my Series 6. I am happy with those numbers.
