How many shots should i expect from a 20 oz. co2 paintball tank?

Question

I own a tippmann a-5 and a 20 oz. co2 tank. About how many shots should i expect to be able to fire? I think that i shot around 650 balls and my tank doesnt have enough co2 to turn the cyclone feed. Is this normal or did my tank leak at some point.

Answer 1

Ok, ill answer your question honestly. A 20oz. co2 tank is supposed to get around 900 shots per fill. With the tippmann, around 7-800 is expected. If your getting around 600, either they didn't fill it all the way, or your screwing the co2 tank on and off and air is coming out everytime. I would say this is normal for the gun to not have enough air to turn the cyclone feed, but 650 shots is very low with a 20oz. co2 tank.

The compressed air tanks are greater effective than the cO2 tanks. THe co2 you cant use in chilly climate b/c it freezes. I truthfully have not heard of it leaking greater beneficial than the co2. If i've got been you i might get a compressed air tank even with the undeniable fact that it would not try this extremely greater. the co2 is effective in case you casualy play. i might get a HPA tank while you're greater serouse and get a greater effective gun in case you have been incredibly into the sport. The issues you have now are effective yet once you prefer to be incredibly serouse then you definately could improve. The Compressed air is a sturdy thought the CO2 is effective yet you cant use it in chilly climate. good good fortune.
