Well as in my sig ya can see i have two markers.

wel i run the Nitro tank on both and seem to get more shots out of it on the Tippmann than on the MiniMag and was wondering if that was due to the Higer rates of fire i shoot with the Mag or just the Mags nature of design.

Either way i plan to get a bigger HPA tank for the mag eventually (Once i can actually afford to play agin :confused: )

Your Pro-Carbine is more air efficent than Mags. Do you have the level10? That will eat up some air.

Not installed the level 10 yet but thinking of selling it instead of installing it due to the efficatcy thing.

As for the carbine i can consitanly get around 470-500 GOOD shots out of the 48ci 3000psi HPA tank at 250fps. While the mag seems to struggel to get 450 out of it at the same velocity.

I dont quiet understand it myself as by design the mag looks more eficant but ion the feil im seeing differant. I though maybe cause i fire the mag Alot faster than i fire the Carbine but i dont know. I also wonder if by fluke i just not getting as good a fill on the mags uses as the carbines lol but either way its not a big differance or a concern as i wanted a bigger HPA 68 4500psi for the Mag any ways due to my tendancy for higer paint consuption with it :D .

Don't sell it. Install it and get a bigger tank. They are well worth it.

Well i dont really have a driving need for the level ten i bought it as it was the MUST have acseory for a mag but i have yet to chop a ball with it unless it was REALLY crappy paint and in that case i just use the carbine witch is easier to clean out.

It may be a nice upgrade but i dont see the need for it and kinda wish i put the $$ toward a ULE bodie and Barrel.

450 off a 47/3000 is about average for a mag. Get a larger tank when you can. Dont sell your Tippmann.

on the subject, i was at the local shop today and there was a guy who said there is a new gun coming out called Diablo Wraith that gets 3000+ shots off 5 oz co2 tank....

Of course I didn't believe him, but he says he'll have his friend bring it in so we can shoot it.

:rolleyes: :rolleyes:

3000 shot off a 5oz tank, hard to believe

are we talking .68 balls @ 280-300 fps?

if not, then it is certainly possible... (i.e. smaller paintballs, lower velocity, etc...)

Hell no i never getting rid of the tippy its NEVER let me down and is ALWAYS ther to back me up. Its more accurate than my Mag at the moment and is stupily simple to keep up.

I will eventualy get bigger tank ad a ULE body with a Better barrel for thr Mag ut till then i Still prefer shooting the tippy for the big games. The mags used basically only for indoor and speedball.
