I have a question about the gas efficiency of my mag. I bought it from my brother a while ago, and it has a lvl 10 and a retro valve with I think a reactive trigger. I have a 68/3000 PMI hp tank, and I am getting about 3 1/2 to 4 hoppers (halo b) from one fill. Is this average? or below? to me it seemed like that wasnt as much as I should be getting. Any help would be appreciated :confused:

that doesn't seem too bad. A general rule of thumb for 3000psi to get the # of shots is to multiply the size of the tank by 10. For 4500psi tanks multiply by 15.

So for a 68/3000: 68 x 10 = 680 is about 3.5 x 190 = 665

Ok, that makes sense, thank you. and I have another quick question, is the reactive trigger just a part of the retro valve? or is it something that my brother got seperately? I cant really ask him any of this stuff because he has been out of town for a few weeks

its a built in thing of the valve but a ult will get rid of it... or make it more rt-ish
