Each of those boxes has 50 12-grams in them.

That's like 12-grams for life!

:)

:wow: I could use a box... ;)

I will pm you with my info :p . I would be sitting around screwing one in then taking it out real fast and seeing how long I could bare to hold onto it. :D

Auto trigger FTW!

Nice find!

I had a deal a while back to grab aroud 200 12g's for $20, best deal I ever made, still have at least half of them.

These are actually all going to a single customer - the US Army in Afghanistan!

Gun f/x, which is essentially the military side of PTP is shipping a large number of simulation systems to a training command in Afghanistan.

nice...

But I'm too cheap for twelvies, 3.5s FTW

[Andrewliu6294]

i will take your 3.5 and raise it up to a 20 on my sniper. :cool:

not sure why, I just like the bigger wider tanks. Still under 6lbs for a fully loaded open SC pump.

but thats a lot of 12 grams...how long do you think that'll last the army? :wow:
its gotta at least take some time to ship it overseas...no air.

how long do you think that'll last the army? :wow:
Not long. :)

Do these have a shelf life? I was playing a stock class tourny in 2006 where the field was supplying the 12 grams, and a bunch of teams were complaining about these (the 12 grams) They started weighing them and some were considerably lighter than others, leading us to believe that they must leak out over time. Anyone ever here of this?

[Old School 626]

THey probably do have a shelf life, I have some that are 15 years old and I only get 15-20 shots out of them when I should get around 40ish

If those come up for sale, give me a holler with the price for 2-3 boxes.

12grams don't leak. Some manufacturers simply make bad cartridges.

[rabidchihauhau]

well, actually, 12-grams AND steel or aluminum bottles DO leak - but its on a molecular scale, so its very, very slow.

I've had the same issue with 'new' 12-grams. its either bad quality control on the mfg side - or someone shaving a few pennies...

[rabidchihauhau]

Guys, I screwed up.

Each of those boxes has 150 12-grams in them - NOT 50.

Triple your fun!

IIRC the "extream rage" brand of 12ies were bad and i think BE's were bad at least at one point. if you have a choice go with crossfire, those have been the most tried and true. also when weighing them you need to weight before and after and then use the difference a your co2 weight (just making sure everyone remembers that)

I know for a fact that old Crossman 12's can leak. I recently found some that were well over 15 years old from a time when a buddy let me borrow his Crossman pellet revolver for a while. I tried them in one of my pumps and they were either totally dead, no hiss at all, or only gave me a few shots to around 4 to 15. This was for around 8 of them. Out of the 8 I'm pretty sure 3 were totally empty or just gave one little fart and expired and the rest had enough for that radom 4 to 15 number of dry fires.
