Hi guys,

I just picked up an Automag 68 p/f, and I am very happy with it despite it being older and more common then the RTs or eMags (which I am highly interested in)..

The gun came with an older 48ci bottle, which is within it's hydro date.

My problem is, I go through that tank like it is nothing. At 2000psi, it lasts maybe 2 hoppers. I am wondering if the Automag itself is just an airhog or if maybe that is the correct numbers. Should 2000psi last roughly 400-500 balls?

I've checked for leaks, if there is one, it's incredibly small because nothing is obvious.

I've also changed the steel braided lines for good measure and put new teflon on all the threads. I have yet to test it after changing the line.

Any ideas are helpful...also any suggestions for proper ways to check for leaks on this gun would be great...

actually those are some great numbers from only having 2k in the tank....

usally fig 10 X xxci of tank to figure out shots on a 3k tank

so a 47ci3k tank should yield approx 470 shots from the tank on a full fill
