Damn.
I went through 2 20oz tanks today on my new mag *only 900 shots total. The first tank was an anti-siphon on a bottomline. The second tank, i put on an expansion chamber and used a 20oz on a remote.
Is there something I'm doing wrong (I really don't want to go buy a HP system) so is there a way I can get more shots?

Um... sounds like: A. You have a leak. B. You're not filling up your tank much. or C. You own a shocker. :) Tee hee.

Are you sure you got 20 oz. of Co2? Like Miscue mentioned, I got better efficiency on my Shocker.

i did the same thing with my mag once i got it... the velocity turned out to be at 400 FPS! when i went to the field the next week.. it was eating gas alive.. once i got it down to the 260fps limit at the field... it worked just fine.. 1000-1200 shots out of a 20oz tank... another thing.. dont let the liquid co2 get into the valve, that just eats more gas

hope this solves your problem... if it is tuned to around 250 fps already.. you definetely have a leak or something going on... good time to use one of your stars.. send the valve in to get rebuilt by AGD, that should fix it if nothing else does

Find yourself a repair kit, change out the o-rings & if that doesn't fix it, come back here & ask more quastions :cool:
