Running out of air quickly (my mag is a gas Hog) Help!!!

[jewie27]

I have a RT valve in my minimag,
and using a PMI Pure Energy 68CI 3000 Psi tank. The gun seems to be using excessive air and I have to refill every 3 to 4 games. Can you guys help me? Its it the tank or are mags just like that?

3-4 games? I have a crossfire 68ci 3000psi tank and if I'm actually playing and not just crusing behind a bunker, I have to refill my tank after every game. You should be getting at least 600+ shots from a full fill.

At most you should get 700 shots out of a 68/3000, 3000psi=10 shots per ci 4500psi=15 shots per ci

yea i have a nito duck 68/3k and it gets like 650. Its norma but mags are also gas hogs and need alot of prasur to reock. A guy at skirmih as tellin me that hen i get to like 1k psi and i acts up it isnormal cuz guns like th mag and m98 are gas hogs nd ned lots f preasure to rcock

unhh...maglovercoco, no mags don't need any pressure to re-cock..the spring does that...what they do need...is more pressure to overcome the resistance of the spring. They aren't really gashogs...they just need high prssure air to be used No less than 400 psi (that pushing it)

hey bro lets step up to the plate and try a little english.

Mags arent gas hogs.... Go shoot a matrix or a shocker. Those guns are PIGS! But if you would like to get more shots per tank you can try a few things. Turn the velocity down a bit. You wont shoot as far and you'll have more bouncers on your targets, but you'll get more shots per tank. Also, you should try a non-ported barrel. Ports do 2 things: make the gun quiet, and make it less efficient. Despite what you may have heard, heavily ported barrels arent any more accurate than non-ported ones. Also, make sure that your paint matches your barrel. A bad match can kill your efficiency (not to mention your accuracy!).

Hey guys,
Thanks for your input. I guess there is nothing to worry about.
By the way, FrAuStY is right, the bolt spring re-cocks the gun.
