pmi 5000 tank

[matt-c]

hey i am thinking about getting this for my mag. But i do have some questions. About how many shoots will i get out of the 45ci and the 68ci? Also is the 45ci smaller in diameter or is it just shorter? Also can co2 be ran through the secondary reg? Thanks for your help

You will get 11.1% more shots from a 5000 psi then from a 4500psi. Here is my math, its probably wrong
4500/500=9
9/100-11.11111111etc
So if you get about 500 shots from a 645ci tank, figure about 570 shots per tank. With the 68ci you get about 700 normally, so assume about 800.
My initial shots per tank arn't exact, and if anything are probably higher.
What do you mean can Co2 be run though the secondary reg? If you plan on using your nitro tank for Co2 you cannot unless you get a new reg for it. I don't think the 45 is much thinner than the 68. I have a 68, and its pretty small.

I just realized, I was talking about increasing a 3000psi tank by 11%. Dumb me.
880 from a 45, 1100 from a 68. Somewhere in there.

what i meant by the co2 is that this system comes with a screw in tank and a secondary asa/regulator. i was wondering if a co2 bottle can screw into the secondary reg in case i run out of hpa and am playing were i can't get it filled.

Before you buy a 5000psi tank make shore the store or field you go to has 5000psi fills avalible. and if you want a secondary reg for co2 get a plamer stabalizer.

no it can't screw in to the secondary reg

If you want to use Co2, then a Palmer Regulator can be used to help prevent liquid from entering the gun. However when running nitro, you don't want to have a reg on the gun.
