anti-siphoning hidden problem?
okay...say you start out using a regular 20oz. co2 tank and you get 1100 shots with it. because the tank also has liquid in it, and the tank isn't anti-siphoned, liquid co2 is also used to acquire said 1100 shots. now, pretend i turned the 20oz. into an anti-siphon tank. would it end up getting a lot less shots per fill because it would not also be using liquid co2 to shoot balls? i just thought i'd bring this up because everyone recommends anti-siphoning, but would you actually be sacrificing a good amount of shots per fill because your gun doesn't take in any liquid co2?

In my opinion, I don't think that you will be sacrificing many (if any shots) because the liquid turns into a gas at correct temps inside the tank. Anti-syphon is only a good thing...only real downside to it i guess is that the tank won't work on other guns very well after that. Make sure you mark which part of the tank the syphon is on so taht you don't screw it in on a different side and then ruin the gun

nope, you shouldn't lose any shots. you're right about the liquid co2 being critical to getting more shots, but it evaporates into a gas before its useable anyway : ) the one thing with an anti-siphon, is that you can only really use it on the ASA that its set up for. otherwise you run the risk of it sucking up straight liquid, and thats just not good..Comment

I would think that you would get more shots from an anti-siphon tanks because only Co2 gas is being used. If you were using a standard co2 tank and happened to get some liquid in, wouldn't the gun be more likely shoot at a higher velocity because the Co2 was expanding in the valve instead of the tank? This would result in using up more co2 per shot and give you less shots overall. Just a thought
