Maxflow degas, always has 400 psi

[thp]

degas, is that a word?

Well, I have a maxflow. I turn it off, pull the trigger and there's still 400 psi in the sucker. How do I get rid of all that extra gas in there? I can't disconnect my macroline, the fittings won't budge a bit for me to try and pull the cable out. I tried bending the cable at the fittings, but the macro line I have for some reason bends really well and won't bleed out that way. It's been 6 hours already and there's still 400 psi in the gun.

Are there any other adjustable tanks like the dynaflow that totally degas' the gun and fittings when you turn it off?

Thanks.

Hold down the trigger and pull out the valve...

Only suggestion I have for you, it'll release the rest of the air.

What's happening is it takes 450psi to shoot a ball with a mag, so when it his 400 the gun won't shoot but the 400psi sits there. If you pull out the valve the bolt will unseal allowing air to flow through and empty.

Not the best idea, but I recommend a pro-connect or slidecheck.

i have the same problem. He said it pretty well: that it takes about 450psi for an automag to vent the chamber. Therefore, if you're at 400psi, the trigger won't to anything. I have a gauge hole in my foregrip that I don't use and I have a plug in there, so I just unscrew that a little bit to vent the air. Just find something that you can unscrew/detach slowly (don't want 400psi coming out all at once).
