Air hog

[*KOMA*]

I have a RT valve that I bought {used}. I replaced every oring on it, but it's still usuing a massive amount of air. I am shooting at 290 FPS, after about 1200 rounds I had filled my 3000 psi tank 3 times. Does this sound right?

How big is your tank??? I get almost 1000 shots out of my 68/3000 shooting at 275fps!!!

68/3000

well thats not extremely bad, figure 10 shots per cubic inch on a 3000psi tank.
so 680 shots per fill, but fills are generally not true 3000 either they are short or the fill is hot or both...so 600 shots...If you are using a level 10 then the last 800 or so psi in your tank is not enough, so figure that you basically only have the top 2200psi/68ci of usable air. I couldnt get 1000 from a 68/4500 on my lx emag id get about 900.
A good Paint to barrel match will increase efficiency.

im running a 114 4500 how many shots should i get? i haven't got a chance to shoot it with my new reTro but with the classice valve and lvl10, on 3900 psi, i got a case

[abunkerer]

about 10 shots per ci on a 3000 & almost 15 shots per cubic inch on a 4500psi fill.

you think your guns are gas hogs i got a 48/3000flatline and i get 500 till i have to fill

What it the output pressure on your tank, the more pressure then less shots. Turn the pressure down to about 715 and it works legally and good :)

800-1000 works great

well it depends... i know on my old gun it was illeagal 800+ the way i had it set up... so you really just have to mess around with it.
