mag efficiency? What is all the crying about?

Yes, the valve likes a high input pressure, but it uses less air per shot.

Markers that have a lower operating pressure use MORE air per shot.

It's not so one-sided.

Technically, it shouldn't matter either way... The same amount of energy is needed in both setups to accelerate the ball to the desired velocity.

how many shots do you get out of your cocker?

Honestly, I don't know. I haven't counted to find out. I got an EBlade, but never got a chance to play with it long enough to put numbers on the counter.

On my old minimag, with ANS charger, bolt, and Reactor valve, and a Lapco Bigshot, I got around 900-1000 on a 68/3000.

Hmmm....I don't know why some people are saying that they can't run their mags down past 800 and still be reliable. I keep my mags very well maintained, and I can usually run them all the way to the bottom of the bottle. I've never had any issues with crappy performance below 800.

No joke.

I normally run my mini all the way down to 350. That is right 350!!! I tried switching my bottle over to my brother's cocker to see if it would shoot anymore (since you can't really trust the mini guages. Well, he wasn't able to get any shots out of the tank either. So, maybe both are guns are odd ducks!

From all the time I've spent working on mags, I will admit that mags do have "personalities". Some mags are really easy to get working right, some are just stubborn.

It's those GD elves man.....

So I guess you didnt notice that was my point?

Your saying an L10 mag shoots down to the bottom of the bottle? I'm gonna have to say, no way. L7 down to 300-400 yeah,L10's at least 200-300psi higher than that.More so if it's set up for maximum softness.
