Do You Have To Have A Full Tank To Engage A Mag???

[gcm88]

how many psi do mags require to engage the valve, because my rt wont engage with 800 psi in it

[ilovemags2]

My tank has to have atleast 1k psi in it.

[gcm88]

what will happen if it has lower, mine just makes air rush out of the tank

[player4]

mine works perfectly fine off 800 psi

.........may be a lv10 problem.......if so, take it to the tech forum

[ilovemags2]

if the tank pressure is too low it leaks right down the barrel.

I can get mine to engage at well under 1,000 now, but I messed with my level 10 alot, and my set-up is VERY well broken in now...had that bolt staying forward and venting air issue when my RT was brand spanking new.

Most mags can't effectively shoot below approx 800-900 psi without considerable recharge time.

welcome to the wide world of mags, buy all day air+refill after a few games=better playing all day long

[space_weazel_45]

also your gauge may be slightly off +-200psi maby

True. But my Mag works well down to lower pressures. 800 is a bit high for it to stop working.

Quite the possibility.

mine starts chuffing at around 1k and stops working at about 800 according to my tank!! gauge is pretty close to accurate though.

I start getting a bit nervous below 1500psi & really nervous at about 1000psi. I usually try to refill after every trip back to the staging area (all day air is a good, good thing) to avoid any low pressure issues out in the middle of an engagement.

I can shoot my Emag down to about 600 psi before it quits on me. I have very little warning because, true to the design of the valve, velocity remains pretty much spot on until it quits. If I can notice dropoff, I only have a few shots left. This RARELY happens, as the fields I play offer all day air.
