    Posted: 03 July 2005 at 1:56pm

Alright... I have a 47 / 3000 nitro tank i have a question... If your guage says you have like 700 psi left, will you notice a decrease in velocity if my a-5 runs at 800 psi?  I only ask because i just got my tank and haven't filled it yet to find out.  Thanks a mil

It will work down too about 550psi. You wont loose much velocity down to that.

If your planning on playing anytime soon I would get a fill. 700psi will still work but not for long. Maybe a few dozen shots or less.
