1. Are you sure it was completely full?

2. Was it ridiculously cold?

3. Could you hear any leaks?

oh forgot to add,  the first time i recieved the tank, it didnt have an o ring on it.

And its really hard to put it on without the co2 leaking out. 

Any suggestions?

i got an o ring on it.  But the guys at the store asked me if i wanted to fill it when i bought it
and i said yes and filled it

300 shots later and i guess the leaks got the best of it

honestly i have heard of this happening and the store didnt really fill it all the way.  it sucks but it happens.  i would say try again and also the leaks very well could have gotten the best of it since it would have been constantly leaking.
