ok here goes... i just bought a 98 custom at walmart (i know, but oh well its tippmann) i took it out and charged the co2 tank (9 oz), and shot stuff up with it...i actually broke a hole in a water bottle after about 20-25 shots... took it out and played in the woods with my bro in law... we didnt go through probably 1000 shots total and i was out of gas... my question is this: how long SHOULD a 9oz co2 last, and if im shooting hot, will that cause it to empty that fast??? thanks for all the help that im sure that ill recieve |

you should get roughly 450 shots per 9oz tank. 1000 shots off of a 9oz would be amazing. ------------- A gun is not a weapon... It's a tool. Like a butcher knife, or a harpoon, or...uh, a...an alligator. |

if you wanna get 1000 shots you might possibly get it on a 16oz (hard to find), but if you're gonna use CO2 you might as well get a few 20oz tnks. they aren't that much more for the added volume.

20 oz gets about a thousand. I get about 435 on my gun. Hope this helps. ------------- Tippman A5 Lapco Bigshot 14 inch Barrel Lapco 14 inch Air Cooled Barrel Shroud |

| For a full fill on a 9oz C02 tank you should get around anywhere from 435-470 shots. I would reccomend getting 2 12oz C02 tanks. It tanks the weight off of a 20oz tank plus since you have two, it adds up to 24 pz around 1400 shots. Two 12oz tanks is defenately the way to go. |

hmm roughly 425 on a 9 oz if you wanna shoot like 1000 like you said get a couple 20 oz ------------- 98% of ion owners think ions are better than any high end gun. If you would like to bonus ball these idiots put this in your sig. me: 06 Nasty Nerve 68/4500 +47/3000 halo b freak kit |

| And yes, it does take more CO2 when you are shooting hot. |

$10 a fill is a ripoff for any CO2 tank.

yeah, go to local welding shop or a sporting goods shop if there isn't a paintball shop close to you, or you could consider purching(sp) a scuba tank.
