Gauge for Co2

I have a spot for a pressure gauge on the drop forward of my gun. It would be nice to know how much co2 i have left in my tank. Will a pressure gauge be able to accurately tell me how much co2 is left in my gun? so i know when i am about to run out. also how much psi should the gauge go up to?

i believe co2 PSI is about 800... if i can remember correctly from things i've seen posted here b4... if it's colder it'll be a little lower, if it's hot it'll be a little higher..

A gauge will not tell you when your co2 tank is about to run out. It pretty much runs at around 800 psi till it's empty.

There was one on the Angel AIR system for a while.

Probably not worth it except for the small 'looks cool' factor.

And CO2 is filled by weight, not pressure. So a guage wouldn't really help too much. You'd know when it got really empty though.

my old gun was a spyder rodeo with an expansion chamber and regulator so when the gauge on the regulator was starting to drop i'd know i was getting low on air. Also when your getting low the gun shoots differently because you don't have as much pressure and you can feel the difference.
