alot of stands for your gun have them made for you to have your hpa tank on the back, is it safe to have the tank screwed on the gun for like a month after every time you play? i only play like once a month so i need some where to put it, that safe?

You should always de-air your gun after play. Never let your gun sit air'd up for long peroids of time.

So if you have an On/Off it's fine to have your tank screwed into your asa as long as the on/off isn't on.

If you don't have an on/off then no.

well, you know those rubbermaid boxes? could i just put my air bottle in there?i can only put stuff under my bed. i have cats and dogs so paintball stuff plus cats and dogs trying to get into trouble = uhhhhh ohhhhh

Yeah putting it in a box like that is okay. I always keep my hpa tank in my dresser drawer with all my other paintball crap. A relatively cool place like under a bed is fine. As long as its not extreme temperature. (+100/-32)

i thought temp. didnt matter for hpa?

**Master of Paint** · August 25th, 09:52 PM

well, when your playing, temperature isnt gonna affect your efficiency. But you dont wanna store any air tank in a freezer, or in the sun in 120 degree weather. Its just not good for it.

yeah and a good idea for tanks is to put a line of paint from you reg to your bottle not that much.

then if they dont match up you could save your life or others

what?!?!

**The_Duke** · August 25th, 10:44 PM

just unscrew the tank and then screw it in until it is about a 1/4 turn away from gassing up. or if you have a on/off it is fine

Dude, I'm sorry, but I dont get it 0?

**element503** · August 25th, 11:31 PM

yea, im like thinking... so i put a straight line of paint next to the gun and...?

**Master of Paint** · August 25th, 11:41 PM

He means if you draw a line from the reg onto the tank, you will be able to tell if the reg twists off the tank at any time if the lines arent aligned. However this has nothing to do with the thread...
