Quest air efficiency??
How many shots can I get off a 68/45? or a 48/45?
Looking at buying a new tank (the one I have is a 92/45 much to big). It says in the mannual that the quest can get about 1500 off a 68/45, but I'm thinking this is going to be a little on the high side.

I've found Quests to be all over the place. I believe some people actually achieved higher than that, but most people do not get as high as 1500 I think. With some tuning and after it breaks in a little (if it isn't already) you should probably be able to expect somewhere in the region of 1400.

I get about a case on a 68/45. My second Quest got a little less, maybe 1700, but it didn't have the Goldmember bolt.

I highly doubt that, but if so, good for you.

Lots of guys on PbNation also have similar results. (Well respected guys)
GoldMember bolts adds 250 shots or so.
Mess around with settings and you'll see.
I have a lot of guns, and I can safely say the Quest has been the most efficient.
Edit - Where abouts in MA are you? I'm in Worcester.

yeah, my cousins was running at like 70psi on the reg and he only had to fill up like twice with his 45/45 on a case. they are really efficient guns.

i know this isnt a scientific reading but from the same crossfire tank i get 100-200 more shots on the quest than i do my shocker.
Also my friend has the same tank and shoots about 300 shots less on his ion.
It has good air efficiency because it requires less energy from the low pressure regulator than the standard or what is on most markers.
So even though the operating pressure is 210 psi you will see it shooting better than some as low as 180 psi and so on.

Your quest is running off 210 psi? That is a little high bub. Also try not to up dead threads.

A little high!!! lol try double what it should be. thats why your only getting lightly better than the shocker or Ion. lol.
The other week I accidently tested my max with a 45/45. I didn't fill between games and was getting major shotdown at about 900 balls off the tank. I Still shot someone with it though, lol freaking amazing it did 900 off a 45/45 though.

My pm6 is getting around 750-800 horridly tuned and stock. I'm hoping to get at least 800 when I hit up the chrono to tune it.

why would you crank it up so high if the recommended psi setting is 210.
and sorry for posting on the dead thread. I didnt notice.

I wasn't talking about the the psi, I was referring to my markers efficiency off a 45/45.

My cousin had his running at around 70, drop it down to 90 and slowly drop it till the bolt stops cycling fully, then bump it back up till it does cycle fully.

BS cheak your numbers, no way a pm6 is getting that good. I've seen one get only 1000-1100 off a 68/45 with a tophat mod and tuned proberly.
Anyway, andy your lpr (which is what the quest gauge is for!! Not for the HPR!) should be only at about 100 to 80 psi. Turn your lpr so it reads this and leave it alone. Your quest will shoot beautiful at this level. What kenny is telling you to do will fine the minium psi your quest can run at, but I don't suggest doing this because it could lead to more problems and it sounds like your not used to the gun yet, so leave it alone for the time being.

I've checked my numbers. They are accurate. A pm6 broken in and well tuned can get around 1500 easily off a 68.

.... I've never seen it.... I don't know what the weather is like in Vargina, but in Wisconsin I've never seen a pm6 get anything like that in the cold and rainy or hot and humid weather.
