how do you know

Jubjub · March 26th, 07:09 PM

good question.. can you get a meter adapter?

**shadowboy91** · March 26th, 07:18 PM

it is a lot lighter when it is almost empty. u fps will also drop.

Jubjub · March 26th, 07:21 PM

im too new to notice

**shadowboy91** · March 26th, 07:24 PM

if u cant tell by the weight or ure velocity drop then u cant really do anything. what size tank do have?

***Polska44*** · March 26th, 07:38 PM

hehe i was playing the whole day thursday and the next day my gun would get uncocked the balls would get stuck so will just hardly jump out is that a sign also

**shadowboy91** · March 26th, 07:39 PM

ure velocity will drop. the same as what he ^ said

You can get a gauge on your valve.. But I'm not sure of many CO2 valves that have gauges.

Usually I just feel it.. If its lighter, and if you bang it with an allen, and shake it, if it makes a pwongwongwongwong noise, then you usually have some left.

or u'll know when it starts burping

Jubjub · March 26th, 08:09 PM

is that what they call it.. burping..lol..

**shadowboy91** · March 26th, 08:15 PM

yeah something else funne- dont short-stroke ure cocker or youre balls will break. a cocker is gun and if u dont pull the trigger back all the way you will chop like mad

Jubjub · March 26th, 08:19 PM

lol.. yea.. the spyder that my friend lets me use does that.. its kinda dumb.. but i got used to it.. had to clean it after every round.. it was the penalty till i got used to it

**shadowboy91** · March 26th, 08:21 PM

u can get antichop bolts to help fix that. btw what kind of spyder is it?

Jubjub · March 26th, 08:25 PM

not sure.. i should look it up.. but im still new enuff to think there all the same.. i know its pretty custom.. except the tank and barrel

**shadowboy91** · March 26th, 08:26 PM

tlx, victor 2, imagine, fenix, etc. there is soooo many

Jubjub · March 26th, 08:39 PM

well then there is no way for me to know...

its black ....HA

I gauge on a CO2 tank is actually fairly worthless.. You see, the liquid is not what exerts the pressure -- rather it is the sublimated gas. Even if there is the smallest amount of liquid CO2 you will still have 800psi in the tank. So a gauge on a co2 tank will either read 800psi, or empty, and no where in between. Really the only way to know exactly how much CO2 you have left is to weigh the tank.

Signs taht you are getting low:

1) Velocity Drop offs
2) Marker will not recock -- get 'sputtering' or 'farting'
3) Much lighter tank
4) Marker stops operating at all

Hope that helps.
