Okay, like when I take my gun out in my backyard, I shoot it, and then when I'm done I take off the CO2 tank. Do people just leave it on until the next time they use it. Like could I just put it on my gun and then just leave it on for days? Or should I take it off after every time I uses my gun?

dont leave it on unless you have a on off valve on it or the drop forward. its bad for your gun if you leave it on

Take it off when you're done. It'll slowly empty out if you leave it on and it isn't good for your gun.

Edit -- Dudeus beat me to it :P And he needs to shorten his sig a bit :P

take off unless you have an on/off valve, in that case just turn it off so now pressure is going to the gun, if you dont you will gradually leak and the pressure is still on the gun whihc isnt the best for it

So if you are supposed to take it off, why do I see people making gun stands that were meant to hold the guns with a CO2 tank. And the ones I've seen didn't have a on/off switch. Should I just make a stand meant to hold just the gun without the co2?

Most of the people with gun stands run nitro with an on/off asa... So they can just turn off the airflow to their marker.

what about a nitrogen tank? will I have to take that off as well?

***Alpha*** · July 28th, 02:33 PM

Yes. It will slowly leak out.

their tanks probably are empty when they leave it on w/ no on/off,if you are planning to get an on/off just make it w/ some support for a tank*personally,by the time i put my marker down it has no air so i would just make it w/ support for a tank*

yes nitro does slowly leak out too

ya, never leave your HPA tnak or Co2 tank on your gun if your not using your gun, NEVER!! But like during a day of paintball you dont have to take it off after every game.
