Sept 2004 PB2Xtremes did a review on a shocker and they say "They are lucky to to get about 1000 shots from a 68ci 4500psi bottle. they stongly recommend picking up a high efficiency kit for the shocker. The kit consists of a new firing chamber, new bolt guide and new bolt. Shot count is reputed to go up as high as 1400 shots for the same bottle capacity mentioned above".
Good topic, I just read about it, Hope that the above helps. For that matter I wish I had a shocker.
