Ok this is a very noob like question. Everytime that i unscrew my CO2 tank i lose a lot of air. My question is that if i got a on/off switch drop forword would it solve that problem?

Apache

were is the leak coming from? maybe you just need a new o-ring on your tank

i doubt it would cause i dont use a drop yet but a way to make it so u loose less air is to have 2 ppl, 1 unscrewes and wen it sounds like c02 is about to come out just pull ur trigger until the sound stops this is wut i did 4 my c02

UrBlindNow has pretty much the right idea.

That spray that comes out when you unscrew your tank isn't coming from the tank. It is the compressed gas that is still inside the gun and all its air passages. The valve on the tankis closed after the first turn or so. So, it isn't wasting air, but it can destroy your tank O-ring pretty good.

A way to avoid this is to unscrew the tank slightly, like a 3/4 turn and fire a few times without paint. If the marker keeps recocking, unscrew the tank about another 1/2 turn and shoot some more. Once the marker burps and doesn't recock, unscrew the tank.

An On/Off will let you just turn the tank off, and then shoot till the gun is empty. You won't have to fool with unscrewing the tank the right amount.
