I just got my 9 oz co2 bottle filled yesterday used it for about 20 shots took it out and tryed it again today and the it didnt have any pressure. Am i not supposed to take it out of the gun. It still feels heavy so i think there is still co2 in it.

Come on answer this is ergent

Make sure you didn't bust the washer around the Co2 nozzel. Otherwise, make sure you didn't jam the gun either. Check the hopper.

Cpt. Obvious · 05-23-2003, 12:24 PM

The gun is not jammed and the washer is fine.

20 Shots is about all you can get out of a 9 oz bottle biggrin:

joking bust seriously, how was the bottle stored overnight? Was it in room temp?

Or did you leave it in your car all night?

When you tried to fire the gun, did you cock it then try? There are several small reasons to this..just need more info

Cpt. Obvious · 05-23-2003, 12:44 PM

I stored it room temprature. I screwed in the bottle and it was uncocked then i tried to cock it but no pressure.

Isn't there a way to test the tank to see if theres any gas in it? Like, cant you use a pen or something at the top? For 9 oz, you should at least have 100 - 200 shots.

make sure all your valves and levers are turned on. Check your valves to make sure there's air in the tank. If you have an electro, make sure that is turned on. Finally just push in on the pin on the tank and if air blows out then there's air in the tank biggrin:

Cpt. Obvious · 05-23-2003, 12:52 PM

There is pressure in the tank its just the gun is not pressurising.

Big Jake · 05-23-2003, 12:53 PM

I'm thinking that the air leaked out of the tank. Especially if he doesn't have any pressure.

but then again, there might be something wrong with his gun. Especially if he uses a spyder..I hate those things..they are a real bitch! They break real easily and they can't shoot for shit...thats my opinion.

But I remember back in the day, Spyders were the shit

I have a brass eagle marauder if that helps.

just get a 20 oz tank for 20 bucks they last for like 1000 shots

05-23-2003, 03:30 PM

Thats not the problem....

And what is this washer? I dont see a washer on any of my tanks.....

Open your gun and check the cup seals and all your striker o rings.

BTW i get at least 350 shots on 9oz, most likely less now that i bought my All American barrel.

hmm.. brass eagle... thats the problem, those guns are finicky... just make sure it is screwed all the way in, if it is, and still don't work, unscrew as fast as you can, and rescrew, if the problem persists, take it to where you bought it, same thing happened to me, and they fixed it in 3 minutes for free. hope this helps

p.s. go get a tippmann biggrin:

Cpt. Obvious · 05-23-2003, 07:04 PM

I figured it out. It was the tank. It leaks and of course its brass eagle and it leaks. So i returned it and bot a pure energy 12oz. Thanks for the help.
