Air question

[rob_evanson]

In quantity terms whats the conversion of ci/cu into litres. I'm thinking of getting a 0.8 litre bottle and I'm wondering where that sits with 48cu and 68cu, and I'm also trying to figure out approximatly how many shots I can expect to get out of one running 3000psi on a mech cocker.

 

[Shuck]

No idea about efficiency but a 0.8 litre bottle is 48cu, the 68cu one is a 1.1 bottle.

Not sure if you can get those ickle bottles for 3000psi though.

You can get 0.8 3000psi presets from LPS, Planet all good paintball shops... Retail for about £80-90 or there abouts...

in quantity terms, the rough amount of shots per tank is this:

3000psi is usually times by 10 to get the shots per fill, ie a 1.1 will get 680 shots, 1.5 with 880 etc etc

4.5kpsi is times by 15, so 68CU (1.1) will get 1020 etc etc

this is just a rough estimate, remember most markers will do better than this, like a nexus cocker gets 1750 off a 1.1 and an evolve matrix gets from 1600-2000 etc etc

i used a .8 3000 preset on my cocker i could get around 3 games worth out of it, and that was putting major paint down, all depends on your setup, ie bolt, lpr, reg etc etc etc oh did i mention iam selling a .8 3000 system cheap ? £70.00

 

[rob_evanson]

Thanyou very much richie, but I'm getting one a lot cheaper some where else.

LJ, you get hte award for the most precise answer ever! So your saying I can only expect about 480 shots from a fill.

 

[L J]

with what gun, the one in your sig?

 

[rob_evanson]

Yes siree!

 

[L J]

you'll get closer to 900 shots or so

 

[rob_evanson]

That ain't so bad, I don't think I carry 900 in one game anyway. Cheers LJ
