Back Players at Campaign

[Tony - Stupid Troopers]

with an eclipse cocker a 1.1ltr 4500psi bottle will be big enough. remember at Campaign it's free air fills up to the full 4500psi so you don't need to take dive tanks down.

Thinking about Campaign already? thats what you call planning ahead!!

Go halfs with someone and buy a 12lt 300 bar dive tank. Then you can fill up to 4500psi. Just take your air system down to your local dive shop and ask them to fill that aswell.

Dont know who is coming to Manchester, most of us are either too skint or are working.

I have got a 12l 300 bar, but struggle to get a 4000 fill out of it maybe, the dive shop is not filling it enough?? I have to ask them next time I fill up.....

Nick,

you may not get a full fill because as the tank cools after filling your pressure will drop.
Your best bet is to leave the tank with the shop a couple of days before you need it and get them to top it up once it's cooled.
the other answer might be that your dive shop can't fill to 4500- a lot of them can't.

I play back with a 4500psi 1.1L affair on an Angel. I fill up my hopper (about 200 shots, slightly less) and I take 7 tubes with me (980 shots). I've emptied as good as everything on numerous occasions, but I've never run out of air.....

Thanks Buddha, now I know my set-up is going to be OK as it's near enough the same as yours. Then again, we rarely last long enough at big tourneys for me to shhot all my paint

Jinxy suggested filling an air system with CO2... If i was to do that:

a) should i set up an anti siphon (got me an AA Melee)
b) CAN i set up an anti siphon on an air reg?

How come you get more gas???

The only air system AFAIK that you can use with CO2 also is the 3000psi MaxFlow... on any other system that I have seen there simply is no way of actually getting CO2 into the bottle. I think what Jinxy was referring to was using an air bottle with a CO2 on/off valve as they have a larger capacity so you'll get more shots from them.

Hope that helps

Will any screw in system not just fill in the usual CO2 way?

Nick, you will get roughly 1300 shots out of your air sys, what valve do you have in you cocker, as someone said before, when you fill up you see the needle goto 4500, when you get out on the field it says 2000??????, the tank cools, get another fill after about ten minutes. i remember at campaign last year i filled to 5000 psi and i shat my pants because i thought it was gonna explode!!!, when i got back to the bench, it had gone doen to 3000, even still how many games have you played where you have actually shot more thyan 1000 in a game?, im a mid player, i.e start back usually end up furthermost forward! and i have never, ever shot more than 800 in a game, even at campaign!
