help with co2

[flip]

ok, i have bought my gun, all the accessories, 16 ounce co2 tank, and i need to know exactly how to load it onto the gun, and after i am finished how to take it off, without screwing up somehow. i have read around, and am having trouble understanding because there seems to be so many different things about this. any help would be great, and please don't bash me for not knowing something probably simple as i am new to this thanks.

Filling the tank up would take a few pages to explain properly as do this first to that next..so the easiest way will be for you to pay attention when you go to a field to have the tank filled. To remove your tank is a little more simple, if you haven't got a on/off tap on the tank you will have to unscrew the tank until the CO2 starts to vent then quickly unscrew it..however you WILL ruin o rings this way so invest in the white urethane o rings cos they don't get ruined so easily. A much much simpler way would be to get an on/off tap fitted to the tank and then all you do is turn the tank off and then fire the marker until no Co2 comes out then you can remove the tank and the o ring will be fine.

See told you it would take just one or two words to explain.

thx

thanks a lot for the help man. one more question. about how much does either the white o-rings cost, or an on and off tap for my co2 tank? will it work to just unscrew a little (like 1/2 a turn), then fire until it sputters? i have read this method.

thanks again

The O rings will cost about double the cost of the black nitrile ones (can't give you an exact price cos I don't know where you are but I suspect america, cos of the 160z bottle) The valve ? best place would be Smart parts cos theirs ARE a half turn to shut the gas flow off (costing from their website) WEBSITE HERE

If you are interested in how a CO2 tank is filled - Warpig have an article at http://www.warpig.com/paintball/technical/gasses/fill.shtml

Alternatively, go along to the next Big Game. In the time you spend at the fill station you will have the entire procedure committed to memory!!

hey Flip.
the half turn and then firing until spluterring does work and saves more o-rings but if i were you i'd take sparklie up on her offer.
