Really bad gas efficiency

[illy2k]

I just got my speed, and haven't even played with it yet. I was out the other day, and took a pod with me and shot around 140 balls, and the psi in my tank droppped from 3000, to 1500. Then just now I was dry firing the speed, and it dropped another 700 psi. I also noticed down passed 1000 the speed started to losemechanicle recognition of my trigger pulls. I would pull the trigger like 3 times without it firing. So I now have a few questions. Is the reason the trigger pulls not generate a fire because the pis was too low or because I hadn't calibrated sensi? And also, is the bad gas efficieny my old tank or is it just that when I practice dry shooting, I shoot alot more than I realize?

dry firing will use allot more gas compared to shooting paint,

but if your gun is still unefficient check your paint/barrel match and look for the "try these settings" thread made by ken crane and try out his settings

How many shots do you usually get per fill in a 68 4500 tank?

[DyeBoomer]

i get about 1000 out of my 45 4500

[MoogLe]

i have an ir3 but i can get like 3 pods and a hopper out of a 3000 fill on my 45ci tank

it's just an estimate as i've never really ran out of gas mid game

[illy2k]

What about the fact that I was pulling the trigger 3 times b4 the speed would fire once?

[MoogLe]

yea it was probably because you were low on gas and the gun barely had enough pressure to operate the ram

fill it up and see

Hey Pogi !

1) Which Vol ?
2) LPR setting ?
3) Dwell Setting ?
4) Tank output pressure ?

Thanks,
