my lil brother being the dumb S**T that he is, put his co2 tank in my A1 and dry fired it, it was too late by the time i realized it wasn't my tank, nothing seems to be wrong yet, but what are the outcome ?? should i replace any 0 rings or anything before i use it again ??

no you shouldnt be too worried unless it leaks when you put your nitro tank on. The CO2 tank is pretty much the same as putting on an HP tank, if he dry fired really fast then an o-ring mightve been froze but i wouldnt be concerned

CO2 is also dirty as hell and could cause other issues...

Any idea on how much CO2 he fired through it?

he fired about half the tank, he did it in the backyard so i couldn't get to him fast enough. i'm just more worried about internal issues if anything..

Oh yeah, I'd be worried about my little brother having internal issues too... just kidding, don't get mad... but serious thou, I'd be out of my mind if someone touched mine without permission, let alone screw a CO2 tank on it...

As long as there are no leaks and the gun is firing then it should be fine as none of the electronics froze although the lifespan of your O-rings was probably shortened a small bit.

Like these guys said, if nothing is wrong now, then it really didnt do anything, though Im suprised the A1 noid held up, cause CO2 usually comes out @ 1000+PSI if I remember from my CO2/Spyder days(1997ish). G-damn, compressed air is sooo much better. I remember when I made the switch, its just alot more consistent
edit-Just spend $50 and get your bro a cheap 47/3k air tank. Your parents will love the gesture and you will have peace of mind of knowing that it wont happen again
