CO2 W/ Turnoff valve

[The Tippmann]

Does anyone know of any CO2 tanks that are made w/ a turn on/off valve, because i loose much CO2 when i take it out and i dont want to have to worry about it anymore.

Yes, they do make them with on/offs. There is also an adapter that screws into the ASA which your tank screws into for an on/off. Or you can pick up a drop forward or a unimount (depending on what is more comfortable) that has an on/off.

You don't actually lose any CO2 when you are taking the tank off. What is happening is that the CO2 inside the gas lines finally has a place to go, so it comes rushing back out of the release area you created. An easy way to stop this is to unscrew your tank 1-2 turns then dry fire your marker until it fails to recock. Then you can finish taking the tank off without that rush of CO2 ;)

well can it hurt my co2 tank or gun???

[Doorman]

Nope, won't hurt your tank or marker in any way.

I'd have to say that scared me the first couple of times I did that. :D

dont dry fire your gun, just push the the coking thingy (newb) all the way forward and it lets all the co2 out

[The Tippmann]

ok man, i am not a newb, i've had my tippy since 2001 and i jsut recently bought an expansion chamber, but i never knew that it was jsut the remaning co2 in the gun. i'd always dry fire it, but i think the only reason it was concerning me was because the expansion chamber had gas in it along w/ the marker so there was just a lot more co2

i dont think he was calling you a newb i think he was saying "cocking thingy" the way he said it was newb
