How many shots should i expect from a 20 oz. co2 paintball tank?
928060
Ok, ill answer your question honestly. A 20oz. co2 tank is supposed to get around 900 shots per fill. With the tippmann, around 7-800 is expected. If your getting around 600, either they didn't fill it all the way, or your screwing the co2 tank on and off and air is coming out everytime. I would say this is normal for the gun to not have enough air to turn the cyclone feed, but 650 shots is very low with a 20oz. co2 tank.\n\n                                                    ~kevin~

I suggest a nicer spyder.  Something on the lines of an Electra or an Imagine.  The electra is a great lightweight gun that is perfect for aggressive front players.  with the right hopper it should be able to shoot at least 20 balls per second depending on your shooting skill.  It has the rocking trigger which is really helpful.  If you are really skilled you can get it to shoot 27, 28 balls per second.  I reccomend this gun highly since i have used it.  You can get it for like 250 dollars.  Great Gun

at least half a gallon.

one gallon per inch of fish is the rule of thumb with fish tanks.  More if you aerate the water.

If you're new to paintball, stay away from the Ion and go with a Tippmann. Tippmanns are durable and very low maintenance. Plus they make tons of upgrades for them.\n\nIons are not a good choice for a beginning player.

If you are going to be playing paintball I would find a .68 cal marker. At this time it is pretty much a standard for most fields. Also there are many different types of paint made for it. \nFor now I would try to find a compittion paint most of the time they tend to be more brittle. Keep in mind though the thinner the shell the more breaks in your marker. Take your marker to a local shop and have it tested to see how fast it shots. The Max is 300fps most fields like to keep them around 280fps.

The skills necessary in playing this sport go far beyond the ability to sling paint at your opponents...I would like to have you think about your overall game by answering this question\n\nThrowing paint is important but not necessarily the most important thing in winning at paintball.  Below are some training videos for shooting drills, movement, hand signals, etc...\n\nFor a faster trigger finger...I would take my marker with an empty cylinder and the bolt uncocked (dry firing a cocked marker is a bad practice...it causes wear on the sear and can damage the striker bolt / needle valve mechanism)...k, cylinder is empty...barrel sock or plug is in place...hopper is on without paint in it...practice how fast you can get your fingers to work the 90 to 75 degree point in your trigger...typically this will be your firing point...\n\nThe reason that you are using an empty cylinder, hopper, etc...is so that you can mimic the weight of your marker...nothing worse than being out there with fast fingers and not having the arm strength to keep you in the game...\n\nThe reason of empty cylinder, empty hopper, and a Barrel Blocking Device is simple marker safety that should always be exercised...Good Luck and Happy Shooting

It depends on how you have the gun adjusted.  All paintball markers can have the pressure adjusted so taht they shoot at certain speeds.  The fastes you SHOULD be shooing is 300fps, which is about 200mph, but unless you have chronoed the gun, you COULD be shooting much faster which is quite dangerous.

im guessing youre a budget paintballer if youre going with a victor. i like my JJ ceramic barrel on my spyder, its cheap ($20-40) and shoots well for the price. im cheap though and im a casual player, not an "expert." http://www.pbreview.com is a good site with reviews for paintball stuff if you dont get any good answers here

Any paintball gun can take nitrogen or HPA.  Because the spyder is made to run off of CO2, a HP tank would be a better choice than a LP one, because it has an 800psi output pressure, the same as CO2.  I have never heard of the spyder requiring a mod to take HPA, if anything it might require a reg if it doesn't come with one.  Always make sure that you chrono your gun at 300fps max.

40-65 PSI - that's the standard.

The question is what kind of paintball do you play?  I would not use an a-5 for speedball becuase it is heavy.  But for woodsball the a-5 is a beast.  Tippman makes a fine marker.  The a-5 will withstand tons of abuse and keep on firing.  There are tons of modifications and its easy to obtain parts.  Tippman customer service is outstanding.  This is no disrespect to the Autococker, which is a fine marker.  I use a Smart Parts Ion for woodsball and scenario play, although this makes a decent speedball marker too.  The price is right and it has been a great gun.  I like it becuase it is relatively quieter than many other markers.  It is lightwieght and easy to clean.  My son has an Ion and an A-5.  His style of play is different than mine as he tends to like making noise and laying down paint as a heavy gunner.  He added a rotary crank to the trigger on his A-5 that pumps 7 rounds per turn.  The loud pop that this gun makes is impressive in iteself.  When opposing forces hear this thing spraying they move.  Those who dont get plastered.  There is also a custom marker called, "The Hammer".  It is 2 A-5's connected togther.  A crank pulls both triggers at the same time for an effective rate of fire of ~ 30 rounds a second.  It puts down a 6 foot wide spray of paintballs  ;o)    Its a bunker busting nightmare. \n\nIf you want a durable marker that is fun to use and has endless customizations get the A-5.  The price is reasonable and with regular cleaning it will last you a long long time.  If you want a marker that has teh best capabilities of both speedball and woodsball for $200 get an SP Ion.  \n\nIf your ever in Illinois and want to play a great paintball field try Fox Paintball.  But keep your head low or Ill find ya  ;o)

dont do it man. if you put co2 into a compressed air/nitrogen gun, it can freeze up the internals, and that is an expensive fix. compressed air runs a lot nicer through the marker, and doesnt have to worry about changing its form so often (liquid, gas). compressed air is straight gas the entire way, and it a lot easier on the gun.

Trey is correct, however I just ran into some red tape with two 20,000 gallon diesels in southern KY. My customer was really pushing to get these things out of the ground.. Fast! As it ends up, several states have a set time frame on how long a (ust) underground storage tank can sit empty. Your state fire marshel would be the best place to start.  If they dont over see this, ask them for a contact w/ the state EPA or the UST branch.  MAKE SURE YOU USE CERTIFIED COMPANIES.... THIS IS THE EPA WE'RE TALKING ABOUT! \n\nTOTAL BILL FOR TWO 20'S  W/ 3RD PARTY ENVIRO. CONSULTANT WAS AROUND 35 G'S

I am a Tippmann 98 owner, infact it was my first gun! A double trigger will do you no good unless it has Response with it which it probobly does not becasue msot fields dont allow pla with response on any gun, all it will do is not Tire your trigger finger out as fast becasue you can use two fingers. The 20oz tank is probly worth arround 15 dollars used. The hopper is worth about 7 dollars if it is gravity fed, which it sounds like it is. Paintballs speed are usualy measured in FPS not MPH, the velocity can be adjusted on the 98 by turning in or out the allen screw on the side of the gun which will range form like 180-320 . DO NOT ever play with your velocity over 300 FPS because a paintball traveling at that speed could and probobly would shatter a mask. As far as how much to pay for the package I would say a fair price would be from 100-115 for it.\n\n~Johnny
