Dumb questions...

[carrim]

What is a turbo valve and what does it do, how would upgrading from a normal piranha's bolt to a venturi bolt improve the gun and what exactly should I do for basic maintenance on a piranha?

Thanks for your time :)

the venturi has a cuped end that fits around the ball evenly and it has porting holes in it so gas is distributed around it more evenly. venturi bolts make your gun quieter and more accurate.

Also, what exactly is the benefit of having a smart on/off valve on a CO2 tank rather than a pin valve? Is it really worth the extra money?

[Thor the Mighty]

yeah because with the on/off, you airnt wasting as much co2 as with a pin. when you unscrew a pin valve, TONES of co2 comes out but if you stop the airflow before you take the tank off then you reduce the ammount of wasted co2

Oh...the turbo valve...basically it's a valve that increases air flow so your gun doesn't need as much pressure to operate off of. Nothing really special, but nice if you have the money.
