co2 question

[Bad*2*da*bone]

i have a 20 co2 tank and everytime i take it off co2 gets out. Any idea how i could stop this, or is this why you get an on off valve?

Yep you answered your own question the only way to stop that is with an on/off valve, but you only loose about 5-10 shots depending on how fast you remove the tank so it really is not that big of a loss.

Ya pretty much its impossible to stop co2 from escaping from your tank if it still has gas in it. It is very nice to have an on-off valve. In the long run you'll save money off you lost co2 and broken o-rings. Its a very good investment for 15bucks.

ever gun does that unless they have a on/off valve, theres no way of stopping it

ive heard that if you turn the tank a little then shoot and then take the tank off then not as much co2 will come out but im not sure

There is no problem with your tank or anything like that. The on/off valve won't do anything to stop this. It's the excess gas escaping your marker when you unscrew it. You aren't losing any CO2 from the tank.

if u shoot ur gun while unscrewing ur tank only a small puff of air will come out
