Another newbie question...

[SilverBullet]

Can CO2 and CA/N2 be stored for long periods of time in your bottle? Does the pressure slowly leak or weaken the bottle? Is it best to empty your tank and refill it in between paintballing days. I'll probably play about once a week, so I was wondering if I could save the excess for this period of time.

a week shouldnt be a problem, month and you might wanna shoot it out

It sorta depends. One thing to remember is that you can't store either at excessively cold or hot temperatures. CO2, should have no problem with leaks, nor should No2 for the length of time your saying. I've had pin and on/off valve tanks I've stored for a month, and still had no problem. I wouldn't leave a fully charged air tank for more than a week though, if not less, without emptying it (a little left is good to keep out dirt, but no more). Over time high pressure can weaken the fiber wrap, sort of like, playing with your autococker for to long will make it blow the back bolt out the back of the gun(don't ask).
