Ehem... Empty CO2

Helllooo!
Everyone probably knows, when your co2 runs out/gets low it makes your gun fire like crazy.
Anyway to prevent this, does it harm your gun?
Does HPA do this?
Thanks

Disclaimer: I have no idea what I am talking about and just posted a product in which I have no idea if it is good or not. I in no way endorse the jam bolt, nor reccomend it to you. I have no idea if it does infact re-cock after pinching... or it it pinches at all. Buy at your own discretion!

"Motor boating" or "burping" is caused by there not being enough pressure being fed into the gun to re-cock the marker. The hammer gets pushed back, but it doesn't get far enough to catch on the sear, then it repeats with a little less force each time as the pressure in the tank goes down until it stops. It doesn't do any harm to the gun, but it lets your opponents know you're out of CO2.

HPA will do exactly the same when it gets low.

You can tinker slightly with the pressure that this will occur, through the use of spring kits, different hammer/bolt weight and high flow valves, but you cannot really eliminate it entirely, it's just a side affect of blow back marker design.

Laugh while you can!! It happens to everyone!

And though not specifically on task, there is a way to prevent that...Get a pump/stock marker.

As said before, you can tinker with springs and pressures, but the end result, the motor-boating, will be just as nasty to the balls in feed .
