Guys,
I'm just working on an article for this site particularly to help newer players.. Now I'm after some info.. Could you list how many shots you would typically get out of an gps tank?

If you could list the following info that would be great!

Size of tank:
Fill pressure:
Hp or Lp output:
Type of marker:

I'm wanting as much input as possible, thought ild finally put my degree's to use for something good..

Cheers

Size: 68cui
Fill Pressure: 2k
Output: LP
Marker: DM11
Number of Shots: Hopper + 3pods (180+3x140) = 600rounds. This takes pressure to 800ish psi.. Could shoot more, but not effectively.

as a rule of thumb.

from a spring driven spyder type running at 260-280fps at 20deg c

from 3000psi to 700psi you get one shot per cc
eg .73L ( 47cu)=730 shots

2200-2400ish psi ( quick hot fill) is 10 shots per cu

and the difference between a 400 and a 800psi reg is 50 shots max

a tippmann uses 10% more gas so .73L @ 3000psi = 670 shots

Planet Eclipse Etek1
68cu 4500 bottle
3000 psi fill will shoot hopper and 5 pods or roughly 1240 balls.
Have not had my bottle filled to 4500 psi enough (due to availability of compressors) to get a usage from that.

Size of tank: 68/4.5k
Fill pressure: 2.5k
Hp or Lp output: HP
Type of marker: DM10
4 pods (140) + 2 High top rotors (250) = 1060
Last 60 were a waste as they were dropping off around the 400psi mark
