It all depends on the size of the tank. What size. 12 gram, 8oz, 12oz, 20oz or 24oz?
No, they must be filled (and not with air). The only exception is the silver 12 gram cartridges for pistols and stock class guns.
Roughly, a 12 oz may last you half a case. 20 oz maybe 3 bags. Because CO2 comes out in irregular amounts, there is no exact amount.
a HPA tank, every marker currently produced (and every marker that has been produced for a LONG time) that will work on CO2 will also be fine on HPA. the output pressure of a standard high pressure HPA tank is around 750-800 psi, and the output on your co2 tank is right around 800 so it is a direct swap, id recomend getting a 68/4500 HPA tank, it will give you about the same amount of shots as a 20oz CO2
Last I checked sports authority does not fill HPA tanks. If you are looking to get a tank filled though I would not suggest going to sports authority unless it is your only option. I used to work at one and the employees there really do not know what they are doing when filling tanks and you would be fortunate to get a half full tank when you walked out.
yes but it happens quickly, CO2 will self regulate to around 750 psi so if the tank is completely full or half full it will shoot the same but get down to the last bits of co2 and that's where you will start to see it drop off
It depends on how full it is and what the temperature is, as well as the guns efficiency. You can guess however that: a twelve gram can shoot around 30-35 a 9 oz can shoot around 500-700 a 12 oz can shoot around 800-1000 a 20 oz can shoot around 1000-1200 a 24 oz can shoot around 1200-1500
No paintball gun will work without a CO2 tank or other propellant tank. without Co2 there is nothing to push the ball out of the barrel.
Yes. Standard 9oz through 20oz CO2 tanks work perfectly with the MR1. Compressed air paintball systems work fine too, with a regulator.
I use a 12 ounce, it lasts me a full day, but you might need a bigger one (20 ounce) if you shoot a lot of balls (eg. automatic firing) Tanks are a lot of preference but largely the 20oz is the standard co2 tank that will offer on a typical entry level setup about 1500 shots. For HPA whatever size you get, get it in a 4500 psi tank, that way you will get more shots out of the same size tank. The 68/4500psi has largely become standard for HPA tanks and will give you around 1300 shots on an entry level setup
A CO2 tank does not necessarily have to be upright. It depends if you want liquid CO2 or gaseous CO2. When I purchased a CO2 tank for a specific application, namely, CO2 snow cleaning, I had the option of getting a tank that either had a dipstick, that picked up liquid CO2 from the bottom of the tank, or one that had no dipstick so that it collected gas from the top of the tank. I selected a tank without the liquid pickup. So, my upright tank output gas. However, if I wanted liquid CO2, I would put my tank slightly upside down, and get liquid CO2. It is probably not recommended to run a commercial gas tank in a non-upright position. So, depending on what type of tank you have, and what type of output you want, the answer to your question literally is: depends. For farm and garden use, you are probably seeking gaseous output, and probably have a tank with no dipstick; based on these assumptions, yes, you will need to keep your tank upright.
