How many cylinders from 80 tank?

Post by hammerheadarcher »

Can you guys give me an idea how many fills I can get on an LP10 cylinder from an 80 size tank at 3000psi? And about how many shots per cylinder? Is the FPS adjustable on that gun? The gentleman I talked to when I ordered the gun at Pilk didn't know the answer. Also, should I have a guage on the yoke to see how much air is left in the scuba tank?

You get lots of fills off the scuba tank, can't give you a number because every fill just replaces what you use. Eventually you get to a point where it doesn't fill enough to give you enough shots, then the scuba tank needs refilling.

On a really full scuba tank 120-140 shots maybe depending on the velocity settings and yes velocity is adjustable.

The gauges on the Steyr's cylinders are relatively accurate enough and they will tell you the condition of the tank when you fill them, so no a gauge on the yoke is not required.

But this does not necessarily mean that you adjust its velocity because you feel like it. Varying its velocity will affect its accuracy.
