How long does a 12-gram CO2 Cartridge last?

Depends on how often you want to play. Each one can fire about 20-50 on a 70 degree day. So base that on how often you play, and how many you shoot when you play.

For this gun since there is no way to adjust the velocity a 12 gram cartridge will last 20 to 30 shots.

not very long. I used it once having found it too expensive to maintain. At the time one cartridge only gave a light fizz to the water - much less than a soda of any kind or of Perrier or other bottled water. I saw no reason to continue its use. At the time the lowest prices for cartridges was much higher than I see another person found.

No...it compresses the air each use..no need to replace, not like CO2 cartridges. It uses this instead of a big spring.

I have shot without emptying the cartridge and shot again the following day on the same co2 cartridge without noticing any leaks until empty.. Hope that helps

You can keep the cartridge in the gun as long as you want. It might lose some air over time but if you tighten the screw hard enough it will retain air. But if you remove the cartridge while its still full you will lose all the co2.

1 year, I believe, butwith no movingparts, there's little to go wrong, unless the case were to split or crack. Just drain it well if you live in an area that experiences freezing temps. I'd also remove, clean & store the cartridge in those areas.

I used standard BBs so idk about the 0.12 ammo, but I bought these CO2 cartridges and they worked well. Crosman 12 Gram CO2 (15 Cartridges) http://amzn.com/B001BR1LNG

I find one site that sells cartridges (houzz.com) says "Each filter cartridge should be replaced within 45 to 60 days depending on usage. Today I talked to the UnitedStatesian distributor (not the Amazon distributor in Canada), and he says it's good for roughly 6-8 months showering 2 times a day.

Hi Herbert... If you are asking about once fired then holstered, it will last almost indefinitely... but if the seal on the valve assembly is worn or leaky then perhaps 2-3 weeks. You can see the valve assembly before you place the cartridge in tube, there is a replaceable seal washer, for the stem of cartridge to push against. To help increase the gas seal use a very small amount of Crosman Pelloil on the tip of the cartridge before loading into position and screwing end cap on. This action will increase "at rest" non shooting life of CO2. Happy shooting, I hope that will help.... Regards David (Milton Keynes, UK)

If you use the Pelgun oil, it should last for years. Put one drop of the oil on top of the CO2 cylinder every time you replace one. Without the oil, the seals will dry up and soon you will have the CO2 leaking out rapidly as soon as you install it.

Every 50 gallons of use. Or approximately 6 months. After 6 months I take the cartridge out and drain the water from it and shake it. If there is power in there your good, if not replace it.

The CO² are disposable cartridges and look like silver tubes that narrow to a small end on one side. 12 gram is the size that will fit this gun.

I took it out twice so far, a cartridge seems to last about 15 to 25 shots.

Unscrew the CO2 cartridge and replace the metal cap, tip the bottle a few times gently, store in the 'fridge. Let the bottle sit for an hour or so in the 'fridge before dispensing. You'll get a better charge the longer it sits.

Octenol is recommended for Northern or Coastal regions of the US. One cartridge will last approximately 21 days. The "3" designates that three cartridges are included in the box.

I purchased the soda sparkle brand C02 cartridges, they have 8g of CO2 and they work perfectly.

Yes, you will need to buy 12gram Co2 cartridges; also, the 12 outer casings are NOT reusable.
