How long will a co2 cartigage last if i leave it in the gun???

The needle WILL be DAMAGED and UNFIXABLE if you leave the cartridge in long enough. The best way to take care of it is to just switch out each cartridge after each use, regardless of how long you used it. Trust me on this. It happened to me.

Not for long ,maybe one week or so I try to use the co2 the same day it makes sense the seal will flatten with time.

Yes, although you'll be reloading alot, it's a pretty reliable pistol. I bought 4 or 5 of them, and one leaks co2 when I put a new cartridge in because a buddy of mine tightened it down too much one day, so make sure you only screw the co2 in untill it stops seeping

Leaving a Powerlet in the pistol is not good for the seal and may damage the valve over time. It's also not a good safety practice. Besides, as Les pointed out, the CO2 will eventually leak out.

One CO2 cartridge will last between 3-4 reloads so around 90-120 shots. That is on the full power setting.

I would say as long as you used it within a week. I force carbed a 5 gallon keg and we used this to dispense it over the course of 4 days and couldn't tell a difference in the beer we poured on day 1 compared to day 4. You can also use the regular BB gun CO2 canisters with this and put a dime in the bottom of the charger to make up for the difference in size. They go flat after a few hours since you aren't screwing them in tight, but they are also 25 cents versus a couple bucks.

I've put a cartridge in mine, fired it a couple of times, set it down for weeks, picked it back up and it is fine. No apparent loss of pressure. Michael's answer of around 70 shots is probably pretty accurate. I haven't counted but you can definitely tell when the cartridge needs changing. You can hear when the pellet doesn't have the same punch behind it and the pellets start hitting low. I think it may be more like 50 shots? I know that when I do notice the cartridge needs changing, I unscrew the cap and only get a short "phisst" and that is it. It's empty. It uses all the CO2 effectively.

You may purchase the CO2 together with your order so you can try it out as soon as you get it. I buy my CO2 cartridges locally which saves me storage space since I buy it only when I need it and an easy return for defective cartridges. I have not purchased any CO2 cartridges from Amazon.

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 might be low on co2..did you put pelloil on the co2 cartridge? mine does that when its on a "last gasp" of gas pressure. if you stored it over night, after shooting 5 shots.. you have a leak somewhere.. if you used the pelloil, or you did not set the cartridge...perfect straight.. hope this helps..after 12k thousand rounds! yikes the original finally quit.. slide locked open, so i got another..at 3k rounds..perfect!

It can take anywhere between 3-12 seconds depending how hard the hammer smacks into the co2 cartridge..in other words..the bigger the hole is created in the co2 cartridge, the faster it explodes because more air fills up. Consistency is not its best but when it works its fricken awesome. That and theres a bunch of YouTube videos that can help make ur grenade more consistent.

After you install it , it is best to use it up You can keep it in the gun for a week or 2 but it can cause seals to fail early fstedd

I asked a friend of mine who works at CK gas. He said there is no shelf life issue with carbon dioxide

CO2 cartridges need not be removed unless you have a crappy leaky gun- even then it does not matter, but you likely will not retain the gas.

I would not buy this product of you are buying it for your own personal gun I would highly recommend a compressed air it may be a little more expensive but in the end it will make your gun last longer with co2 it freezes the seals inside the gun over time and they break so that is why I would recommend the compressed air

The co2 cartridge goes into the back of the grip, there is a little compartment that you open with your finger,the magazine holds about 18 if I remember right (I haven't used it in a while sorry)
