does the CO2 leak down if not used and is not shot for a few days

It's not good for the seals to leave a cartridge in over extended periods of time. Put a drop of Crosman Pellgun oil on the tip of the CO2 cartridge before inserting it.

Mine doesn't lose much co2 over long periods, but it will depend on the individual gun.

It takes a couple weeks for mine to leak down but I don't know if they all do

I have had mine put up w the same cartridge for about 2mo and it did not leak out. Only shot it twice the other day. I was surprised It did not leak.

I have had it for maybe 2 years now if I pop a co2 cartridge in it, it will shoot fine but I don't shoot it that often just for the record and the co2 runs out progressively so your shots become less and less accurate as you shoot

My CO2 cylinder has been in the gun for over 3 months, and is still fine. My guess would be that as is it ages, it will last less, due to the seals.It's not a very expensive gun...............we'll see!!

If it is a new unit I would try and replace the lid. That is not supposed to leak when you open the co2 cartridge into the unit. Ours just pops out red ring visible but no gas leaks out. Must be a faulty unit. If it developed over time may be the seal is frayed .

It will hold the air for quite a while. It will eventually deplete but over a long time period. If you shoot a few times a night, it should last for weeks

Probably not good for it - that CO2 wants to go somewhere. You could put a T-valve on the line to cut off the supply to the tank and redirect it to outside the tank. It functions just like a very low-power air bubbler.

Not noticeably. the worst cause of air leakage is my hose attachments, or the connectors. if they are disconnected, and it is unplugged, it can hold air for a few days as i recall. but thats just mine...

Virtually any gun will have a slow leak. Don't count on it for more than an hour or two. If you get no leak you're lucky. Plus mfg 's don't recommend you leave it for long periods anyway

Oh that such magic existed. You do need a CO2 tank, with a regulator to knock the pressure down AND a female version of this connection (Common). I got a 20lb tank cheap on Craig's List, got it filled, and after a year of using it twice a day it is still going.

I've found that as long as the seal in your gun is good, no leaks, it doesn't hurt to leave it in there. I do and have had no problems with leaking, and then later I use it until it's used up. I've also found that if you put a drop of chamber lube, like the RWS, on top of the cartride before you install it, it seals better and it will protect the seals, keeps them from drying out. Hope this helps.

It is recommended to put a drop of oil (like Pellgunoil) on each CO2 cylinder outlet before loading it in the gun, but sooner or later the cartridge will lose pressure if you leave it indefinitely in the gun. Anyway, it is not recommended to leave any CO2 gun indefinitely with a gas cartridge inside because the gas seal may become damaged.

I hope you get an answer since I was wondering that myself. I left mine in but used it again in the next day or so. It was always ready to fire. I think these other folks are correct because I am sure it would eventually leak out. I like the suggestions for enhancing the seal.

Hi David, We are not allowed to send Co2 tanks under pressure. As said in the other comments, there are a number of places that you can get your tank filled, welding shop, gas/air stores, paint ball stores, and some home-brew stores. I suggest you be sure and check about keeping your NEW co2 tank or if they exchange(you will more than likely get a used tank on the exchange).Hope this was helpful.Tommy G.

After the first few uses, it seemed to not work anymore. But it is not a problem for us, we have a back up CO2 can.

As long as you keep the cap on, it will evaporate on a much slower rate compared to a regular zippo. But don't assume that it will still be full if you filled it and left it there for a year or two.

Depends on how much you intend to use it. Since I am the only user and I don't go out for more than a day/overnight I only fill it about half full.

No, it will run out very quickly. Get an adapter and hook up a 20oz paintball co2 canister to it.
