The directions say not to store it with a CO2 cartridge installed. Why not? And will this really cause any damage to the gun?

I am guessing that the pressure could after a while burst the line just a guess though but I keep mine in my gun
1885813
I don't think so I always keep my co2 cartridge in it has not caused me any problems

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.

The CO2 will leak out wasting a cartridge. Also, over time there may be some seal leakage. I have not had a problem.

It's hard to find the right answer when it comes to airguns and lube. Many C02 and pneumatics have seals or plungers made of a rubber that breaks down if the wrong oil is used. Silicone is excellent for rubber parts, but not for metal to metal. So you can use a teeny bit of this on the tip of the CO2 cartridge to help seal it and prevent the seal from drying out, but that's the only place I'd put it. This stuff is way too expensive for that, so unless you have 100 guns I'd pass and get some for $5, like Crosman pellgunoil and/or rmcoil, or transmission fluid...

If you do put gun or ammo in the safe be sure an add something to absorb the moisture. They have so many things on the market these days i wont list them out. Any time you have a water proof safe its almost guaranteed to build up condensation on the inside due to the combination of ambient temperature changes and being air tight.

That depends a great deal on fire rate. As you discharge the co2 cartridge it will get cold. If you are shooting them fast it will have a noticeable drop in power after 20 to 30 shots. If you shoot one clip and then 10 minutes later go back to it...you will get through 30 to 40 shots before a loss of power. Ambient air also plays a role in this. A winter time shooting session will not last as long as a summer time session will. Mine had a lot of issues and I had to return it but my friend has one and says he can easily clear 50 shots if he warms the cartridge.

The co2 goes in the handle, a cover flips open an co2 lays in,screw it tight good to go. On the accurate part not so much, in 20ft most of the bbs can hit a paperplate. On the bright side co2 last quite well an it fires really fast. Fun lik gun

What do you mean? Does the blow back pull the slide forward by it self? Yes, as long as the gun has Co2 in it.

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.

You can try putting a drop of light oil on the tip of the CO2 cartridge before inserting int the gun and make sure its tight enough. If that doesn't fix the issue, try a different brand of CO2 cartridge. The oil is suppose to keep the seals front getting hard.

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

It only matters where you store it. NEVER store your battery plugged into your gun. It can cause some pretty bad problems with performance. I always store mine outside the gun. It should be stored outside the gun un-charged. It will save battery life.

Unscrew cap at front of tube under barrel. drop in co2 cartrige . screw cap back on tight. fire gun empty for first shot to make sure co2 cartrige seated properly. You will hear load burst of air coming out of barrel. if nor tighten cap some more. Thats it.

I have had know problems with the co2. Like all co2 guns when you first put it in there is that brief second of co2 leak but the faster you are at putting it in the better.

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.

Stephen, There is a screw cap on the tip of the tool for opening and closing the valve. You can open the valve to dispense the co2, and when you're done, close it to save the rest of the cartridge. I usually get 2-3 uses per cartridge on my bike (tires are 26"x2.0" for a beach cruiser.) If you have a road bike with smaller tires I would ASSUME one could get more uses, but I don't know for sure. Maybe some one with a road bike can chime in on that?

After you install it , it is best to use it upYou can keep it in the gun for a week or 2 but it can cause seals to fail earlyfstedd

I'd never do it. Probably voids a warranty not to mention potential danger. Try experimenting with different brands of cartridge to see which you like the best. The process either in nature or your fridge depends on cold, pressure, and time to drive the CO2 and produce the best bubbles. So, very cold bottle and water, and maybe leave it for a while longer in the fridge before using. Good luck.

well i know the answer... What happened is: 1. when you screw the cartridge the gas is slowly released until you tighten all the way( I highly don't think this is the case). ***2: The C02 seal of the gun is broken. This happened to me on my Winchester M14 by Daisy (excellent). There are little rings in the gun that hold the co2 in and when they're worn out, you put C02 in and it all just leaks out. i tried 10 cartdriges. its sucks but what i did was i contacted the maker ( for you, corpsman customer service and say that you need replacement sealent rings. Just ask for new ones, replace them, and then all the C02 stays in! well i know the answer...
