pin valves and on/off valves, what is the difference

[charlie]

hey, i j ust got a co2 tank with a pin valve, not an on off valve which i am used to, will th is work on any marker

[BOD]

Yes should do, as long as the ASA that you screw the bottle into has a little protrusion in the middle to push the pin in.:)

yeea, my piranha does, thanks allot

Just make sure you got a good supply of bottle O-rings.

[charlie]

hey, why so many o-rings, i have two spare

[KIA]

every time fire a lot of force is put on the o-rings and they can snap when firing at high rates. I know some1 who went thrugh 3 o-rings in 1 day recballing

he was lucky i was there with my 10 spares :D

o rings should not break while rapid firing (after all most markers have some somewhere in their internal workings and people would be changing them after every game).

now if youre talking bottle o rings, it doesn't do them any good when trying to unscrew a co2/hpa bottle with a pin valve if the marker /asa is pressurised.
the trick is to rapid fire marker while unscrewing. (unless youve got an on off asa)
also people tend to over tighten the bottle onto asa if its not sealing correctly..try dropping a spare rubber bottle o ring into your asa then screwing your bottle on.
this will make sure your bottle seals and is not overtight.
(don't forget its there if you take your bottle off to refill it.)

genius!......i played today, and the bottle was fine, only had to change the o-ring wunce

charlie, if you've got a black rubber o ring on your tank swap it for a nitrile one (cream coloured plasticy one) and use the black one in the bottom of your asa. should last ages..(mine lasted years)
