compressor

the chamber is 41 in3 and i want to uses it atleast at 50 psi
how many shots will i get out of a 10 gallon air tank

[paaiyan]

Depends, how much pressure is in the tank?

[pat123]

whatever the tank can hold probably 150 - 200 psi

I have a ten gallon tank that goes up to 125 psi, but they are all different. The only bad thing about the ten gallon tank is that it takes forever to fill it up with my one gallon compressor

[pat123]

how many shots do you get out of it at 50 psi

[paaiyan]

Some quick calculations are telling me that if the compressor was at 200 psi, you could get about 170 shots before you couldn't charge the chamber to the full 50. I could be wrong though, don't take my word for the gospel truth.

EDIT: Some more in-depth calculations are giving me the same answer, so with a 10-gallon tank at 200 psi, you can expect about 170 shots from your chamber pressurized to 50 psi.

thanks my friend has a 12 gallon tank with a built in compressor that he will sell me for $15

[paaiyan]

Well 12 gallons you can obviously expect a few more shots, I'd guess around 200 instead of 170, BUT, that's an unfounded guess. Either way, not bad.

how many shots do you get out of it at 50 psi

I'm not sure, I've only let it get down to about seventy psi, but I get about 20 shots (just a guess).

on the idea of using co2 i just built a regulated co2 rig from a regulator i bought for 20$ at a surplus electronic/nerd store lol. it can handle 3500psi imput and output between 1 and 500 psi i use a co2 paintball tank and it fills so fast and will fit in a briefcase i am working on a t-shit gun with a backpack mounted co2 system

[noob of noobs]

Wait, what does the rig do?
