Duff Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 If the capsule is empty I take it out but if there is some left in I leave it in. I normally leave one mag without a capsule in it purely because you're normally required to put a fresh one in at chrono (at the Mall at least.) But I will put all fresh ones in before play anyway, I believe it's best to leave them in to keep the seals under pressure or something but I could be wrong.

I have a video in my library showing and explain all this and more, I'll share it here late evening or tomorrow for you. ATB Marc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Adolf Hamster Posted June 3, 2018 Supporters Share Posted June 3, 2018 i dont know but i'd like to, my green gas mags can provably hold a full gas charge for 6 months while my co2 mags can maybe manage 6 minutes, on a good day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
