JDairsoft Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 how many shots or games would a 48ci hpa tank last. And do most airsoft sites that do hpa refills do refills for free , if not how much for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Adolf Hamster Posted April 23, 2020 Supporters Share Posted April 23, 2020 I normally get around 10-12 midcaps worth out of a decent 2500psi fill. Theres only one site round here does refills, and its free, but cant say every site would be the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skara Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 1200 shots isn't much tbf. I'd expect that from a 13ci, not a 48 one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not a complete fill generally, our local site runs his compressor pretty low. Also those are 200 round midcaps. I suppose i should have clarified that first time round.

Most sites that do HPA will refill for free, most fill as per above to around 2500-2800 so your 3K is instantly running lower. The pressure your system needs will have an impact on shot count as well. A lot of dive shops will fill your bottle for a couple of quid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Practically though i fill up after every round anyway, unless its been so quiet i've only used one or two mags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommikka Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 A site that runs HPA will (ideally) have at least one master holding cylinder fed by its compressor. This allows them to run the compressor when required to fill and then just top up the cylinder. They would fill players cylinders to less than the master cylinders pressure Otherwise without a master cylinder they would be running a compressor to directly fill each players cylinder, or running the compressor all day to keep the master topped up as each player draws on the air The first player gets full capacity, the next a little less etc. (The bigger the master cylinder is and the lower and more often the fills taken, the further any given master fill will go) Restrict fills to a lower level such as 2400 to 2800psi and everyone can get a matching fill. Top up regularly rather than filling from empty and the compressor has to run for less during the day https://www.scubatoys.com/paintball/scubafills2.asp Paintball sites that cater for own gunner paintballers provide free air fills. If the same sight runs airsoft then they will probably also provide free fills. This may depend as if there is only one HPA airsofter then it becomes expensive for them to kick in the compressor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
