What is the Gen4's air efficiency like?

I'd like to build a Gen4 around the end of this year(among other guns) and was wondering how many shots you guys usually get off a 4500 fill(whatever size your tank may be, just list the tank size too). Thanks for the info!

I dont usually pay attention to how efficient my infamous is, but the other day i noticed a week ago that i shot 2 pods (280) and a hopper (180) off about 1000 psi....460 shots/1000 psi
which seems a little wrong cause it means i'm getting around 2000 shots from a 68/45, so maybe it was a little more than 1000 psi i lost

but the efficiency on a properly setup and broken in gen4 is amazing

i get like 8-9 pods and a hopper off my 45/4500 (never had a full 4500 fill but did a rough conversion from 3900 to 4500).

it is the most efficient gun currently on the market

i thought the ego and cyborg are?

g/l building a gen4. Haven't heard of many gen4's being parted out yet.

Not right now, probably in the begining of 2007.

And the great efficiency makes me happy.

I squeeze about 9/10 pods off a 45/45

mughead · 08-06-2006, 05:55 PM

Very efficient if setup properly as all guns are.

I was getting 7 pods plus hopper today off 3500 psi on a 70ci peanut tank. usaly had 600 to 800 left

Murder-Hearts · 08-06-2006, 07:26 PM

3 pods and a hopper off somewhere around 2 grand.

alien_invasion47 · 08-07-2006, 01:29 AM

got 800 rounds out of 3000 psi yesterday... thats almost 6 pods!

on a full 4500 fill (45ci tank) ill get around 1200 shots.

blaster44 · 08-07-2006, 05:58 AM

About 1400 shots from 45/4500 and 1600 shots from 68/4500.

alien_invasion47 · 08-07-2006, 07:25 AM

you must be running the LPR at like 45 or so yeah?

Im running mine at aroun 60psi... its a little inconsistant on the chrony wat lower PSI... and i cant imagine a time when ill be shooting more than 1000 rounds in a game, let alone 1200 - 1400 =) haha (i play front - im lucky to reload in a game!)

Only 200 more shots from 23 extra ci? That sounds odd...seeing as how that's a 50% increase...

Those are not the rates from my Timmy. They are from my friend's Infamous and he doesn't fine tune his markers.
