I just bought a new Project Salvo with a remote coil and a 3000psi tank. When I have the coil attached between my tank and marker it will "die off" (like it is out of CO2) if I pull the trigger rapidly, after about the fourth or fifth trigger pull and only when I fire rapidly. It seems like it needs more time to refill the co2 in the hose or something. When I hook my tank up directly to my marker i can pull the trigger as fast as I can with no issues. So it has to be my remote, right?

You tank does not have co2 in it, or it shouldn't.

But the remote could be restricting the air flow and causing shoot down like your having.

You sure its co2?

Assuming you're not putting CO2 into a compressed air tank (pretty sure OP just mistyped)...

Does your remote hose have an on/off adapter where it attaches to the tank, or is it a simple ASA fitting? If it is an on/off adapter, make sure that you're opening the valve all the way.

Also, what type of tank regulator is on your tank (assuming it is an HPA tank) and what brand of hose are you using?

Or not too far. Screwing the valve in too far can also restrict air flow.

On CO2 tanks or certain kinds of regulator valves?

Pretty much on any. A bunch of the on/off ones can screw in far enough to actually push the pin down, but then at the same time block the hole that the air would then come through. Gotta find the proper medium.

[owenstanek]

It is a CO2 tank and I am sure it has CO2 in it. I am starting to think that I need to loosen the On/Off valve, may have had it too tight. I'm gonna give it a try ASAP.

[M6Dean]

but you said you got a 3000psi tank, that implies that it is HPA not co2.

what does your tank look like?

This is the tank I got: Pure Energy 48cu 3000psi Tank Low Pres. Try this link http://www.airsplat.com/Items/PA-PE-48CU-3000.htm It has a picture of it. I think its a CO2 tank but it is rated in PSI or am i way off?

Two things:

1. This is an HPA/Compressed air tank, not a CO2 tank.
One way you can tell is that HPA tanks are designated by their volume and pressure, (like 48cu/3000psi) whereas CO2 tanks are designated by the weight of CO2 vapor they can hold (20oz, 9oz, etc.)

2. If this is indeed the tank you're using with the Project Salvo, the output pressure could be the problem. This is a low-pressure output tank, intended for use with low-pressure electronic guns. Your project Salvo is designed to be run on high-output HPA or unregulated CO2.

I'm kind of surprised your gun is shooting properly at all being fed by this tank, remote hose or no.
Have you been able to chronograph the marker since getting this tank?

your right I have a HPA Tank with CO2 in it. I'm surprised that Scheel's sold it to me and filled up the HPA tank with CO2. Or maybe they had filled it with HPA, I'm not sure. Well thanks for the help

[eforce]

Don't buy equipment from general stores like that. Half the time you'll see employees that have never even played before.

[owenstanek]

No I have not been able to chronograph it at all. I thought that it wasn't shooting as far as it should but I was shooting at about 90 feet and hitting a 2' X 2' target 90% of the shots.

[owenstanek]

Hope it won't hurt my gun if it was HPA in it?

[owenstanek]

so it turns out it was a HPA system filled with air not CO2. They were claiming at the store when I returned that it would work better on the gun and maybe it would have if I hadn't tightened the on/off switch too much. But I switched out to CO2 tanks and I think it works better.

[neophyte]

HPA will not damage your gun. but like stated before you need a HP tank or co2. the reason you were having problems is the the tank was LP not because of the gas in it. the salvo will shoot fine on hpa as long as the output is right

[aerosaaber]

If you are buying things from places that don't know anything about paintball, you're going to want to do a ton of research first. (that's what the forum is for)

I absolutely HATE HATE HATE it when I go into a store/car dealer/whatever and they don't know a damn thing about what they're selling.

So, get to reading and learning and then you won't have to take the advice of know-nothings.

[GhostJedai]

While this may be an issue of LP v HP, I've never actually heard of a remote coil limiting recharge, so I believe it's more a concern of the recharge rate of the tank reg. Unless it's a higher-end ninja, GA or CP reg, that might be an issue.
