do you have to adjust the screw that controls number of shots when switching from CO2 to HPA? I understand CO2 is about 850 PSI and HPS 1200 PSI.

I was advised to use regular compressed air to better the accuracy of the gun. It also "freezes" up less with the regular compressed air as with C02 it tends to freeze up when firing rapidly. Hope this helps. As for the screw, maybe if I would've figured that out, I'd have better luck with the C02. It's 30 degrees here and too cold to use C02 outside as the gas itself freezes up.

I've put a cartridge in mine, fired it a couple of times, set it down for weeks, picked it back up and it is fine. No apparent loss of pressure. Michael's answer of around 70 shots is probably pretty accurate. I haven't counted but you can definitely tell when the cartridge needs changing. You can hear when the pellet doesn't have the same punch behind it and the pellets start hitting low. I think it may be more like 50 shots? I know that when I do notice the cartridge needs changing, I unscrew the cap and only get a short "phisst" and that is it. It's empty. It uses all the CO2 effectively.

The top gauge shows the pressure to your keg, which you typically set to between 8-12 psi, depending on how much carbonation you want, using the knurled knob below it (clockwise to increase pressure and counter-clockwise to lower pressure). The gauge on the left shows the pressure in your CO2 tank (typically about 500 psi if kept refrigerated, higher if not). The left gauge reading doesn't change until the CO2 tank is almost empty.

It is a little difficult to adjust. I've had this problem with other brands and models. The two screws only control (or hold) 2 sides of each axis of the laser diode. The other 2 sides are controlled by springs pressing against the diode. You have to adjust each screw at the same time to get it on target. I adjusted mine to where it is dead on. So it can be done with a little time and patience. It took me 10 minutes at the most to zero mine in. And as every other model, after so many shots fired ( 50+ ) it needs to be readjusted. You can improve this by using Loc-Tite on the threads to prevent the screws from backing out ( or loosening). Using this product will make it a little more difficult to turn the adjustment tool. This only means the product is doing its job. A little extra: using a bore sight laser ( one that is the same shape has the ammo you are using and will chamber like a live round) will help a lot to sight in your new laser sight. The bore laser is zeroed in at the factory with special machines that ensure its dead center with the barrel and won't offset.

High and low pressure settings come pre set from the factory for a given range such as 20/40 or 40/60. That being said either of these pre set pressures can be adjusted by use of 2 pressure adjustment spring loaded screws. There is a limit to the adjustment so you should purchase a switch that is pre-set closest to the pressures needed or wanted for your system. Remember if your system has a bladder type expansion tank the air pressure will need to be reset in the bladder if you change the low pressure setting on your pressure switch. I hope this is beneficial.

Yes it comes with co2 but most places use HPA tanks which you can either trade at a paintball place or buy one here on Amazon and have both

if using CO2 then need to go hobbie shop are Paintball , welding shop any one who supply's CO2... or N2 gas but need different bottle . can be connected directly to a compresser , but not moble , still fun.

You can keep the cartridge in the gun as long as you want. It might lose some air over time but if you tighten the screw hard enough it will retain air. But if you remove the cartridge while its still full you will lose all the co2.

Depends on how fast one works it. I've been using it on the regular 5 gallon apprx. 4 scfm at 90 psi compressor just fine. You may consider upgrading your air supply if you have more than one guy shooting.

It's a co2 my friend.the tank goes were the hand grip is at.. it shoots pretty good too.

This gun is very co2 friendly, you can get about 100 full power shots and another hundred not at full power

The maximum FPS is roughly 400, and I'd say if you modified it you could get it to be considerably lower, like around 350, but most CO2 pistols have inconsistent BB velocity because of the unavoidable CO2 leakage.

You can adjust it as low as you want. As far as psi, I have no clue, but the adjustment is very fine meaning you have nice control over the flow, not like some where it's more of an on/off switch.

It uses 12 gram CO2 cartridges. You should expect between 40-50 shots depending on the weather conditions you are shooting in. Thanks Pyramyd Air Team

the carver one stock requires you to unscrew the gun in order to put the stock on the gun . I never use the stock the co2 acts like one . hope this helpsmanowarjosh9

That depends upon how much you care about your marker. It has standard threads, but if you really care about your orings n such you'll get an hpa tank. Co2 will freeze o rings under heavy use. My 98 puts up with it, but it's a 98. If you're looking for consistency through out the tank, get an hpa tank. If you're a rec player, this will work.

Since this is a high powered air gun the CO2 should last around 60 rounds. I've let it sit for months with the CO2 in with no loss in power. Much cheaper than buying 357 magnum but just as fun, at least at short range.
