Hello,

just purchased a bb gun (MP40 machine gun). First bb gun in 30 plus years. The last was a Red Rider and no I didn't shoot my eye out lol. Man this new stuff makes that older stuff look well … old. Any way my question is, if I had multiple magazines and loaded the co2 cartridges (2 back to back), with out being fired how long do the cartridges last? Indefinite or are they like the old, old pistols that you loaded a co2 and fired because it lost gas quickly.

Thanks Fella's
 
make it a religious task to add a drop of pellgun oil to the first co2 canistor when you load the magazine everytime.
As to holding gas - you will most likey use it up shooting so no need to worry about especially if you use the fun switch.
 
What is the sweet spot for number of bb's and length of time to use a mag? Heard that filling the mag to capacity will affect reliability.
 
I can't speak for the MP40 but my mini-UZI BB gun, on full auto, uses one standard CO2 cartridge per mag (~25 BB's).... lasts longer on semi but who wants that? I have five mags for it, shreds cans like nothing. Perfectly reliable, after it got broke in. I had to pull all the valves this summer and clean them up because they were all leaking all of a sudden, but cleaning 'em fixed that. First leaks I'd had in about 6 years though (not that I'm shooting it every day, it is expensive....)

x2 on the drop of pellgunoil on the tip of EVERY cartridge, it helps a lot.

you eat two cannisters for three mags and as to filling I have noticed that it doesn't like copperheads but other than that fill to the top
