4.5 Paintball: How Many Shots Can I Get Off My Tank?

The number of shots per tank is dependent upon two main factors: the gun
itself and how finely tuned the air system is. Generally speaking, high
performance guns such as Mags, Cockers and the new electronic guns will
provide more shots per tank than the blow-back Tippmann's and Spyders.
Shots per tank will even vary on the same type of gun depending upon how
the gun is setup. The table below should be used as a general guide for
determining shots per tank. Please remember - your mileage may vary.
