Quick Question
 
Hey guys i just wanted to know. with the GBB mags ...after playing a game and there is some gas left in it... whats a good way to use it up? i hear if you leave it in then it eats away at your seals. is there another way of getting it all out that doesnt involve firing the gun and doesnt involve screwing up the gun?

TNX! - Iggy

Well, you could just press down on the valve with your thumb, or if you're a puny girlie-man, against the corner of a soft object to release the gas. ;)

That said, you shouldn't store GBB mags totally empty - when you do, the seals go funky because of the lack of internal pressure. You need to store them with a bit of pressure to keep the seals aligned and pressurized.

I was told that this was a bad idea and might screw up your gun :p

When I mean soft, I mean really soft....like an upholstered chair or something. Not concrete or metal...you could scratch/gouge the valve face. Be careful, don't press too hard, and let out a bit of gas at a time.

I've been using propane in my gun for games but I use a half-second burst of duster when I store my mags between games - just enough to keep the valve pressured. Just remember that if you do use duster you should use Tetrafluoroethane (aka HFC134a) not Difluoroethane. Difluoro will eat your seals.
