I have an Armotech Zeus G2 that i really biggrin.gif like but it uses so much co2 that its almost imposible to play with cause you take a few shots and by the time you change 12 grams you have been pwnd by the other guys and look like a nwb mad.gif . ive tride adjusting the velocity changing o-rings to stop even the tinyest leaks and still nothing seems to work sad.gif . hope some one has the awnsers i need smile.gif

Thnx
Jeff

do u cock the gun before u put the 12gram in. that is one way to save some co2. Another thing might be how fast u put it in, try to do it really fast so little co2 escapes. As for internally, the only thing i can think of is cup seal, or that larger brass screw under the grip frame might need to be loosened or tightened. Or as rob will probably later on post, but i may as well say it before he does. Get a tac8 and all ur problems will be solved.

I always cock it otherwise the whole 12gram is emptied instantly, screwing it in fast or slow(within reason) dose not make any difference though. as for that brass screw under the grip fram, what dose it do?

Thnx

I have a G2 Zeus and a Overlord... what Co2 powerlettes are you using??? Brass Eagle, Crossman??? Don't expect to get more than 15-18 shots max outta one powerlette.. I normally get around 12-15 shots before im tossing my 12 gram powerlette the velocity drops too low. Yeah pistols suck... I suggest doing what matt says and buy a Tac 8! He personally shoots one... I bought his old G2 Zeus from him it doesnt get much use anymore sad.gif I also suggest staying away from the Overlord the bolt is #$@% deadly

sorry its actually made of copper my bad. smile.gif it is a retainer screw. If it is in to tight it might be restricting the valve, try loosening it a bight, if you loosen to much it will start to leak.

Im using the brass egal ones from bastions, as for the amount of shots, thats strange cause my cousin has a gold zeus g2 and he easily gets 25 shots before velocity drops

Tried it, no better at any adjustment i put 6 12 grams through at different adjustments and it made no differnece at all, thanx for the suggestion though!

Are tac 8's any more efficient? How many shots do you get with one 12gram?

16ish at first untill you break em in then they get up to 24+
That is what all the customers are telling me.

Sell the Zues on eBay or UsedVictoria.
