    Another trick to help evacuate the gas quicker is putting a penny in the cap (under the base of the c02 cartridge), and drill a small hole in the cylinder. That'll help the cylinder shells pop a little quicker.

    Definitely. I never really got much of a result from the penny, and I try to keep mods from being permanent in case I change my mind. But if you want them to pop fast, a hole will definitely help

    1 tip. Regularly check the tightness of the nut that holds the needle. If it come of. When it blow I sends the needle flying and you never will find it.. guess how I know 😂

    the part where you say that screwing out the end cap for one turn is pretty darn dangerous i tried at and basically exploded and the cap flew 3m away from the shell and the shell+core flew so high that it landede in a tree 2m above me :O

    Technically, the rubber grommet is there to keep the co2 cartridge centered with the needle! It's not strictly necessary, it will work without it... But it's good to have!

    Yeah that’s not correct bud. If you read the manual it says under “safety tips” you are not supposed to add any “material” inside. Also a lot of fields ban that practice because it’s unregulated BB’s flying out. I would strongly recommend against doing that.
