Sold my TiPX. Kind of miss it. I didn't like the remote line setup. The 12 grams only provided 12-21 shots depending on the typical factors - weather, paint size, fps setting, quality of cartridge, rate of fire, etc. That wouldn't be too bad by itself, but you have to shoot the gun to drain the cartridge enough to be able to unlock the CO2 cap. I was wondering if anyone ever tried a knurled thumb screw through the CO2 cap in place of the two set/grub screws that are in there? When cartridge is low, instead of shooting it, just back out the thumb screw. This would drain the CO2 in the marker, keeping it a bit quieter. Undo the cap like normal, pop in another cartridge, put the cap back on, and tighten the thumb screw. I'm thinking the squishiness of the 12 gram seal would keep the thumb screw from backing out for the 12-21 shots that it lasts. Anyone ever try this?
Thinking about getting another TiPX to try this. I would carry paintballs in a dump pouch, extra CO2 12 gram cartridges in pockets (another dump pouch, shotgun shell belt, TBD), and only run one Zetamag. While I'm shooting the 10 in the top portion of the mag, I could be reloading the bottom 10 from the paintballs in the dump pouch. No remote line, no vest for extra mags, minimalist setup. Thoughts?
