Tonight I got my first gun, the WG 6" silver CO2 revolver (I do have the AK M4 hybrid but...). I have a few questions:
Will keeping a CO2 cartridge in for a few days hurt the gun?
Weeks?
Months?

-
No, it will not affect the gun.
-
Ok thanks, I thought that having the pressure in the parts for long periods of time might hurt it.
-
Well there is only pressure when you shoot. When the mag is just sitting in the gun, there is no Co2 leaving the mag (unless it leaks).
-
I wouldn't recommend leaving Co2 in a gun for longer than a few days. The seals will be under constant pressure causing tiny leaks and eventually the seals will just burst and then you will have a problem. Not worth it, just toss out the Co2 when your done using the gun.
-
Actually, it is harmful to the magazine seals if you leave the magazine gassed. x2 for Co2, which is a high pressure gas compared to propane. So it wont hurt the gun, but it can damage your mags.
With a Co2 gun, I wouldnt leave a cartridge in there for more than say, 2 days.
Edited:
Its a revolver, so the gas is fed directly into the gun. I take back what I just said, I would take the Co2 out when you are done shooting.

Did not realize it was a revolver. My bad.
-
Fucking take it out. Left mine in for months on accident, its unusable now. Same exact gun.
-
I took it out. Im making sure that I take it out ever two days at max and only put them in before games.
