The charging handle actually cocks the trigger. You will notice that if you press the trigger with no gas, then load it with gas and try and shoot it won't work. You pull the charging handle and it is then cocked. When it fires, the hammer is blownback by the CO2 pressure in the plenum re-cocking it. As the gas runs down, there is not enough pressure to re-cock and you will need to then use the charging handle between shots.
ah ok - I've never run the gas this low maybe - i notice the pellets slow down and start to droop a bit , but i have just switched cartridge rather than carry on tbh - do you use an adaptor and smaller co2 cartridges?
Fun while they last,good luck.
I've been through two 88g and had loads of fun plinking away! Empty at the moment waiting for some sunshine!
@@awol555 can I mount a sling to it ?

@@awol555I have the Walther adaptor for 2x12g. I can just about get 3 mags out of it.
@@awol555 I should add I have the Canebrake: www.dropbox.com/s/56g48zx29jhyyca/Sig%20Air%20Canebrake.jpg?dl=0
Never leave your Co2 in over night. …. It will
Damage the seals. If you put a new co2. Use all up in one setting
Yes I've read this, another problem with the big 88g ones, It takes a few weekends to use it
@@awol555 yes It’s true But try to discharge all of it In one outing. Or…. Unscrew the co2. And take a loss. It’s better then ruining your gun
@@leninmercedes6567 fair point, I've left them in for 2-3 weeks so far. The small co2 adaptor is the best solution by sounds of it
@@awol555excellent point. 👍🏽
