Others Fusion 2 co2 cartridge problem.

For the life of me, I absolutely can't get the gun to pierce both co2 cartridges. It is just the one toward the barrel. Been like this since i bought it. Dont know if it needs broken in or what.

Try a dime or penny between the cartridges. Not all 12g co2 carts are the same size/shape, and can be enough to prevent piercing. Something I learned from my dad, although I don't remember which brand co2s he said he has to coin between.

I had debated the penny trick. Might have to actually do it

I’ve put dimes, I’ve put 2 dimes, I’ve tried all manner of things with no consistent success until I just unscrewed the whole tube threw it as far as I could and screwed on an 88 gram bottle and never looked back. I shoot mine nightly now at rats and I can’t tell you how much better it is. Gets almost 200 shots per. I haven’t done the math as far as cost goes and don’t care. The gun is so much better I actually shoot it now. It had sit in the corner for awhile because of this issue.

Answering this peaked my curiosity. Of course we are dealing with averages here and buying in small packs vs bulk, but it seems very close to a wash with the 12 gram vs 88 gram. Likely within 1 cent per shot if my quick research and math are correct.
