Can I leave the co2 in my gun if it's still full and I'm not using it anymore. Example if I go hunting small pest with my co2 gun. And maybe only take 4 or 5 shots and no more pest to shoot. Can I leave the co2 in or do I need to release all the co2 out before I store it away. Can I leave the co2 in for weeks? Months? A year? I have pcp guns and I always leave them full for weeks and months without shooting and it's fine. I wonder can the same be for co2 guns.

You will get different opinions. Some will tell you yes you can and others will tell you not to leave CO2 in the gun. Take your pick. I leave the CO2 in any of my guns and don't have a problem. I have a Crosman 115 that had CO2 in it for well over a year and still functioned perfectly. However, with some guns the cartridge my try to stick to the seal and not want to drop out. Always put a drop of something like Pelgun oil on the tip of the cartridge and usually you won't have a problem.

Yes
If a CO2 cartridge sticks in a gun, hold the gun down so the cartridge can fall out and dry fire the gun.
If this fails, tighten the cartridge screw and then remove it and dry fire again.

It depends on the gun man. My umarex fusions seal would swell if co2 was left in it. I bought a new end cap with a different seal from archer airguns and it will hold c02 forever.

I have zero problems storing Crosmans with CO2 in long term. But more importantly consider bulk fill CO2 guns (ie: my Daisy 887), standard paintball seal on air tube and same seals on valve as powerlet guns.... designed to hold the gas. Be religious with Pelgun oil .
