You do realize that it takes less time to do a quick search through stickies than to wait for a response? Its not like you have to read the whole thing...

68/4500 PSI Fiber Tank, is your best bet, lots of shots and its super light.

generally 3000psi tanks get 10 shots per ci. while 4500psi tanks get 15 shots per ci.

so if you hvae 3000psi 48 ci tank then you get generally 480ish shots, whereas if you get the same tank in a 4500psi you will get 720ish shots

so with that said, i'll let you decide which you think you need

first off. i got a Tippmann A5.

I shot around 500-600shots with a 12oz, and 700-800 with a 20oz. those are the only 2 tanks i got.

so with the Empire 56/4500 HPA Tank i could shot around 840ish balls. really good and its gonna cost me way less then the CO2 that we got here. For my 12oz it cost me 8$ to fill it up. and for my 20oz its 12$. and the guy that fills it up told me that the compresed air would be around 2-3$ to fill up the tank. so ya i think ill buy the Empire 56/4500 HPA Tank.

I would go with a 68/45. You will get more shots, and its not that big.
Even a 70/45 stubby Crossfire would be good. A5s do not get great
efficiency.
