you do not need the LPK. Just geta high pressure out put tank (800-850) psi and you will be fine. |

Yea, just a simple preset hgh output tank at 800 psi (the Tippmanns operating pressure) would be great for your gun. |

There are three numbers that have to do with HPA (High Pressure Air)/nitro/nitrogen/compressed air (same thing) tanks. The first is the pressure that you have seen. The 3000, 4500, and 5000 psi are the capacity of the tank itself. The higher the pressure, the more air is compressed in to the tank. There is also the cubic inch rating, as in 45ci, 68ci, or 81ci. That is the size of the tank in cubic inches. The larger the number the bigger the tank and the more air it holds. You look at both numbers to get an idea of how many shots you will get. Multiply the ci by ten for a 3000psi tank, by 15 for a 4500, and IIRC 17 for a 5000psi tank. The number that has been recommended to you 800-850 is the output pressure of the built in regulator. All HPA tanks have a regulator to reduce the 3000, 4500, or 5000 psi inside the tank to a safer 800ish, or for some special low pressure tanks, about 400. You need a normal 800ish output pressure HPA tank for your Tippmann.
Does this make sense? If not, just ask here or PM ,and I'll try to be clearer. |

Nice post.^ For the record, don't try to run your gun on Nitrous Oxide. It can't be good for the internals. |

Yes. Buy a HPA tank and then screw it into your Tippy. You don't kneed
anything else, just buy the tank and you're off. (If you wanted to fine
tune it more, a reg would help, but it's not needed.) All you need is
the air tank, and screw it in.
And what would it cost to get an HPA tank? steel or carbon fiber? 3000, 4500 or 5000 psi? How big do you want it? Just go to any online paintball shop to get a rough feeling of prices. |

N02, someones been watching a little too much 2 fast 2 furious.
You'll want a preset tank with output pressure of around 800psi. |

A cheaper steel tank that only has a capacity of 3000psi might be found for as little as $75. High end tanks can hit over $500 for something like an Angel Air.
Check out some of the online retailors for prices. |
