16 oz. Is the best IMO because It's not very long and its not that heavy either.

20 oz is perfect. If your comlaining about 20 oz being too heavy you need to wait a few more years before playing. It only has 4 oz more of c02 in it, plus teh extra weight of the metal from teh tank. Thats maybe a pound max. Probably alot less.

Bigger is better.

 All people who use small tanks need to buck up they are not that heavy, I gave away all 9 ouncers to random people at the field. I feel special.

ALUMINUM 20 oz tank. Those who say they are too heavy...my 20oz weighs less than my 9...

A 20oz perfectly balances my gun, and you won't have to worry about running out of air halfway through the game.
