Well, you guys have probably read my other thread stating that i want to get a new pb gun, well seeing as i'm doing this, im going to need to buy a compressed air tank to meet the requirments of my gun.

Here is my question:

What brand should i buy of tank, and would it be more worth it to go cheaper, and get the aluminum can, or save up and get the fibre wrapped one?

Answers please

EDIT: Also, my friend told me that (while i still have my A-5) that if you tried hooking up Compressed air to a remote coil, it wouldnt work, is this true?

um deffinetly get a Crossfire tank they are deffinetly the best tanks out their.  I wood go with a fiber wrapped tank but its not a necesity to have a fiberwrapped one.  I wood suggest a 68ci 4500 psi tank it is a great size.  ANd for your last question i dont see why a HPA tank wood not work with a remot coil i think it should work fine. i aint sure though.

For $200 get a crossfire HIGH PRESSURE tank.  Make sure it is high pressure with your current gun.  If you have $300 to spend, get a Macdev or Evil Scion HPA tank.  They are adjustable and can be used on guns in which you buy in the future.

Like stated before, go for a Crossfire. I have a crossfire 68/3, and I love it. It all depends on your consistency though. If your marker is a gashog, I'd say get the Evil Scion. It has a 5000 fill!

Yeah Crossfire is the best. Dont be cheap and get a smaller or crappier tank because you will regret it. 68/4500 is the best.

A remote line WILL work with any HPA tank. People often think that a remote that says "Max 3000psi" will explode or not work with a 4500psi tank. There aint 4.5k coming out of that tank, its regulated under 850psi.

The first tank you listed, DONT GET!!! Youll get under 400shots which goes by very very fast. Your better off using co2 than that. Trust my youll regret it.

Get the 68/4500. Youll get the shot capacity of a 20oz. Dont be afraid to spend more, its well worth it. Believe me, Im still pissed a bought a 68/3000.

Right now, pretty much all the Crossfire (and other brands too) are backordered in the fiber-wrapped versions. Apparently, the carbon fiber material is in very short supply.

Crossfire is working on a different coating, made from a glass composite that should work about the same but use a more readily available material. I'm told it's about a 2-3 week delay expected before they're available for retail again.

Just giving a heads up.

Yeah, thanks, and im gonna go and get the 68/45000

Btw, county, so that means, if i was to buy that tank, the very instant you finish reading this, that it would take 2 weeks for you to get it, then ship to me.... or just two weeks for me to get it?
