| WGP WorrGas 70ci/4500psi is a good one. I haven't had any problems with them. Check out http://www.pbreview.com - PbReview for a better idea of what's good and what's not. |

I'm guessing he meant a 88/4500.

| You can get a WGP for $197 at Pbfanatics.com, where a 71ci Crossfire would cost about $20-30 more. |

It should, just make sure you use the HIGH output even with low pressure If it doesnt fit I suggest a remote. -------------

Javas recharge rate is crap and the tanks are cheap. Don't buy... DYE throttle tanks are horrible, it takes them 170 ms to recharge to 95% of their original pressure after a shot.The ONLY good thing about the Dye Throttle is it's light...other than that, it sucks. It uses a schrader valve from tire valve stems, and they would break about every other time I took my tank off my gun, don't think those little valves were designed for 850psi. If you like to not play paintball and screw with your POS tank all day, get a Throttle, cause that's all that I and a friend did after we bought them.
------------------------------------------------------------ ------
I myself would recomend an Air America Apocalypse 2K. They have the fastest recharge rate of any tank at the moment. They also are the best quality around. The only problem is that they're pretty pricey.
You can also go with a crossfire. There recharge rates are right up there with the Apoc's. They're a good quality tank too. They are resonably priced.
If you can find a flatline I'd get it. They are/were the best made tanks ever. I have two. I'm using one and the other is in my closet. I aint gettin rid of her any time soon(unless agd decides to start making them again
 )P.S.- Nitro duck is an ok brand. They have ok recharge rates and tanks are made pretty well. There customer service sucks though.
