92 Ci is really big. Are you buying the tank at a store or online? If it's at a store, go test it out to make sure. And if you find a cover MADE for 92ci's it'll fit perfect. ------------- Video: http://pbvids.gamesxposed.com/files1/RTP.1116548567.wmv - My Automag RT Pro ::: http://boydsters-pics.mypicgallery.com/ - My Gallery ::: |

You might have to make one. That would make your gun even more unique.

I believe he was talking about the drop forward where it would rub against. ------------- Video: http://pbvids.gamesxposed.com/files1/RTP.1116548567.wmv - My Automag RT Pro ::: http://boydsters-pics.mypicgallery.com/ - My Gallery ::: |

just use like a thick sock or two as a tank cover. but that doesnt sound like a good idea getting a tank that big just because the nearest fill station is 45 mins away. just get a smaller tank and get it filled when u go the feild -------------

oh and i dont play at a regular field, i play at my very rich friends speedball field. he is VERY rich but not all like ooo i got a angel look at me. he just supplied us with a 5 and 7 man airball field. i might try to convince him to buy a couple scuba tanks and fill stations then i will try to get trained to fill them or something.Posted By: PBinfonater

i love dye rino covers but ive never seen them past 68 ci awsome covers though ... so durably they save me lots of expensive dings
that tank ur getting though is gonna last forever especialy w/ a reg u could just get a 68 ci 5000 im sure that would last plenty till u make ur way by the place to get it filled |

Can you imagine how many shots a 92ci, 5000psi tank would get? That's just crazy. Add a secondary regulator and a low pressure kit to that and you'll get even more shots per tank...
Imagine a sock over a tank. Not pretty. But looks aren't everything... ------------- Video: http://pbvids.gamesxposed.com/files1/RTP.1116548567.wmv - My Automag RT Pro ::: http://boydsters-pics.mypicgallery.com/ - My Gallery ::: |

i have that exact tank and a 88ci DYE Rhino, it fits a little tight,
but it gets the job done, an 88ci and a 92ci aren't much different in
size at all.

Ummm... hey Boydster- the LPK doesn't add any gains to air efficiency. It just lowers the operating pressure, but still releases about the same amount of gas. And DYE Rhino covers are very cool. I dropped (ok, my fiance) my tank on the gravel parking lot at the field I play at, and I almost flipped my lid. I dove down after it and pulled it outta the case to inspect the damage (while she got the "Oh ****!" look on her face) and to my surprise (and relief) there was absolutely no dings/ scratches. Needless to say, she's not allowed to hold my tank for a while. ------------- A-5 E-grip Chipley Custom Carbon Graphite 16" Evil Adapter(Spyder) 32 Deg New '03 XChamber Remote Line Gun Sling Sniper f/x Stock LPK 68/4500 HPA R-5 CP Reg JCS Duel Trigger |

Hmm.... you're right. I was thinking since the operating pressure was low, it'd only use 350psi per shot. I forgot that it had to have more than that to fire a ball. So what it does it release the air more slowly? EDIT: My tank rolled off the trunk of my mother's car(4ft up) and ended up ok. Can they be damaged by impacts like that? Good thing the cover was on. ------------- Video: http://pbvids.gamesxposed.com/files1/RTP.1116548567.wmv - My Automag RT Pro ::: http://boydsters-pics.mypicgallery.com/ - My Gallery ::: |
