if your going to get nitro i suggest 4500psi there a little bit more, but they have more shots per tank. i think its 10shots per ci in a 3000psi and 15shots per ci in a 4500 tank. correct me if im wrong. ------------- "OBSESSED IS A WORD THE LAZY USE TO DESCRIBE THE DEDICATED" |

Is this true? Although Air and Nitrogen are different in the world of science and everything but paintball, I am almost positive that they are the exact same thing in paintball. I am sure that it is all actually compressed air, but some people call it nitrogen because air is like 70-80% percent nitrogen. I am almost sure you could mix them since they are the dsame thing, just labeled differently.

With a 68/3000 tank you get almost 700 shots I think. Thats why I prefer to have a 72/3000 instead. ------------- TIPPMANN 98 CUSTOM 14" Progressive barrel 32* Black gel grips BT-16 Double trigger Pen Spring Mod X-core Expansion Chamber Vertical Adapter |

it means PSI that it is. 3000 tank holds 3000psi of air. 4500 holds 4500psi ------------- http://www.imageshack.us">

Im not saying that this forum isnt great because it is one of my favorites, it is just that misinformation is rampant on these boards. ------------- Proto Matrix/Crossfire 92/45 Fund- $730/1150 |
