ok i have finally decided to buy a nitro tank, i dont have more than 100 dollars so i need some ideas about nitros less than 100 ( maybe like a 48ci), and is there anything i need to change on my gun? i already have an expansion chamber and drop foward if that helps or doesnt help, thanks  ------------- Tippmann 98 custom 12 inch JJ Pro 1 Barrel Dead on drop foward expansion chamber pen spring mod 12v Revvy w/ x board Dead on 2x Trigger |

| I have the perfect solution: Don't worry about fiber wrapped, get aluminum (at less than $100, they're less than half the cost). Fiber wrapped are supposed to be lighter, but if you go into the shop and hold an aluminum and a fiber wrapped in each hand, you'll discover the fiber wrapped aren't that much lighter at all! And if by any chance you use a remote, than the weight difference is irrelevant anyway. |

but will i need to get a nitro tank that has a pin valve or what ever, because i have an expansion chamber so will that limit my options at all? ------------- Tippmann 98 custom 12 inch JJ Pro 1 Barrel Dead on drop foward expansion chamber pen spring mod 12v Revvy w/ x board Dead on 2x Trigger |

| an expansion chamber is useless with a nitro tank on the gun. it will not change the performance in any way, good nor bad. get a steel tank instead of the fiber wrapped ones like the other guy said. |

| buying a really small HPA tank is a waste of money because you hardly get any shots, and you will regret buying it. |

What was said about tank weights is untrue. I have a 48ci
aluminum (PMI) that weighs the same as a 114ci fiber wrapped
(crossfire). The fiber wrapped are signifigantly lighter. A
plus for me though, was that I got my large tank used (but just
re-hydroed) so it was also signifigantly cheaper.

u need to sell your expansion chamber to help get a secondary reg, cause x chambers are usless with HPA, and a secondary reg is obviously going to help you a lot more. its not required, ur hpa will work, but like i said it will definatly help. http://www.actionvillage.com/is-bin/INTERSHOP.enfinity/eCS/Store/en/-/USD/DisplayProductInformation-Start;sid=-g9l1ZR9-ztludY37pWlfZ7bBeL8Bg9_lJw=?ProductID=KETAqArbgpgAAAD_Y8dHHdvd - http://www.actionvillage.com/is-bin/INTERSHOP.enfinity/eCS/S tore/en/-/USD/DisplayProductInformation-Start;sid=-g9l1ZR9-z tludY37pWlfZ7bBeL8Bg9_lJw=?ProductID=KETAqArbgpgAAAD_Y8dHHdv d wo, big link sorry lol that should be a great size ur looking for, a tad expesive though. ------------- A-5 Flatline E-Grip Tapco T-6 stock JCS Duel Trigger JCS Universal BiPod Core Remote 88ci/4500psi Crossfire R-5 Hopper Apex Barrel Hot Shot red dot Lapco offset Spec Ops A5-A2 grip |

Well buying a 48ci is a waste of money because the most shots you will be able to get out of them is about 450 shots without a reg. ------------- TIPPMANN 98 CUSTOM 14" Progressive barrel 32* Black gel grips BT-16 Double trigger Pen Spring Mod X-core Expansion Chamber Vertical Adapter |
