u mean tank right? if so i know they get 20oz and maybe a 24oz but im not sure. I've never actually seen a 24oz but i here rumors about them. but 20oz is really as big as u need after that the tank starts getting bigger than the gun ------------- http://imageshack.us">

Okay, thanks. I was wondering because of the drop foward. Didn't look like a 20 oz would fit. And yes, I meant tank. |

hehe just buy it. its a great gun. i think it even matches up close to the A-5. the barrel looks cool but i forget what it actually is stock i think it might be werks but if its not get a werks or jj ceramic 12'' inch because too long of barrels create more friction and they dont make the gun more accurate or longer range they also hog gas the only advantage to a long barrel is poking it thru brush so if ur playing woods get a 14" to a 16" u shouldnt ever go over 14 but if u !MUST! only go to 16 ------------- http://imageshack.us">

i have that gun....when you put the 20 oz on it, its really bottom
heavey.....oh and to answer you question, yes it will fit....all drop
forawards or asa's fit any kind of tank......but ok......if you get it
and plan to use a 20 oz get something to even out the weight, like an
expantion chamber, with the vertical feed, and a j&j 14" ceramic
barrel, thats all that i have, and even with a 20 oz its not bottom
heavy anymore.....but all i use is a 9 oz or a 12 oz, im more of a mid
to front player.....i charge alot....woodsball....so ya hope that
helped....plus HeadshotJester said alot of true stuff to.....well yep there ya go

| Okay, thanks for the help. If I can, I'll get a better barrel than the werks. Maybe a 14". |

i still reccomend the 12'' unless u have to have the 14'' because the 12'' gives u less barrel to have poking out or to get in the way of u and the dodrito ur hiding behind. but if ur playing woodsball more than speed u still might want the 12'' unless u like the ground and bushes more than the trees. ------------- http://imageshack.us">

Grab the Pro, its definately where Tippmann is at right now. Weight is an easy problem to solve, and hey, while your at it, why not upgrade as well? Assuming you buy the Electronic Pro... Grab either a Regulator or an Expansion Chamber. Palmers is top-of-the-line for CO2, and it works well with HPA if you have it. They run (I believe) around 70$. If thats too much, an alternative would be to pick up a X-Core 8 stage expansion. Its only 20$ and does EXTREMELY well. ------------- Unofficial Tippmann On-Field Spokesperson -Bunkering Non-Tippmann users since 1999 |

but if the gun is to off balanced for u and u dotn want to buy all thos upgrades just get a 12 oz unless the air at ur field costs ya for each load no matter what size tank. the 12oz is perfectly fine just most ppl like the 20 oz becuz we're all too lazy to wait 2 minutes for a refill but if its affecting ur game definatly get the 12 oz. ------------- http://imageshack.us">

| Just got the gun today. In a short while, I'll prolly buy the 14" from a friend. |

thas fine tghe reason i suggested the 12'' is becuz like i say oin every forum its just less to have poking out or between u and the dodrito that ur hiding behind, but if you were doing a friend a favor by buying there's i'd get a fren's 14'' rather than ebay's 12, plus no shipping! ------------- http://imageshack.us">

one of my "friends" sucks at selling stuff like that......ok he bought
2000 rounds of paint, and i asked if i could use a hopper full.....so
he was like you can if you pay me $4....for one hopper.....i its only
200 rounds....and if he asked for a hopper full i wouldnt let him pay
me, ide be a friend......ok so sorry about that.................anyway
like i said above there really isnt a difference in the 14 and the 12

Well, I used a hopper-full of paint today. Had quite a few breaks in the barrel. And I wasn't pleased with the noise or recoil. HOWEVER. I love the double trigger, the butt plate, and the accuracy. And Jester, shipping will be added to the cost. He lives in Florida. I don't. |

o o wel its still a good deal. and the breaks were probably from the combo of the stock abrrel and breaking in the gun. after a couple games it will work fine. well it should anyways. ------------- http://imageshack.us">

if u got the custom pro like i did to get the most out of those upgrades, u need to modify your trigger so u can walk it fast and smoothly, and the e-grip. heres a pretty accurate price quote for those two upgrades at the top: Rufus Dawg Center Feed Kit "$49.95" Palmers Male Stabilizer Kit "$100" total cost for awsome upgrade = $150!!!!! |
, i reccomend buying a centre feed kit from Rufus Dawg, should eliminate chopping, and buy a palmers male stabilzer! those two combined will make your tippy awsome!
