Hey this is just for fun. I have a 20oz but would definetly go with a 9 oz or 12 oz if i needed to balance my gun but i have a remote so size doesn't really matter. I just wanted to see everyone's opinion please post why you picked what you did. ------------- http://imageshack.us">

ok headshot.....here i go.....i normally use a 9 oz. which of coarse
runs out every 2-3 games......BUT i played with a 12 oz. last time i
went...went like 4-5 games.....sooooo its really hard for me to choose
but i chose 12 oz. cause its alittle longer and last about a game or
two longer.....if i only had a couple 12 oz. tanks, then ide be
set.....but i dont i only have one 9 oz. and a 20 oz. which now i can
use because my gun is now not bottom heavy....its nice and even......so
ya...there ya go

The 12oz and 9oz are nice for size but i still prefer the 20oz pluse
gives a nicer stock feel with the bigger tank. i also prefer the
20oz round bottom tanks. i MUTCH prefer the HPA tanks though but when both the MAG and Tippy are out simotaniously the tippy runs a 20oz Co2 tank. ------------- AGD 68 Automag Azodin KPII Sheridan PGP2K Tippmann Crossover XVR Tippmann ProCarbine Tippmann SL68-II Tippmann TiPX |

I have both 16oz and a 20oz. To tell you the truth, you dont really need a 20oz. You wont notice the difference between the 20oz and the 16oz. Why you ask? becuz at some places, they wont refill your 20oz all the way, so your left with a 20oz tank, filled only to 16 ounces! They probably didnt mean to do that, but u cant really tell exactly how much c02 is goin in there. So to conclude this thread, buy a 16oz tank, it feels balanced, and good, and when your on the field, you get free re-fills. |

| I like 14 oz. because it is a little bigger than 12 but gets you a lot more shots. I use my 20 oz the most though. I always rent out my 9 oz. to my friends. They pay me like $3 and they only use half the tank. He he. |

My favorite is a 12oz. Stick a butt plate on it you now have the perfct stock. I find a 20oz too thick to sit nicely on the shoulder.
i alos like 16oz stubbies. They are great when you put the tank verticaly. -------------

I have 2 -16's and a 20, they get me more shots than I would ever need in one day and I have never had balance problems. Also if a friend runs out you can lend them a tank. -------------

I like my 20 oz. because its lighter than most nitro tanks and I have an A-5 so it works good on it. Also most tank covers work good on that size tank and it has good capacity for a day of speedball. Also its perfect size to just put against your shoulder for longaballing, sweetspotting and snapshooting.------------- My guns name is Mr. Max in remembrance of my dog that got hit by a car: Tippmann A-5 Ricochet R-5 JCS double Trigger Tippmann E-Grip Flatline Barrel Do you have the need for speed? |

| I have 2 20's and a 9 which i never use. I like the 20's cause although its heavy, it lasts awhile so its nice. I would like to invest in a remote line or something, that way the weight is off my gun. |

20 Oz w/ my A5 is the way to go, I get around 800-1000 shots give or take, that is a decent amount, because I like to shoot a lot. Most of my fields give free air so I can fill whenever I feel like it.

My air setup that I like and that is pretty cheap:
9 oz and 20 oz tank (I never use the 9 now0 too small) a drop, which helps with the 20 oz an expansion chamber, so my internals are a little better off I wish I had nitrus but don't have the money to start, and don't know where I would fill up. ------------- A-5 Response Trigger 14" All-American barrel Expansion Chamber Drop Forward |
