Will a "Nitro-Duck" 68 4500 work well with my setup? I can get this tank cheap and it was hydroed last year. I need a tank with a relatively good refresh rate because of the response trigger. Would it be worth spending an extra $30 to get a crossfire, or will this serve my needs fine? Please help!! ------------- Tippmann A-5 Polished Internals E-Grip Ape Board JCS Blade Trigger QEV 8" Bigshot + Apex Ricochet R-5 / Tac Cap Palmers Stabilizer 68/4500 Crossfire |

Nitro Duck are in my opinion, the best next to MacDev Air.

Thanks, that's all I needed to know :D Also, would it be a better deal to get the 68/4500 nitro duck for $130, or a 88/45 Pure Energy for $130? And... are these good deals to begin with? ------------- Tippmann A-5 Polished Internals E-Grip Ape Board JCS Blade Trigger QEV 8" Bigshot + Apex Ricochet R-5 / Tac Cap Palmers Stabilizer 68/4500 Crossfire |

Usally I'll say Crossfire, or Centerflag, but... My advise is just stay away from pure energy tanks.

When i rented one there was no difference. Hopefully the better reg on the nitro duck will give me more consistancy. Without a reg it's pretty much as consistant as co2, but wont change with weather and won't make the marker freeze. Less shootdown as well. ------------- Tippmann A-5 Polished Internals E-Grip Ape Board JCS Blade Trigger QEV 8" Bigshot + Apex Ricochet R-5 / Tac Cap Palmers Stabilizer 68/4500 Crossfire |
