It depends. Do you play on a commercial field where you can get refills whenever you need them or are you playing in the woods where one tank has to last you all day? |

I play both, but I probably play in the woods more often |

I have a 9 and 2 12s. A 12 alone can last me a day. It just depends on how much you shoot and hot much your guns uses. If you wont bebale to get refills and will be playing all day, I'd go with a 20. ------------- Pumpker'd; (V.)

The response and cyclone don't use up more gas (I believe). And co2 will spit out the same amount of pressure so why the difference in "needed" sizes? -------------

| This is something that depends on how you play. If you don't like the weight of a 20 oz bottle, go with a 9 or 12 oz, or get a remote. Also, keep in mind that you can carry a spare 9 or 12 oz bottle in place of one of your pods, handy if you don't shoot through a mountain of paint and travel light. Even with my A5 and Egrip set on full auto, a 12 oz will last for more than 500 shots. |

| Get a 20 oz and a 9 oz. Then use the 20oz as your main source and carry the 9 oz in you pocket as a backup tank incase you run out of air while shooting. Thats what I do. |

get a 20 OZ and go remote, works awesome for me. Light weight sure, a little front heavy yes, but it makes the gun very compact and is great for close action. ------------- In a world where everyone has gone mad, only the lunatic is truly sane. |

The Cyclone and response trigger run off of waste gases that are primarily for blowing back the bolt. They don't affect the total CO2 usage. I have 12oz tanks. They are not too big. All these same people telling you to get a 20oz tank are the same people who will whine about markers being too heavy. fo figure. And a 12 is not so small that you run out in the middle of a game. I also have an E-bolt and can go through lots of paint. Two 12oz tanks will keep me going all day. ------------- United States Marine Corps....

| well i just went for two 9's in place of one 20, cause it pretty much adds up to the same amout of CO2 and its a lot lighter. are there any problems with this idea? |

I started out with a 9oz. It was a great size for me at the time, and now I run with a 12oz. My field only sells 20oz, which I just don't like to haul around, but I had an out of date tank last week and had to buy one at the shop.
At the outside I feel comfortable with the balance I get from a 16oz. I use little paint so the tank size is entirely optional for me. If it weren't so squat I'd go with a 3.5oz. -------------

i have an a-5 wiht a 16 " J&J and i find that a 20 oz ballances it very well, and even if you dont use it all in one time playing( i usualy play a few games a day, a few times a week at my friends farm, 2v2 and i can last almost 2 weeks on that, very handy ------------- "FIRST THERE" a-5 16" J&J ceramic polished internals X7 low profile hopper costom painted 20 oz tank |

| I first started paintball with a 9 oz steel tank. I bought a Model 98 when they first came out, and got a 20 oz aluminum tank. The two tanks are almost identical in weight, perhaps the 9oz is slightly heavier. So I use the 20 oz and have no problems. |

| sorry for all the stupid questions, but how many shots would i get out of two 9 oz tanks? would it add up to about a 20? i just went with the 9s cause at Dicks the 20 oz costed as much as two 9s. rip off. and all the other stores were out of CO2 and i needed some pretty quickly |

Go with a 20oz, it will suit you fine, and the response and cyclone don't use any more air than the gun alone.
