16 oz. Is the best IMO because It's not very long and its not that heavy either. -------------

20 oz is perfect. If your comlaining about 20 oz being too heavy you
need to wait a few more years before playing. It only has 4 oz more of
c02 in it, plus teh extra weight of the metal from teh tank. Thats
maybe a pound max. Probably alot less. Bigger is better. ------------- A-5 E-Grip JCS Dual Trigger DOP X-CORE 8 stage x-chamber Lapco Bigshot 14" Beadblasted Optional setup: R/T Dead on Blade trigger |

All people who use small tanks need to buck up they are not that heavy, I gave away all 9 ouncers to random people at the field. I feel special.

ALUMINUM 20 oz tank. Those who say they are too heavy...my 20oz weighs less than my 9...
A 20oz perfectly balances my gun, and you won't have to worry about running out of air halfway through the game. |
