javascript window.close"> I'm thinking about getting this ^ HPA tank I'm going to be getting it in 110ci at 4500psi. But I wan't to know how big this is going to be, so if anyone has some pics of a 110ci air tank that show good comparison that would be great. I tried google and couldn't find anything. (just a pic of a 110ci air tank next to a quarter would be fine, or something like that). And yes, I've done the math of how big 110ci is, but the tank is still going to be a little bigger than that, so its hard for me to guess on the air tanks actual size so thanks for the help in advanced.
Buying the tank from this web site: http://www.xtremez.com/paintball/product_information.asp?number=TKNP45P&variation=45&aitem=&mitem=&back=yes&dept=86 - http://www.xtremez.com/paintball/product_information.asp?num ber=TKNP45P&variation=45&aitem=&mitem=&back= yes&dept=86 ------------- Tippmann A-5: >Tapco CAR stock. >W.A.S. board, E-grip. >Spyder Remote Line. >Smart Parts 20" barrel. >Other custom mods. |

Holy crapola. 110 is flippin' ginormous. That almost doubles the size of my 68 c.i. tank, and that by itself is decently big... ------------- Evil Elvis: "Detrevni is definally like a hillbilly hippy from hell"

Yea man. 110 is a damn big tank. My friend has an 88 and that is too big to even use effectively in a game. A 110ci tank isn't neccesary unless you plan on sitting in the back the ENTIRE game and slinging an ungodly amount of paint. I would reccomend 68ci or smaller.

thank god your getting a fibre tank, through... steel would weigh a ton that tank is going to be gianormus, i would say get a 68 or an 88 ci tank instead of that beasty 110 i would say go no bigger than 68ci for a front/mid player and 88ci for a back... ------------- 98CP ACT R/T J&J Ceramic 14" Egg II w Z-Board GTA Inline X-Chamber NCStar Red-Dot Pen Spring Mod Trigger Stops Polished Internals Dye Sticky Grip 20oz Co2 w On/Off Next Up: Spimmy |

^Thanks for the input. I'll consider getting an 88ci 4500psi tank. ------------- Tippmann A-5: >Tapco CAR stock. >W.A.S. board, E-grip. >Spyder Remote Line. >Smart Parts 20" barrel. >Other custom mods. |

I run a 92/4500 and find no disadvantage. Fact is that the larger tanks are typically cheaper used that the 68 ci tanks. I liked the fact that I saved almost $50 selecting the used 92 over a used 68 all other factors being about equal. -------------

Really? My 88 is almost that big(non stubby). -------------

Also keep in mind I play woodsball more than speedball (woodsball is more fun in my opinion). I also have a remote line for my A-5, so its not like I'm going to be carrying this tank under my marker. ------------- Tippmann A-5: >Tapco CAR stock. >W.A.S. board, E-grip. >Spyder Remote Line. >Smart Parts 20" barrel. >Other custom mods. |

If you have a pack big enough for a 110ci tank than more power too you. A tank this size is really nice for those long games or those times when you don't get a chance to filll every game.

114's at least are longer and skinnier than 88 ci's. |

How many balls do you normally shoot in a game and do you get unlimited air? I have a 68/5000 that gets filled to 4k. I never have had problems of being even remotely close to need to refill after a few games. Even long woodsball gamesI have been in need that much air. You must not like to take good shots if you depend on a lot of shots. |

Reasonably. I've seen 114 ci tanks, and they're roughly coke bottle size. |

do you play at a field with free fills? if so, youll never need above 68
but if you play in woods, and cant hit a fill station you may want 88. but 88 is huge... i can barely use my 68 without a drop ------------- <just say no to unnecessarily sexualized sigs> |

^Yea, thats why I have a remote line. And I play woodsball for the most part, and we don't always (if ever) have a fill station there. ------------- Tippmann A-5: >Tapco CAR stock. >W.A.S. board, E-grip. >Spyder Remote Line. >Smart Parts 20" barrel. >Other custom mods. |

Do it. Since you have a remote line I see no disadvantage. |
