Hey I'm think about converting to HPA or Nitrogen for my tippmann A-5. As it gets colder I don't like using CO2. However, I don't wanna spend 160 dollars for a carbon fiber tank. On the other hand, a steel tank is heavy and big to have on your gun. Is it worth saving for a fiber tank? |

Plus side of carbon fiber: lighter, can pressurize up 4500 psi = more shots/fill, stays consistent even in the winter cold, better resale value if you want a larger one down the road, ect... Down side: more expensive. Look online in other forums for deals just watch what you buy and how old it is. Most have a 5yr hydro. so check the dates before you buy. Hope this helps. ------------- 98 Custom Pro E-grip cp reg cp on/off custom drop freak barrel kit Ricochet Apache 68/4500 crossfire fang trigger macro line low pressure kit |

I found a good deal on ebay but you have to be careful there. If not that Alot of places have bigger tanks for the same price as the smaller tanks or at least close to just because of supply/demand. ------------- Stay low, run fast, and hope that paintball doesn't hit your... http://www.deltasquad.info/">
