Hello tippmann forums. Once again I have a question to ask thee that I couldn't seem to find on my own. Heres my problem: For quite a while I have been wanting to upgrade my custom 98 to a better speedball gun but I don't have the money to buy it all at once. So I figure I will do it in stages... Stage one: Nitrogen tank. My questions are 1. Generally what is a good size Nitrogen tank? 2. I have a vest that holds up to a 20oz Co2 tank, would I be able to continue using that? 3. Would my remote line be able to handle a big scary Nitrogen tank in the first place? ------------- Tippmann 98 custom A.C.T Response Trigger Cyclone feed Double Trigger Remote Line 20 Oz Co2 14 inch J&J ceramic barrel |

I love this forum. I got my answer in 3 mins flat. Is 45/4500 larger than a 20oz 02 tank?

Yes. That is the drawback to HPA tanks. They are generally larger than their C02 counterparts. -------------

Does larger = heavier too? Should I just sell my pods and line to buy a good ol drop forward? ------------- Tippmann 98 custom A.C.T Response Trigger Cyclone feed Double Trigger Remote Line 20 Oz Co2 14 inch J&J ceramic barrel |

Only if the tank is of metal construction. If you have a fiber-wrapped or composite tank, it is generally lighter, but bulkier.
I don't understand why you'd want to sell your pods. You still would need to reload in a game if necessary, right? -------------

You think so?... Good point. I bought that pod vest for holding my Co2 in the first place though. Maybe I can do some ghetto fabrication and make my new nitro tank fit...

Also remote lines are illegal in tournaments nowadays right?

No not illegal, but highly impractical.
Tough to shoot both handed with a remote line. If your shooting a Tippy, I recommend at least a 68/4500 to get close to the same amount of shots per tank as a 20oz CO2. My 2 cents. ------------- RLTW |

What Ken said. 45ci is too small for most people. 68ci minimum. ------------- [IMG]http://i38.tinypic.com/aag8s8.jpg"> |

For a tippmann. But I was planning on getting the Nitrogen tank for my new intimidator.
