Fair weather only, eh? You could go for a smaller psi rating (3000 psi) which would give you less shots per fill, but much more affordable around the 100 dollar range. Also, make sure you purchase a High Output tank (800 psi) for it to work properly with your gun. You don't really need any other accessories. Some people get a secondary regulator to help with consistency, but it's a minute difference. You'd only really need one if you get the Comp-Air system (also called Low Pressure Kit *LPK*), which is a highly optional upgrade. Most say its effects are negilible, others say its worth it. As for brands, Crossfire is common. I use a Nitro Duck Tuff Skin 4500 psi tank. It has an extra coating around the carbon fiber to help protect it. Oops- you do need one accessory. You'll need a tank cover IF you get a 4500 psi tank (or a 3000 psi carbon fiber). The best tank cover is the Dye Rhino, and another popular one is the Redz tank cover. A 3000 psi steel tank is strong enough on its own, so you won't need a tank cover if you get one of these. |

3000psi will give 10 shots per cubic inch. But this is just a very rough estimate. To find shot capacity do tank CI x 10 for 3000psi. x by 15 for 4500psi.

He means multiply it by how many cubic inches. If 48 cubic inches, multipl it by however many was recommended per psi. So if it's a 45ci 3000psi, 45 x 10. I think |

How many shots do you think an a-5 will get from a 68ci 3000psi and a 68ci 4500psi? |

For a 68/3000, around or less than 650. 68/4500- around 1000. |
