the size is up to u, u could get a metal HPA tank, but its a bit heavy, but it is alot cheaper than the carbon fiber. umm a good siz i think would be maybe 68ci. but are u talking about co2 or wat. but if u r talking about HPA i think crossfire is good. and i dunno most of the tanks are good, but its really up to u.

hehe, a bit heavy, u crazy kid, a 72 ci 3000 pmi steel tank weighs around 5 lbs!, i dunno bout you, but thats a lot to me, the best tanks that money can buy are macdevs, they are VERY light b/c they are made of luxfor, the 68/4500 would be great, it is supposed to be the same lenght at a 45/45 crossfire. Now, the recharge rate.....well lets say if God had a paintball gun, he would use this tank, they are very expensive though. Nitro Duck tanks are also made of Luxfor and are very light with a decent recharge rate, a 68/4500 psi tank would be good for you. These are also on the more expensive side. I own a 70/4500 crossfire tank. this is a stubby tank, it has a much larger capacity than a 45/4500 psi tank but is just as long. Crossfire tanks are heavier than the nitro ducks, but have a much faster recharge rate, not as fast as macdev though, but still very fast, its the second fastest. These are not nearly as expensive as nitro ducks or macdevs, so if you dont mind the extra little 1/2 a pound, get the crossfire. If you can spend 250 on a tank, go for the macdev

^^ for some reason i was laughing all through your post

you dont even know if he means co2 or HPA

anyway if you want a cheap take get the so called "5lb" tank form action village for like $60

or get a used 68/4500 off ebay for about $80

ye i lied about the 5 lb thing, after seeing and weighing one at my local store, it turns out they are about 7 1/2 pounds, the only thing wrong with getting a tank off ebay would be hydrotesting, its a  good idea, but u wanna no what kind of tank, and when it needs to be hydrotested again

and.....whats so funny bout my post?
