    what size tank should I get

    aight I'm havin a time trying to decide on what size tank i wanna get. I'm a front player so i need the most compact setup i can get and have a lot fire power at teh same time. as of right now I have a 68 3k flatline and basically...I run outta gas to fast so I'm movin on up to a 4.5k Dynaflow tank. But as I said I want the most compact setup I can get so I'm trying to decide between a 45ci and a 68ci. Either way I'll get more shots then my tank right now, am I correct? or will I get about the same as I would my tank with a 45ci? I'm just wondering wat you think would do me best. Thanks

    when the 4500psi 72CI crossfire tank comes out, get that. Very compact(lengthwise) and high shot capacity.

      I say a 45/5000. They get alot of shots and are very compact.

          A 45 45 and a 68 3k will get close to the same amount of shots. 45 tank 45 tank = 67.50 at 3k psi. So, it actually gets less.

            For all practical purposes, they're the same size.

              My 68/4500 is a nice size... and yes, it shoots quite a few balls.

              How many balls do you shoot per game?

                    To me, a 68/4500 with a very small drop feels very comfortable and gets plenty of shots. A 68/4500 Flatline would be perfect IMO (or do they not come with the drops?). I myself will be running a 68/4500 Crossfire with a CP Razor Drop and on/off ASA, it should shoulder quite nicely.

                      Go with 68ci, its just a better size and will fit better on your shoulder iwht a good sized drop.

                          I dunno about 3k, but I get about 1100-1300 (rough estimate) from my 68/4500.

                            With my 68/3K Flatline I can shoot roughly 1000 balls.

                            The last 20-50 shots will be weak, though, with noticeably less range and such as my pressure dips below acceptable levels.

                              Wow, that many? Maybe I get more than I thought, I've never emptied it and was just guessing. That's good to know though. Based on that, shouldn't a 48/4500 get approximately the same amount?
