Yeah, I first saw those at Bad Boyz Toyz back in September I think. Not enough to make me trade in my 4500 psi tank or anything. :)

My big complaint is the fact the its enough trouble to get a 4500 psi fill at a park. Try getting a 5000!

gambit and gunga, what parks do you guys play at? my only draw back to getting a 4500psi tank is that i'm affraid i'll get no more use out of it than a 3000psi. do you know where they will fill your tank completely? or is it really only necesary in a tourny?

I play at the Badlandz. Going there tomorrow actually. No problem getting a 4.5k fill.

If I did it over again, I'd get an 88ci 4.5k psi tank. I used a friend's a week ago when my nipple o-ring went bad. That thing lasts forever compared to my 68ci 4.5k psi tank.

Just another gimmick by the people that want desperately to seperate you from your money. There will be a bunch of people buy them because "I just have to have that extra 500 psi to help my game".:p

I think the 5000 psi fills are more likely aimed at Tounament players. I'm sure at tournies like WC and IAO they can do a 5000 psi fill.

Yes, that's right. 5000 PSI tanks can be filled with the rather large compressor-type fill stations that are starting to show up at tournaments these days. The cost of these compressors makes them too expensive for most fields, but they are gaining in popularity.

PMI is not trying to say that everyone needs to have a 5000 psi tank. But for a tourney player who wants every advantage he can get, it just might be worth the money.

It the same as people saying that no one really needs a gun that can shoot 26 bps....
