I'm buying an hpa tank within the next couple days. I was planning on getting a 68 45, but the store has 70 45's for about 15$ cheaper then the 68's whats the size difference in the bottles??

the 68 45 is a pmi and the 70 45 is a crossfire.

Just want to have an idea of what I want to buy before I go to the store.. (also the web site doesn't show 68 45 crossfire's but I'm sure they would have them.. no? :confused: )

Just inform me before I go out shopping, thanks.

Usually the 68 45s are longer than the 70cu 'peanut' tanks. Some people like a longer gun with a long tank and some people like the 'fat peanut' type tanks. I personally have a 68 45 armaggeddon on a cp rail. I like it allot. :cool:

I personally like the Crossfire 70/4500 the extra girth in the bottle doesn't bother me and the tank itself sits well right on my bicep so I can play tighter [I've play airball].

Either get the 70/45 or ask them if they can order a crossfire 68/45. Crossfire makes better tanks.

Yes crossfire tanks have higher quality regs and you should get ~30 more shots. Go with the 70/4500

I've owned around 4 crossfire tanks and havent had a single problem with one. I've heard a few horror stories about pmi though. I use a 70ci and I like it more than a 68. It just doesnt feel right to play with that long of a tank anymore.
