Hey all, I stopped playing for a couple years and I'm looking to get back in! Only problem is, for the last year I played I played pump and I'm looking to bring my xvalved ULE out of retirement. BUT I don't have a tank. I used to run a 68/45 and I got plenty of shots, but I've started to shoot less so I'm looking at a smaller tank.

If you'all could possibly list your tank sizes and how many shots you get that'd be great! I have a used 45/45 in mind locally!

In general:

3000psi tanks give 10 shots per cubic inch
4500psi tanks give 15 shots per cubic inch

I have a 68/3k, gives me roughly 550-600 with lvlx.

go for the 4545 it should give you at least your hopper and 3 140 tubes if nothing else if you need more ropunds than that i suggest a trip to the range and a case or 2 of paint i use a 13 3000 for my longbow and that and 100 rounds keeps me in the field for 3 hours at a big game :rofl:

Like your name , named a buddies X Mag that
I run E Mags with a 45/45 I'll get a hopper & 2 1/2 to 3 pods out of it
Normally I don't even carry an extra pod into the woods , scenario's are a different story

Hi, I have a 45/4500 tank for sale if you are interested. With my mag I get about 600-700 shots out of it. I also have the 70/45 tank which gets about 1200-1300 if you are interested. The 45/45 weighs a little over 2 lbs, and the 70 ci weighs about 3 lbs. LMK if you are interested, I am a little flexible on the price. Thanks

Here is a site (http://www.scubatoys.com/paintball/paintballshots.asp) that helps calculate how many shots you can get with a tank.

P.S. use Gas pig for an automag :)

It really depends on your setup. Out of a classic mag with a level 7 bolt this weekend in a scenario game I got a TON of shots on a 68/4500. In one outing I shot a hopper plus 3 140 round tubes and didn't even go under 3000 psi. It really depends on your setup a lot.

smoke63b is right, ive got a 68/45 feeding xvalve hypermag and i notice the difference when my barrel size is too big, on one tank i can go a hopper and 4 150rd pods before i go refill if i need it or not
