Ok right now my gun is pretty heavy but it's not too much of a bother. Lighter would be better. Also i'm looking around for a new tank. Sooo... i need some help with the following stuff:

1) How much does a 68/4500 (fiber wrapped/or non) flatline weigh (full/not full)
2) How much does a 45/4500 (fiber wrapped/or non) flatline weigh (full/not full)
3) If you have a maxflow the weights of same size/pressure as the ones above would be nice also ;)

I don’t know about the 45/4500.. but here are the stats for the 68/4500!

Empty weight = 1.78 LBS
Full (HPA) = 1.82 LBS

HOWEVER…. If you are worried about weight, you can do this…. Fill it with helium and it will weigh – 3.46 LBS.. that is right a negative! It will help lift your marker. Also you will increase your range because Mags cause the helium to coat the balls and thus they keep going!




































(Note: This post was a JOKE! All numbers are made up and do not accurately reflect the weight(s) of the actual tank. Do NOT use Helium in your Paintball Markers…. Questions, use the SEARCH feature… Again.. THIS WAS A JOKE!!!!)

(Note 2: You have GOT to love disclaimers!!!! HeeHee!!!):D

There air weights, as for the weight of the tank itself, I need to weigh my 68/3K flatline anyway, so I'll post the weight in grams and ounces tommorow night.

Lol shartly :)

Everyone knows that Hydrogen is MUCH better for those purposes.















Just kidding too. Everyone Knows Hydroged and helium Gasses are lighter than air when uncompressed :)
