tank size ?

[MicroB]

Would like to hear from back players who use RT or retro valve w/LX. Going back to A retro valve mag and need to know what size tank to purchase. I shoot 7-9(980-1260 balls) pods per game and like to have a litte air left(just in case). I was thinking about a 90 ci, but would like to hear from ya. I already searched and couldn't find anything but 68ci info. Thanks!

Thx, B

I use a 1,1 litre (68ci) 4500 AA Armageddon on my xmag. I'm a backplayer myself and use 7-8 pods in a game. The 1,5 litre bottle is another option for you, a couple of my team-mates use them.

I'm thinking about buying a 45/45 Crossfire, but I'm not sure.

i just bought a 45/45 maxflow i will let you know how it does, i like front or mid soo it will tuck nicely

if you shoot that much i would get a 68/45 or 88/45, and adjustalbe output is a must for a retro valve

i have a pmi pureenergy 68/45 and can shoot
8 loaders and a full evolution2 but i have little air left.
thats with a retromag and lvlX

i get ~1300 shots off my Emag with a 68-45...if you NEED hat much, get an 88 or 91/45

Why is an adjustabel a must with the Retro Valve? I have a fixed output and it seems fine.

[Kevmaster]

you cant adjust the reactivity of the RT mag without an adjustable tank. an RT will be more reactive at 1200psi into the gun than 850psi into the gun

[yeahthatsme]

that doesnt mean its a must, its preferance.

i use a 68/45 and i get about 900-1000 off of a 4k fill.

I have a 88/3000 and can play 3+ games without a refill (depends on how much I shoot and if I am being a back player or more of a middle player)...Why are you shooting 7-9 pods a game?!?! Even if I give cover fire for teammates I wont blow more than 400-500 rounds. Most games I can go without blowing a full hopper even with suppressive fire.

I need to get a damn remote for my gun...it is a pain if you ever need to go prone with a 88 CI tank on a cradle under the gun. Also be warned of the added weight of a larger tank...it requires 2 hands to accurately shoot (unless you are pumped with adrenaline) and that makes it difficult to run and shoot to keep a person bunkered.

I play in tourney's and I can keep more players in, the more paint I shoot. My front men don't complain. Any way I'm going with a 850 preset screw in 90ci, thanks for all your posts about how many shot I should expect.

Thx, B

i use a 114 ci, 3k tank.. preset of 750 psi.. its perfect for the homeade field my friends and i play at.. because we use suba tanks to fill off of. but if i went to an actual field or tourny id want a 68/45 adjustable output so that i can get major reactivity against those electric users. speed helps alot.. rt valve thrives off of air. gota have a system to keep it up with it..
