What are the advantages of a fiber wrapped over a steel tank?

[painball]

LIke the title says what are the advantages of a fiber wrapped over steel? Does anyone know the weight difference?

[BajaBoy]

alot lighter

[FlagCarrier]

yeah, the weight difference is pretty huge.
try playing with a steel tank and a fiber-wrapped will feel like air.

[darklord]

definitely weight, fiber wrapped are so much lighter!

Fiber wrapped costs more so it has to be better.

and the pros use em!!!!!!!!!!!!111111!!!1!1......

yea, but they come in bigger sizes(4500's) and are lighter, and look better

lets say my 47/3000 steel tank flatline weighs more than my mag with barrel and foregrip. A wrapped tank is so much lighter.

Weight weight weight. I own both a steel and a fiber. I got the steel first because it was much cheaper. Got the fiber wrapped because I just wanted a new tank. I cant stand that steel wrapped one now. Gave it to the girfriend to use.:p

The steel may weigh more, but between games i do curls with my mag. By the end of summer, I'm going have a nice set of pipes.

With steel you have to worry about rust. The wrapped tanks are aluminum and don't have this problem.

Also a slightly less chance of being killed or maimed should the tank explode :)

Doesnt wrapped...have an easier chance of blowing up and destroying the earth in one atomic boom? Either way...its much lighter...a 88/4500 is lighter than my 47/3000...yea...its sad..very.

[Sir Chopsalot]

whole lot lighter, my crossfire 68 stubby is weighs me down

[WickeDKlowN]

Weight, and Price

[TheJester]

you'll pay more for a fiber, but my 68/3000 crossfire weighs about the same as a chomemolly 12 oz co2 tank (empty)

along with weight, steel tanks heat up a lot more when u fill them. On mine, a 3k fill goes down to about 2300 after it cools.
