Wich N2 System??

Don't get a pmi get a melee. I like melee better than PMI. Melee look cool, the reg isn't quite as long a a pmi and they have a life time warranty. my friend told me his pmi doesn't have a life time warranty. Actually, to hell with what every one says, get what you can afford and know is trust worthy.

Not a whole lot of difference

I have a 47 3k and 68 3k PMI tanks, my bro has a 68 45 Crossfire, and my friend has a 88 45 nitro duck. It doesn't really matter, we don't have shoot down, and we can all hammer the trigger. Also, 800 shots with a 47, no, sorry, not to dis, but no. 68 45 on cocker =1400 shots. 88 45 mag = 2000 shots, both mine = 1200 maybe. But definitely get at LEAST a 68 3k. My opinion is that the 68 45 or 88 45 are your best bet. These will get you a fair amount of shots. a 114 3k or 45 will be fine, but might be a little too big for some people's liking. And about steel tanks, look, there's no discussion, a 68 45 CF will weight half what a 47 3k steel does. THAT'S IT. Not discussion, weigh them if you don't believe me, but all I know is the 68 45 on my bros gun feels like nothin. Nice balance, good feel, but when I put a 47 or 68 steel on there, watch out, heavy. No I'm not weak, no I'm not a wuss, but for balance, go CF.

The Reg on the crossfire is marginally better than the PMI. The Price difference is 2-fold: CO2 tanks (except fibre 32oz tanks) are only rated to 1800psi, HPA tanks are rated to at least 3000, and the regs do cost a lot more than pin-valves, more parts=more $$.

MikeCouves: You can easily outshoot the regs on some of the cheaper tanks, the 32Degrees presets start having trouble keeping up around 5bps on a mag.


I'd go PMI, the difference in reg capability is not so much as to negate the price difference.

450-600 shots is what you will see on a mag with a 47/3k system, maybe 750 on a well tuned cocker or Excalibur(which are incredibly efficient when tuned).

First of all they are really the same. It doesnt make a real difference. Really.

And about this,

Also, 800 shots with a 47, no, sorry, not to dis, but no

Well all setups vary slightly, and weather plays a KEY role in how many shots you get. Also does your paint match? On a consistently 60 degree day I got 750-800 shots on my crossfire 47ci 3k. This is a fact man, I wasnt sure at first but thats how many shots I got.
