    Air America Preset vs Macdev legion preset for tac-one

    I'm currently deployed right now and have a lot of time on my hands. So i've been researching a lot of differnt markers and air systems. Right now i have tippmann A-5 but i'm going to be selling it because i want get get a marker that is a step up. After a lot of time and research i've decided on the Tac-one. The marker just looks tight and i love the picatinny rails. I plan on putting all kinds of sweet stuff on them. Lately i've been looking for a good air system. I plan on having this gun for a long time so i want to get an air system that will last. But i also don't want to pay and arm and leg for one. From what i've read 800-900psi is what you want for the tac-one. I was going to get a adjustable but then changed my mind, instead i'm going to get a preset tank. Right now i have it down to an Air America High pressure pre set at 850psi....and the Macdev 05 legion air preset at 800psi. I've read a lot of good reviews on the Macdev tank but haven't really been able to find any on the air america preset. But from what i've heard Air America is "the godfather" of tanks, so if it's anything like their other tanks i'm sure it is good quality. Both are reasonably priced at around $200. Any advice would be greatly appreciated and i gotta say i can't wait to get home and order my tac-one.

    If we were talking about Air America five or more years ago, I would have said to go for it. But as of late I think they've folded up and someone else took over their operations, to my knowledge. The service/quality they're going to have now is unknown.

    MacDev stuff seems to be okay, but for years they just had adjustable stuff that was low pressure and not to be used on Mags. I haven't heard about their preset system, but I'm sure it's on par with everything else out there.

    Honestly I'd go with something cheaper like a Pure Energy system. They seem to be pretty solid and well priced for a preset system.

      Yeah i've tried to get onto air america's site several times over the past few months and all it ever says is we're currently updating our site. I'm going to have to look into some pure energy tanks. Any one's in particular you recommend from them? Also, what would be the advantages of having an adjustable over a pre set? I know that an adjustable would be better if somewhere down the line i decided to get a different marker. But i plan on using the tac-one for as long as it will last me. So should i just stick with a pre set? Thanks for the help.

        On the Tac-One you'd be able to adjust the amount of bounce in the trigger with an adjustable tank. If you decide to get a ULT for the Tac-One, an adjustable tank is preferable.

        For just general plug-and-play, you can't beat a screw-in on a Tac-One, RT-Pro, etc.

          Yeah i plan on getting the ULT on it. Any ideas on a good, reasonably priced adjustable tank? I looked at a Nitro Duck X-stream and it seems like pretty good tank from what i've read.
