Tank question (which should I get of these two?)

[NinjaoftheNight79]

Disregard this thread, I already bought the tank.

About the tank, I bought a Pure Energy 72cu 3000psi N2 tank for the time being.

Hey there,
I have had that pureenergy 72/3000 tank for about 3 years now. I still use it for my classic mag, but I only used it on my x-valve mag for a few months. The output is fine, I never had a problem with it. It does not have enough output for x-valve rapid fire though. I warn you that this tank is HEAVY (2 Kg empty). Normally I would be the last person to complain about a "heavy gun" because a heavy gun is a stable gun, but this tank is AS heavy as my ENTIRE gun with a full hopper. I would strongly suggest a 68 or bigger 4500 psi tank. They are much lighter and you get more shots, esp if you are a bushball player that has one tank full for the entire day.

You mean it doesn't have a fast enough recharge rate for rapid fire? I am sure it is fast enough for what I will shoot. I dont shoot long strings of speed. I know this tank is going to be heavy, but how heavy is it compared to a full 20 oz?

As far as recharge its fine, rapid fire relys on high input pressure however. this tank has appx. 850 psi output, my other tank has a 1100psi output that I use the most.
as far as a 20 oz co2... I have no idea. if it helps 2 Kg is about 4.4 pounds. after a 8 hour day of woodsball... my arm felt like it was about to fall off.

How does it rely on high input pressure? Are you talking about sweetspotting the RT or just walking it? If what your saying is true, then why do a lot of people us preset tanks on their mag and it works just fine? I know people who use preset tanks. I also dont rapid fire that much anyway, so I guess I am fine. I only use it to pwn noobs (I am just kidding, I am not the kind to light someone up unless they try to bunker me).

Sweetspotting is what I am referring to. By increasing the input pressure it becomes very easy to sweetspot, and with the higher input pressure, the valve recharges much quicker allowing for incredible ROF. My mechanical x-valve will shoot 23 BPS when it is sweet spoted. There was a fella who used a q-loader and got 34 bps out of his mech mag. People do not do it very often because adjustable tanks are $$$, hoppers that can keep up are $$$, and for most types of play it is illegal. There is nothing wrong with using a preset tank, I used one for years (still do), but the adjustable is a lot of fun to pwn kids with psp ramping timmys! (Be nice to noobs, if they keep playing they will make pb more popular)

BTW: I found out that a 20 oz co2 is 2.0 pounds. So this thing is a little more than twice as heavy.

I probably will end up with an adjusteable tank, but for now I am getting the preset.
