Air efficiency (Tac One)

[Gojufist]

Hi, I'm going to get either a Tac One or an RT....What size tank would you all recommend? How many shots per fill could i expect?

thanks. Dan

It all depends on howmany paint you shoot, doesnt it?

For small woods games a 68/4500 would be ok, and you should expect about 800 shots out of it. (my guess, i have a xmag that runs those numbers with a 68/4500) If you play scenario/biggames you might want to get a 88/4500 so you can stay in longer.

I hear these are the figures:

3000 PSI = 10 times the cubic inches of the tank.

4500 PSI = 15 times the cubic inches of the tank.

So thusly a 72/3000 tank will yield roughly 720 shots and a 68/4500 will yield roughly 1020 shots, for example.

Now add to that another question:

How much paint are you willing to carry?

I get about 750 out of a 68/3000 if I don't go reactive on my old automag, which is about all the paint I want to carry for hours at a time. As long as I top off both paint AND air, I won't get into trouble with short air. I guess that points out that I have easy air at most of my fields. I did get a 68/4500 to pick up the reactive losses though.
