    On a scale of presets, 10, on a scale of all air systems, 7 (With no presets rating over 7)


    The PMI fatty 88/45 works great on shockers btw, and it's only the length of a 68.

        10 all the way. because who needs adjustable tanks, for mags i mean. my pmi gives out 850, thats perfect for AIR valves and gives u a nice reactice rt trigger but not run away. plus if u are goin to use an autococker its a nice pressure to run into ur vert reg. its perfect for blowback guns. its also perfect for angels, the recommended input for angels is 800. so i give it a 10 cuz for me theres no need for adjustable tanks unless u want to mess around with an rt.

          I agree - they're a 10. Inexpensive - great flow and make my RT sing

            pmi tanks are nice. i had one problem with my 88/4500. the problem was the fill nipple o ring blew resulting in no way to keep air in the tank. after 1 call to pmi they sent me a new fill nipple assembley with the inner pin and oring without even asking for anything like a reciept or warranty info or even them wanting money for the shipping or parts. i recieved the parts throught the us mail within 2 days. pretty darn good customer service im my opinion.

              Presets I say 9. I've never had a problem with my 68/3000, and I have used it on my Fokus, model 98,and cocker without any problems.

                I think they're some of the best tanks out there for the cost. I have a 88/4500 and it's great. I haven't messed with an adjustable but i have no need to, i agree with CpSuPeRkId, a PMI's all i need.
                10 all the way.

                      well, my 88 3000 is awsome for the size and the performance, its great. I'm still kind of afraid of the thing though after watching a kid with the same tank begin to unscrew his tank, (which was full!) and the regulator began to come apart in the middle. I was was reffing and patrolling around the staging area looking for barrel plugs at the time so luckily I caught the kid before he continued but i still get nervous when I see a new player with HPA.

                        My friend's PMI tank had that problem too- it started to unscrew in the middle of the reg. That is scary, we tighten up the the two screws on the side and that seemed to fix it.

                          i would personally go with the crossfire over the pmi ones. at the chicago open, the guys form crossfire had a table with 5 angels w/ and armageddon, maxflow, crossfire, and pmi reg, and something else. all of the angels were identical, and they all had nice oil filled guages measuring the pressire. on automatic fire, the pmi jumped around about 300psi below 850 and took a while to recharge, i guess that it dosen't matter as long as you have a good secondary reg.

                          but the crossfire ones along with the maxflow, and the armageddon the needle stayed in the same spot pratically, with a verry small slight twitch.
                          As society and the problems that face it become more and more complex and machines become more and more intelligent, people will let machines make more of their decisions for them, simply because machine-made decisions will bring better results than man-made ones. Eventually a stage may be reached at which the decisions necessary to keep the system running will be so complex that human beings will be incapable of making them intelligently. At that stage the machines will be in effective control. People won't be able to just turn the machines off, because they will be so dependent on them that turning them off would amount to suicide

                          sometimes I just freaking hate people. which means the next day I will love them for the sake of balance, but right now I will just concentrate on the hating. Hate hate hate. Blaaaarg! ;)

                            I owned a Crossfire 68 4500 before i got my PMI and i found no difference. Only reason I decided to change is because the 88 was the same size but held more air (my field doesnt fill 4500 psi) and someone wanted to trade with me.

                              if your gun has a secondary reg on it, the output of your tank can be all over the place, and the reg in the air valve or whatever will make it far from noticible.

                              i suppose it really dosen't make much of a difference
