Air system help

I would suggest getting a used FIBER 68/4500 tank .. that should get ya just over 1000 shots per fill.

Check out the "AIR SYSTEMS" forum ....

A preset setup will screw in to the same asa as your 12oz. However, there are no HPA tanks available that small. If you need a small tank, look into a 47ci 3000psi steel or 45ci 4500psi fibre tank, they'll be thick and short.

The numbers indicate size and pressure rating. usual sizes are 45ci(4500 only, fibre), 47ci(3000 only, steel), 68ci(steel or fibre) and 88ci(fibre only) (ci is cubic inch). Steel tanks are always 3000psi

Pressure will be 3000psi, 4500psi or 5000psi. Most fields fill 3000psi, some can also do 4500 and only the biggest tournaments do 5000. Of course a higher pressure tank will hold a lower pressure fill just fine, it simply won't have as much air.

The basic difference in capacity is that a 3000psi system will hold as much air as the next smaller tank size in 4500psi. Thus an 88ci 3000psi system at full fill holds about as much air as a 68ci 4500 system.

A 47ci 3000psi system gives 4-500 shots, a 88ci 3k psi gives about 1200. add 50% for 4500 systems.

And HPA=Air=Nitrogen. You'll get compressed air most places, occasionally nitrogen, but both act the same and work in all systems (Air is 80% nitrogen anyways)

Well I'll explain the numbers to you. Take for example the 68/4500 digitard mentioned. The 68 refers to to the Cubic inches of the tank, the bigger the number the larger the tank will be. The 4500 refers to the psi of the tank, the higher the number the more pressure the tank can hold. Many people find that the 68ci tanks are the best because you get a sufficient amount of air without a tank that is absolutely emormous.

a 4500psi tank will get you about 1.5 times as many shots as a 3000 tank of the same size.

Hope this helps
