        Go for crossfire. I owned a 3A tank, and it never gave me problems the 3 times I used it. But, about a month and a half after I sold it I got an angry email from the buyer about the regulator breaking.

          how long ago was that? I heard they have new regs from center flag.

            I sold it around 3 months ago, and heard form him around a month and a half ago. I don't know the validity of his story, and since he had the tank for over month I didn't see it as my problem.

              Gah

              Don't bother, I had a 3a tank. Gave me nothing but problems. If you take it apart it looks like crapola quality. Don't cheap out on something that can be so dangerous, afterall quality only hurts once :)

                  I have a year old 3A tank. The pin valve leaked ever so slightly sometimes. I sent it to the manufacturer and had it back, fixed, in a week. Otherwise, I've had no problems with it.

                    My brother and I have run them for going on two years. Not a single problem.

                    Just and FYI....3A Ace Flow tanks have the EXACT same regulators as the Crossfire 420 series.

                    3A pulled some lameo BS on PBReview and have been bashed everywhere since. As you can see in my sig pic (click on sig), I use several 3A products and so far everything has arrived with an acceptable shipping time and has been good to great for me. As you might have guessed i focus on the best bang for the buck in my gear instead of what the "pros" use.

                    So far I own...

                    3A Ace Flow Tank Cover 16.00
                    3A 5+4 pack 19.00
                    3A 4pc Barrel set (14" front and three sized backs) *** havent used yet

                      I have a 71/4.5k 3A tank I bought about a year ago. I have used the tank extensively and it has not given me a single problem. I have banged it up quite a bit playing in the woods, especially when I trip and land on it, but it still works the same. No leaks no nothing.

                        there is one thing about 3A i hate, and that is the... "artwork."
                        I wanna X-mag, but im too poor.

                          Yeah...I went without the crappy art. I want a tank not a piece of anime.

                              3A seems hit or miss to me regarding their tanks. I have one and have no problems with it, but others have reported issues. So, based on that I would suggest another brand which is where I will be headed when I finally decide on a larger tank.
