Go with an 800 psi. You don't want to starve your gun of air.

I agree. If you're buying a Preset, I recommend the PMI and CenterFlag tanks.

Nothing against Crossfire, I just haven't used one enough to endorse it.

I have hehe. I had to bring back my "I hate crossfire" rant for this.

I use a crossfire and absolutly HATE it. It's been nothing but trouble. First the output pressure was set too high fram the factory so I ketp blowing out burst discs. I send it in and it's fixed but when I get it back the low pressure and high pressure burst discs were switched. I didn't notcied until my low pressure disc burst again. Then my local shop didn't have the right burst discs so I had to send it in to crossfire again. I get it back and the fill nipple leaks. I tightened it as much as humanly possible and it STILL leaks. I get my gun to the crono and I get consistancy of literally +/-30fps(on bad days I've got +/- 100+ fps). I know it's not the gun because with other tanks I get +/- 3-5 fps. Needless to say I'm extremely dissapointed with crossfire.

AK47...3100 psi shouldnt have blown the burst disc...when you fill up a 3k bottle youre supposed to fill to about 3300...and a 45k to 4800...so when it cools, you'll have a full fill...

BTW...Im a certified airsmith, air technician and Im Hazmat certified...so I know what Im talking about...
