dont buy a 3A tank, they are a horrible company that make cheep products. Get a crossfire or an aci tank. Heck any thing but 3A. For size i like 68ci 3000/4500psi.

crossfire, centerflag, aci bulldog III if you can afford them those are the tanks you really want to try and stay with if possible. If you do get a 3A tank make sure you get it new. They used to be terrible but they have gotten a bit better now that they come with centerflag regs.

I agree about not going 3a, they are a sad company.
Bulldog III, Crossfire, and Centerflag would be your best bet. I have all brands of tanks and love them all, but I usually use the Bulldog III. It has the best flow..
Your best bet would probably be to go high pressure. As for size.. what position do you play?

really with front u wont need much air a 45/4500 should be more then enough air and will give you a decently small profile

a 45/4500 should be around $185, without any upgrades you should expect 800-900 shots

Gah! If you're willing to wait a week, shootpaint.com has Bulldog III in all three sizes (45, 68, 91) for 165 bucks. Not bad, but only the 68 is in stock (wait 1 week for the others.) Just spreading the good word.

o really is that price american do they ship to canada

no offense but just because it says on Shootpaint that its going to take a week to ship doesnt mean its really going to take a week. It could be longer it could be shorter it all depends when the item actually gets received by him. Ive seen people that have said they have gotten it earlier, I've also seen people say they have waiting over a month that said it would only be 1 week. I'm not saying its shoopaints fault but things sometimes does happen just like with any other online store.

o really well is shootpaint american and can you really get 900 shots on a 45/4500 psi on a bko when the tanks out put is 450
yoda101

doesnt matter if the tanks output is 450 or 850 you should get 800-900 shots from a 45/4500
