strange1, It really depends on alot of different things. 1) Is the tank full? Is the input pressure set to 180psi and the dwell adjusted to it's proper placement (gun shooting at 285 f.p.s.) after chronoing? Is the battery fresh? Has the marker been maintained properly (cleaned and lubed)? What kindda of bolt, delrin or stock?
If all these are in place and checked, I would only be able to guesstamate, oh maybe 1500- 1700 balls. Again that is a rough guess.

68/4500? Should get you around 1000, maybe a little more.

Real question is, does your field fill up to 4500? Many fields don't have 4500 compressors, so they can only fill up to 3000.

My field, Splat-Attack should be getting a 4500 very soon, unless they already have it, so I just might pick up a 68/45 sometime in the near future.

when it comes to paintball im not stupid i know that if a tank doesn't atleast 4500psi ur not gettin that much air the tanks are 6000 but also there new at nitro and the properties of it will expand and go in the tank hot and then you gotta wait till it contracts at top at 4500 it just seems i go thro air fast. either way i pay for air once then rest i fill up as much az i want so it works :cool:
