I was wondering if anybody has used the Smart Parts 68 cu in CO2 kevlar wrapped tank on an Impulse. About how many shots would you get and would it be worth the money or should i just buy a 68 cu in 3000 psi Crossfire Stub. I oviously wouldn't get the same number of shots off but what do you guys think?
Thanks alot:)

If you are going to shoot CO2, the 68 is not a very good value. this comes from the fact that MOST fields only fill it to 24 oz. At that point, you can get a LOT more shots from 2 20oz tanks and still have money back over getting the 68 and using it for CO2

the fiber tanks have an inner core of aluminum, just like a co2 tank. That tank inside is glued by strong glue to the fiber body. When the tank is filled, then dumped, and shots rapidly over and over and over again, it prgressively causes the inside tank to shrink, then expand, over andover. This causes the glue to not work so well, and the tank prgressively debonds. After a while, it might not pass hydro. and it can only hold 24 ounces of co2, technically 32, but a 7 ounce can technically hold 10.3 ounceces. If someone does fill it to 32 ounces, its a hand grenade! so, just do yourself a favor and get a cheap 24 ounce for maybe 15 bucks, and last for years and years, instead of a 65 tank that lasts 3 years, unless your Bill Gates Jr.
