Yeah, those 72/3000 tanks are HUGE.

To get a picture on here, make sure you upload it to an image hosting site first, like photobucket or flickr. From there you will be able to link it in.

it depends on your perception as you hold it. Are you reaching for the marker, or is it within comfortable grasp? Do you feel cumbersome, or does the setup fit your body as you tuck into a bunker, lean, run, etc? It doesn't matter if it fits the rest of us.

[Lenny17]

I'll second Otters Customs, he is a great resource for information, but I'm not exactly sure what you mean by 'setting up' your gun. If you mean modifying it to run at a lower pressure, Otter is your guy. If you mean 'how do I setup up my marker differently because it runs on low pressure', you shouldn't have to do anything different. Just put on your air and hopper and you are good to go.

As for too long - Chicken is right by saying it is personal preference. I think the 10" barrel is a little long on my US-5, but I've seen people put 21" barrels on the same marker. But on my Hammer and cocker, I like the longer barrels. It's all about what you find right as far as how the marker feels in your hands, and what works right for you.
