Hey guys looking to get into tournament paintball soon and although I still have my spyder xtra I am looking to get a nitro system. What kind of nitro system can I get that is 68ci 4500psi, adjustable tank for 250 or under. I can't afford anything over 300 so if you have any suggestions let me know. I want to get a cocker or electro eventually so that is why i need the adjustable tank. If you can offer another idea let me hear it. Any input will be appreciated.

you could sell your extra and go to pbgear.com and get the classic mag nitro bundle. It comes with a classic mag and a flatline 68 ci 3000 psi and all the things needed to hook it up for $430 great deal

I shot a mag once and I guess I shortstroked the trigger because I got stuck with 4 paintballs in the barrel. Sorry nomags for me. Maybe a bushy or cocker soon but I think Im gonna go with centerflag 68ci 3000psi with adjustable reg. I can get the tank for 305 at my local paintball store. It also has on/off so thats probably what ill do

how on earth can you shortstroke a mag?? :confused:
and i agree with ded or you cant get a 4500 psi adjustable for under 250 maybe you could go with a crossfire stub and then get a pure energy nitro reg

You could get a autococker and a benchmark on/off cradle. I have this on my autococker. Its a really nice setup. The cradle will cost you about $60. Then you can pick whatever nitro you want.

Thank you for the backing Spyder Kid, I was told I wasn't pulling the trigger fast enough by the person that owned it. Yeah I decided to go with the Centerflag System 68ci 300psi. It has an adjustable reg and on off. I like it alot and plan on getting it sometime this fall.(I would already have it and my sleeper autococker if it weren't for my parents)It is 305 or somewhere around there so it is close to my price range, Thanks for the advice

how are you suppose to lay paint in a tourney though if you cant pull trigger past enough?

Well front men don't lay down a whole lot of paint that is the back mans job. I am used to shooting a spyder which you can shoot at any speed, whereas a mag has to be shot at a certain speed for it to work properly. Anyway I solved my problem, I'm buying an Impulse with the maxflo reg so im gonna get an ACI screw in tank. Thanks for the suggestions

Dude CO2 is not consistent enough. Plus a good gun deserves a good tank. Another plus is you can keep your tank on your gun at all times. which is something you can't do with a co2 tank.
