I have an A-5 with a Palmer Reg. (Male) But the main problem is with CO2 it freezes up my response trigger. I would like to know which I should get. Whatever tank you think will work please post!!!!!!

4500 hold more gas get it just make sure you get a tank cover. And I think U should get a high pressure tank but someone tell him if I am wrong.

the tank cover can be optional, if you don't have the fiber glass tanks, but i would still get one cause it can still prevent damages and what not.crossfire hpa tanks are nice.

Get a crossfire 68/45 carbon fiber wrapped and get what tank cover you want because tank covers are necesarry for carbon fiber tanks.

All 4500psi tanks in the US are fibre wrapped, so a tank cover will be required.

Assuming tanks of the same internal volume, a 4500psi tank will give 50% more shots, so if you have the facility to fill to 4500psi, and you can afford the tank (4500psi tanks are more expensive) it would be an advantage to have a 4500psi tank.

depends on how much money you have and how much money you want to spend...i'm suprised at how many rich kids there on this site...i know paintball isn't cheap...but constantly people on this site just go on and on about spending loads of money...

heh, no one said playing paintball would be cheap.

I would rather buy an expensive item that will last me a long time/forever, then a cheap item which will last me through a couple plays/not as well as the higher end

. Save up for the 68/45 tank and trust me, it will be your best.

Though it wouldn't last forever - only 15 years.....

reading tippmannpb81's first post i'm guessing he play's woodsball.And since he's a woodsballer he might not have money handed to him like most speedballers do.So if he wants to upgrade to a better air system,what's cost more might not always be what's better for him...he could buy a cheaper,smaller tank since most woodsballers don't use as much air as speedballers...and with the money he saved he could use it to buy upgrades for his gun

Yeah that's true, but buying a big or regular size tank will include more shots into the tank making it less trips to the fill station
