| Review: |
I bought this tank thinking I would need an adjustable tank for my bushy. I was wrong. However, I'm glad I ended up getting this tank. I stole it for about 300 bucks. They go for about 400 or so now.
carbon fiber tank
This tank is really light. It keeps a good balance to the tank. Downside is you have to hydro it every 3 years, rather than 5 liek some other tanks.
Dove rail
This rail is really nice. Rather than unscrewing your tank, you loosen some screws, then slide off your tank. I know some people who shoot left handed end up unscrewing thier tanks on themselves, and this tank will not do that to you.
Adjustability
This tank is really easy to adjust. You simply need a 3/32 allen key, slide it in the front of the reg, and lefty loosy, righty tighty. You simply set it to where you want and let it go.
maintenence
I've really only had to take care of this thing 3 times or so in my 3 years of owning it. All you have to do is take the tank off the reg, gut the reg (a lot easier than it may sound) take out the piston, and lube 2 o rings with regular oil. I literally never did this until about.. 6 months ago, when it got a leak. It really does not need much maintenence, unlike the max flow, for example.
However, I would reccomend a cheaper tank to someone who is just starting out. Unless you have more than one gun, and you need different input pressures for those guns, IE an impulse and a 98, then i would suggest a simple preset tank. Armageddons will run you a pretty penny, but they ARE nice. It may not be worth it to you, however. I would strongly consider buying a preset tank, such as the PMI pure energy over this if you are tight on a budget, or want a simple tank for your gun. But, if you have your eyes set on this tank, you won't be dissapointed. |
|
| Conclusion: |
very nice tank, easy to maintain. sexy lookin, easy to mount, an all aroudn good tank. If yo uare tight on cash, however, consider a cheaper preset tank. If you really want this, get it, you won't be dissapointed. |

| Review: |
I love this tank, it was a little ahrd to mount on my gun when i first got it. But i had never had a nitrogen tank before so i realy didn't know what to do, luckily the guys at my local paintball field did. After you get it on you gun it is very consistent, i dont have a secondary regulator and it is consistent as it is. One of the cool features is: when you are done for the day, you can turn the pressure off to the gun and shoot the air out left in your gun then you can unscrew the tank from the regulator!! makes it easy to cary around, since its adjustable you cant just unscrew it from an asa, so with this feature you can leave the regulator on the gun but take the bottle off. |
|
| Conclusion: |
I recommend this tank to anyone who wants n2 and can afford this tank, I got mine used for $150 and its not even a year old yet. This is a great tank and regulator! |

| Review: |
This is the best tank out there, if it wasn't for all of the already happy owners of the Armageddon then I wouldn't have bought it. Everybody I've always asked said that it was the best, and after i got it i knew they weren't lying. It is awesomely consistent. The most variation I had from high to low, was around 6 fps. The looks of the tank are awesome, also. it's just an all around great product. If it were an option, I'd give this tank an 11 out of 10. |
|
| Conclusion: |
I would buy it again, if I didn't already have it. Hey I might buy another one for my AutoCocker. |

Angel AIR system, but that system is so pickey that you will go crazy. You cannot fill it if you already have air in the tank or else it blows a disc, then you have to replace it. Plus the AIR system is not as consistent. |

|
| Review: |
Basically for those of you who have either gone mad using other air systems or are looking for a reliable air system this is the ultimate deal. Sure, it is a little more expensive than other systems but their new retail price (I discovered it at a local retailer) will make it totally affordable at about $230!!! Quite the bargain! Anyways, this system can be fine tuned to your gun to only vary 1-2 degress. When I tested mine the cronograph would only bounce from 299-300-301 fps. So no matter what your reliability is great. Plus the regulator on it is great!!! Plus the tank is reletively light compared to some systems!!! If the valvue seal leaks all you have to do is take a quarter, unscrew the plate, and flip the piece over and WHAM, it's fixed!!! |
|
| Conclusion: |
Jumpin Gehosophat Gehad. (don't ask) basically, I am never going to consider buying another air system, ever.
Last words:This is the best air system, period. |

| Review: |
This system used to be the hot ticket in CA systems and still performs with the best of'em. I don't know how old my geddon is but I bought it used 2 years ago and have yet to have a problem with it. AA had one of the best customer service reputations in the industry but now they aren't around anymore so if you buy one of these used make sure it works. The good news is these regs can be serviced/ rebuilt pretty easily and parts can still be had. It's nice to be able to adjust output pressure. This reg doesn't seem that much heavier than anything else I've tried, maybe a few ounces. Also it's made of aluminum, not stainless steel like some tard said. |
|
| Conclusion: |
I'd say if you can find a cheap one of these used it would be worth your while. Wouls give 10/10 if it was smaller and airline-transportable |

|
| Review: |
This is a super awesome tank. You can shoot as fast as you want all day long and this tank will keep up, i cant describe how wonderful the reg works and how consistent the tank is. It is not perfect, the tank is heavy, so it would recoment it for all you back players. Another problem i have had is that the reg only accepts the threads for the tank. ITs not a standard tread, so you can only use your own tank :(-NO biggie. |
|
| Conclusion: |
I would highly recomend this over most tanks, for its purpose. THe throttle is lighter, but no reg. This tank is superb for back men, and for people who demand consistency. I would give it a 9.5, but i cant and since that rounds up, id go for 10. |

| Review: |
I have used this tank for a while. Any one willing to spend over 400 new definity buy it. I was able to get mine for 145. Great reg. highly adjustable. it also STAYS were u want the pressure and doesn't move up or down in psi i mean. it is a large reg but hell you can run it over and it still would work fine. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Air America had great customer support. I lost and o-ring inside the pin valve. i sent it in to get it replace and got the tank back 2 days later. anyone who can get a great deal on this tank GO GET ONE. |

| Review: |
Great reg, This and the abaddon are the only systems I use if at all possible. Never had a problem with it, once it's set you're good to go from than on out unless you fiddle with it. great for tournaments and recball players, plus it's made for 4500, so more play from a tank. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Anyone who is sick of tanks that won't keep up with their shooting, or keeps breaking down needs this. |
