| These bottles use a new technology called Carbon Fiber wrapping ( 7 times stronger than glass wrapping), which is totally different than just fiber wrapping like everyone else sells. Since the aluminum shell is wrapped with a Carbon Fiber it makes the shell 30% stronger. Since the shell is 30% stronger, we can make the Aluminum shell 30% thinner, which also makes the shell 30% less in weight. |

|
| The Nitro Duck Carbon Fiber Air System is newer, so it should be commonly available, both new and used. |

| Review: |
i got this tank from my sisters friend, who has had it since august of 1999. i used it for a really long time, but dont anymore cuz i have a newer tank, and have only had to fix it once because i lost a screw when i was playin. this tank is the cheapest, lightest, most reliable tank on the market. i bought mine for 80 bucks. AWSOME tank. i love it and i sure anyone who owns one does. i cant say enough. i get about 1.5 cases of paint out of one fill, thats 3000 paintballs. very very very consistant. about a 4+/- in fps. |
|
| Conclusion: |
GO GET A NITRO DUCK TANK!!!!! mine was made in 99 when the nitro first came out! and it kicks still today! and it always will. so if you can find one made recently, that should kill! |

Pretty light. Isn't extremely fragile |

Even though it isnt as fragile as other HPAs, it still can't take abuse |
|
| Review: |
Got my 47 ci 3000 psi tank used for $100.
The main reason I got it was I couldn't keep my CO2 under 300, and was spiking between 180 and 330 all the time.
Has worked great so far, My shots never have been more than 3 fps apart.
|
|
| Conclusion: |
Get it, it's worth the money and you wont be disappointed. |

| Review: |
Bought my tank used on ebay and sent it in for hydro testing......2 months later (really) I finally get it back. After sending the tank in I called weekly to check the status, bit excessive I know but using a 47/3000 steel tank gets old quick. Every week I got told that the tank was shipped the day before (if you go by their logic I should have 8 tanks being shipped to me). After finally getting and using my tank I really like it, but will never buy another nitro duck thanks to their customer support. |
|
| Conclusion: |
great tank, poor customer support. I personally will not use another one of their products after the hassle I got hydro testing my tank |

|
|
| Strengths: |
Very light
Good regulator
The fiber wrapping looks awsome
No problems |
|
| Weaknesses: |
Well nothing I can think of. On the outside of the gauge there was a clear plastic scratch proof cover and it has started to peel off but I think you might need to take it off anyway. |
|
| Conclusion: |
I have a 114ci 3000psi which looks exactly like the one in the pic except bigger. It looks really cool, the wrapping on the tank is awsome. I bought mine for $115.00 shipped so I can't complain about the price at all. The flow rate keeps up with my Mag and I have a specially made cradle so I am really happy with my setup. I would reccomend this tank without a doubt and I have owned several tanks. |

|
| Strengths: |
I like this nitro set up. Its light in weight, and very reliable. I use the 47 ci. for my autococker 2000 and so far I haven't had any leaks or anything. |
|
| Weaknesses: |
I can't really say. So far so good. |
|
| Conclusion: |
I know that nitro systems are a lil on the pricy side but trust me on this, you will like it and i am pretty sure ur gun will to. There are probably better tanks out there , but so far i have had no problems and I would recomend it for everyone. |

|
| Review: |
I would definatly get a nitro duck tank simply because they are very efficient and they are very light. The only thing is that if you get a nitro duck tank, you are probably going to have to get a drop unless you like your gun being about 10 inches from your body because the neck is so long, but other than that it is a good product and my next tank (if I get another one), will be nitro duck. |
|
| Conclusion: |
This is a really good product |

| Review: |
I have had my Nitro Duck 68/3000 tank for about 8 months now and I love it! Some people will give it crappy reviews and and a bad reputation.........don't listen to them. Alright, now the review portion.
WEIGHT:
It is a very lightweight tank being fiber wrapped instead of steel, there is a NOTICEABLE difference. I held my friends tank (the exact same one only steel) and mine was so much lighter! Would you rather lug around a heavy, cumbersome steel tank or a lightweight, fiber wrapped tank? I think it goes without saying.
AIR EFFICIENTCY:
I own a WGP Orracle and I get about 800-850 shots off with it (pretty good). Keep in mind that its only a 3000 psi. tank compared to a 4500 or above psi. tank.
PRICE:
The Nitro Duck tank also goes for a very reasonable price-$150.00. You can spend a lot more on tanks that aren't necessarily as good.
CUSTOMER SERVICE:
Many will tell you that Nitro Duck has bad customer service. It does not. I had some minor problems with mine and they helped me fix it over the phone! The man was helpful, courteous, and knowledgeable.
QUALITY CONTROL:
My Nitro Duck tank had a few "flaws" due to poor quality control. My tank was leaking at such a fast rate I had no idea what was going on. I could hear it but I couldn't find it! That bugged the heck out of me. So we put it under some water as the customer support guy had told us to do. Bingo! The air had been leaking out of the gauge because it hadn't been properly screwed in. So with a little plumber's tape we were back in business!
ADVANTAGES OF COMPRESSED AIR:
It shoots cleaner, won't freeze up your gun on cold days, more consistent, and cheaper to fill than Co2. |
|
| Conclusion: |
I give it a 9 because of the leak. Some might give it less because of this but, with a quick and easy fix I feel it deserves a 9. If this problem had not occured I would have given it a 10. The Nitro Duck tank is an excellant tank for the money and would recommend it to anyone.
Oh yeah, did I mention that Rocky Knuth (team captain of the Naughty Dogs) said that it was a good tank? Well he did say it, right in front of my eyes! Buy this tank and you will not regret it! |

| Review: |
this is one of the best tanks on the market!
i have tried other nitro tanks and they just felt too heavy but this one is ligh as a feather (or two)
i also really like the nitro duck company! contrary to at least one review i read thier costomer support is great.
this tank is also at the perfect price!
if you factor in price with quality nothing can stand up to this tank. |
|
| Conclusion: |
in my opinion it's the right price for the right qualities that u need in a tank
Go buy this tank |
