Stainless steel chassis
Step cut fill nipple back-check - puts an end to leaks and stops the "stuck back checks"
Shut off pin with bonded rubber seal thwarts extrusion
Direct flow internal piston creates the industry's very best flow rate, and averts "shoot down"
Sintered filters at fill point and base regulator stop contiminates before they can stop you
Balanced design maintains rock steady output pressure for ultra consistent velocity
Quick switch gauge and fill nipple design with o-rings create a reliable seal without thread sealants
On/off knob can be easily operated while under pressure

| Review: |
Okay. This tank is great. I have used it twice in the last week (both matches, I'm not counting shooting in my backyard), and it has been amazing. It is very light, fits in well, the guage is accurate, no problems. It gives me much less shootdown than a crossfire, and overall its just a nice tank to have. Some people have complained that the regulator comes off of the tank and the neck and their tank is "screwed up". It is SUPPOSED to. In the manual, it says the tank seals when pressurized and comes apart with EASE when there is nothing in it for easy travel. This is a great tank and I would highly recommend it. |
|
| Conclusion: |
This is a great product and I would recommend it to anyone. I would give it about a 9.7 and that rounds up to 10. You really should buy this if you have the money. |

| Review: |
I have had this tank for a while now. The removable reg comes off easy! if there is pressure inside of the cylinder it will not come off. The tuff skin keeps it from getting dented or scratched. It looks really good. keeps up with my gun. maintains fill for a long time. One of the lighter carbon wrap tanks I've held. It is a little big for being a 45/4500 just the right size for me though. Haven't had any problems with it. It may slip off your shoulder or wherever it is against your body because it does have a slick surface. But with my cover on I didn't have a single problem. Threads are very nice and screw in very smooth. They don't wear down as fast as other tanks and are strong. gauge is accurate as well. Comes off easy from my asa. The air is filtered to to keep your gun and tank clean and running on clean fresh air! Cheap I payed $120!!! |
|
| Conclusion: |
That is basically it in a short sweet to the point review. I give it a nine. But an all around great tank. Would recommend over crossfire, pmi, smart parts, and all of the low and mid range systems and maybe even better than most of the high end tanks. Considering this used to be an expensive tank (around 200 dollars) you can now get the same quality for under 150 depending on where you go. I found mine on ebay.Great system! and it's empire! |

| Review: |
This tank has yet to let me down. It has been consistend and a good value. It can take a good punishment from dives and bumping into bunkers. Its not overally heavy anf has a good small shape. The price was good ($200) from a local retailer. The reg has a good strong neck so it can take some abuse. |
|
| Conclusion: |
I would recommend this tank to just about anyone. |

| Review: |
I got this because I wanted a tank that could hold more air and was lighter than my crossfire. Well I got what I wished for. When I got the tank I was amazed to see how much light er it was full than my crossfire empty. No joke. The removable reg will not come off unless the tank is empty. This tank was built solidly. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Awesome. A bit pricy but its worth it. |

| Review: |
This is an excellent tank for the front, mid player. Its small body means that you can pack a lot of air in a small space and get the performance that you want. Because its small you can switch hand lightening fast(at least i can). But anyways the two piece system is a good bargain, it offers the smallest reg and guage in the market(i heard that from other review sites.) Some times its a buggar to get on but after a few times of screwing it in and out it goes in a lot easier. When Empire came out with this tank they added a new not so good feature it you want to keep you tank on your marker for an extended period of time(1 mo. and up). What i mean is that if you what to keep the air you have in the tank for a long time you have to take it off or else the next time you go to play in your backyard there wont be any air left in the tank. But other than those few things this is the tank to get if you have $225.00 sitting around and you want to up your marker |
|
| Conclusion: |
Get his tank for your marker! You wont regret it! Trust me! |

| Review: |
Well i took my system x up in the hills around my house and shot two hoppers and it was vere constand i brought my chrono and it only differed -2 or +2 pretty good. so my shots were very constand and the reg was on pretty tight the whole time. i really like it because when i bought it i didnt have enough money for a cover but it comes with tuff skin so it wont sctrach the carbon fiber wrap. |
|
| Conclusion: |
It worked very well for me and works well on my cocker so if u have $220 i would deffently get it. |

| Review: |
I decided to get this tank because of its weight and size, consdering I have an Angel which tends to burn throught air in four or five games. Its nice and light, very consistant and holds a great amount of air. I found its more efficient than a lot of air tanks, even though its $270, but it can be cheaper and better than most. |
|
| Conclusion: |
If you want a large air supply, a light and a consistant tank, this is one of a few to buy, I bought it and it turned out great. |

| Review: |
I bought this as my second HPA tank. I love it. This thing hardly added any weight to my timmy when it was full (mind you i was shooting a 71/4500) But anyway, the reg unscrews when the tank is not pressurized. A piece of paper tells you this, but i didnt read it. Thats not really a weakness just be aware that will happen |
|
| Conclusion: |
One of the best tanks i have tried so far. Read the papers it comes with and youll be fine. |
