I am currenly borrowing a 88ci 3000 carbon fiber melee tank for a tourny this month. It's a major step up from my 50/3000 aluminum tank. It's lighter, go figure. It holds more air, and fits suprisingly compfortable on my gun. The reg's adjustable. If i still had my BT4 Assault w/super RT, i could've cranked the output up to 1000psi and let that baby rip! lolz.
The tank also fills very fast, an added bonus.
Conclusion:
This is an outstanding tank. The bigger ones are very cheap because nobody wants a big tank ;)
TCP Xtreme Autococker (Tricked Out Cocker all Planet Eclipse Parts E-Blade 2), Air America 68/3000, 14 in Empire Barrel .687 bore, Evlution 2
Strengths:
Light, Consistent, Reliable
Weaknesses:
I'll let you know when I can find one.
Review:
If your going to be a compressed air system then taking a look at this one is a must. I have never had a problem yet the two others I have used have had problems like leaking out the fill nipple. Its light. Very consistent output pressure. What else do you need in a tank. Also these aren't very expensive. I payed about $140 for this. There is no sense in paying a tank with all sorts of fancy stuff on it, all that is unnecessary stuff that can break costing you more money. A tank is there to be consistent not tell you how much time is left in a game.
Conclusion:
Great tank, you can't go wrong by buying one. I firmly stand behind this tank it is a great product. So if your looking to upgrade from CO2 to compressed and want a good tank that wont break the bank then this one is for you.
I was looking for a nitro tank to power my M98 Custom (This is before I bought my BKO), when I came across the Air America Me'lee tank.
I had read a lot of good things about the Air America tank, from the consistent flow, to Air America's lifetime warranty. Also the Pro shop which I purchased it from recommended it and it wasn't that expensive (I paid $130 for a 68/3000). The Me'Lee Regulator is preset to 800 PSI.
After a few days, I took it out to the field to try it out. I hooked up my tank and went to the chronograph and found that it was consistent (+/-6 FPS) over the chrono, and suffered no considerable shootdown throughout the day, which made me very happy.
I have not had any major problems with it since I have bought it, so thats another big plus.
Weaknesses:
Its a steel tank, so its heavier than fiber wrapped tanks, but thats not a big deal to me since I am a big guy and can handle the extra weight.
Conclusion:
If you are looking for a good tank at a good price, I would recommend this tank. It is consistent, has good air flow and is backed by Air America 100%%

ANS GX3 Autococker Polished Grey. 12in Lapco Big Shot Stainless Steel Barrel. 14inch PMI Perfect Ceramic Grey Barrel. Kapp Apco Micro Drop w/ Kapp on/off Adapter. PMI steel 68ci 3000psi & Air America steel Mele 68ci 3000psi. 12volt Rev w/xborad.
Strengths:
Its little more consistant than my PMI steel tank. On a Rec Day It will last me 3 10-15min games since I'm not shooting as much paint. Its nice looking. People tell me all the time how its a good tank which it is. Its consistant shoots about 700rds with my cocker. Has a good regulator attached to it. Screws right in to any asa with no problem.
Weaknesses:
The bad thing that I found out about it was that I used it in a local tourney and I got stuck playing back simply because everyone on my makeshift team was saying I had the most range out of all four of them. So there fore I had to shoot more paint. And I ran out of Air but I stayed in the game. So I had to barrow the owners 68ci 4500psi and everything was so much better. Thats the only down fall I found if you shoot alot of paint or play back and dump a case in one game get a larger tank.
Conclusion:
If Your like me that plays more Rec than tourney. Then you should be ok. If you play alot of tourney ball then you might wanna consider a larger size. Over all if you play rec or every once in a while then this tank will do you justice. Back players get a bigger tank unless you dont shoot over 700.
Spyder Xtra, 32* whisper, Psycho ballistic drop, Quickstrip bolt, Shocktech LPC, Dye stickies, 32* springs << FOR SALE $$$$$$
Strengths:
Nice tank, Pretty nice price and really good tank for the price, Cant be beat.
Weaknesses:
The thing is TACO complaines too much about how he hides behing bad trees and Once i get my cocker im gonna waste him even more than i did with my spyder. 7 to 1 matt 7 to 1.
Conclusion:
Nice tank, Nice looks good concistency. I think it might be one of the best tanks for the price. Soon enough matt your little high and mighty I have an autococker attitude will end. Cause the cocker worr will begin soon and you know thats gonna be a badass game.
This tank is soooo consistent, i had +/-3 fps with 5 shots over the chrony, i got mine when it just came out so it was a little expensive but u get what u pay for!! it also looks really cool, it actually looks like it has a reg on it, none of that crap like pmi and crossfire.
Weaknesses:
the only bad thing was i had to "break" it in, it took about 3 fills but it is sooo amazing now.
Conclusion:
i hear that they are like 170 now, and i paid 230 for mine, i shot 230 was way worth it, but 170!!! BUY IT NOW
autococker 2k1, Z-line Drop Forward, Air America Me'lee 68ci, 3000 carbon fiber tank, 14" Dye Stainless
Strengths:
This is a very good quality tank. First off you can't beat the price, I got mine for 189 bux! The reg on this guy is sweet, it is very consistant, you will have no dropoff during rapid fire. I have gotten many compliments on this tank, every time i get it filled, at my local shop the owner always says that it is a very good tank and that he really likes them, and let me tell you this guy knows his stuff!
Weaknesses:
after my second fill, my low pressure burst disk broke, very annoying!!!! I replaced it and havn't had any problems since!
Conclusion:
Very good high quality tank, It is recommended to anyone looking to get into the Nitro market. Could be your first and only tank you ever need!
Bob Long Intimidator w/ Derlin Bolt, AA 68/3000, 12v Revvy, CP Flame Drop and ASA.
Strengths:
Very consistant but all N2 just about is.
The tank isn't too big so it's still easy to shoot.
Easy to fill and it has a high enough operating pressure (800PSI) to work with most Spyder etc. w/o any extra parts.
It isn't expensive, i got mine for like 280$CDN which should be like 150-80$US.
(don't email me for where i got it)
Weaknesses:
Its a little heavy but that's about it.
Preset tank but don't hold that againt it.
Conclusion:
A great way to get into the whole N2 thing.
If you can't affort an adjustable tank this is the way to go.
Very nice recharge times! It is so light! I came off a 47 crossfire and the crossfire is about 2x as heavy. I love it I can snap-shoot more easily because it is lighter. I have the 68 cubic inch tank. I got the fiber wrapped for $180 well I think thats the site. I am telling you this tank is nice. When I first opened the box I was in love with it. It is a great price for the product.
Weaknesses:
This is the best part about this tank. There is no catch, nothing bad at all.
Conclusion:
Well this is probably the best screw-in that you can buy made from the air masters themselves at Air America.
