Review:
I bought one of these when they first came out last year. Great tank, i usually only need 1 fill during a day of play. (shooting about 2000 rounds) Neoprene 68/30 tank covers will fit them too, just try harder if you can't get it on, it will fit better the next time you go to put it on. No one that I have seen makes a 88/45 stubby cover so this is probably your only route. Anyway, not much more you can saw about a tank. Reg seems good, light, good value. Buy one, you wont be dissapointed. Crossfire cust service is good too. I originally bought mine with a HP reg, sent it to them and had the LP reg put on, had it back in no time.

Strengths:
It's light and it works great.

Review:
This is a great tank because it holds 1300+ shots and its light weight and it is the perfact size and fits right up against your shoulder with the warped sports cradle.
I've never had a problem with it and its cheap.
Conclusion:
I've never had a problem with it

Strengths:
Smallest tank made so you can tuck behind bunkers easily
Easily get 550 shots from 2200psi (perfect for a front player)
Light weight 2.4 pounds
The price is right (Less than $110 in most places)
Weaknesses:
I have found nothing bad unless you need more shots per game, but with 550 shots per fill most people will be ok even in woods games. I only carry 600 balls per game, so I am ok using this tank. Rarely do I shoot more than 400 a game.
Conclusion:
I think this tank is perfect for a novice player who plays a lot of speedball and the occasional woods ball. It is light weight and consistant.

Gen-x2 with 12" boomy and a warped sprots drop and bob long bolt.
Strengths:
This tank is very light. My friend has a fiber wraped tank and is a little bit lighter(I like that weight more honestly) but the stub is shorter.
It is like a chode
Mine is black with the stainless reg (Dont know, they make differnet ones but mine IS the stub)
No shootdown.
Cofortable to my shoulder.
Weaknesses:
Mine makes a weird noise on a fill. Never had a problem but its just weird. sounds like it is stritching but it isnt.
Conclusion:
Get this tank if it is your first tank (talking about HPA) They are VERY CHEAP. I have seen them for 120`
very consistant for the price
cheapier than many other tanks out there
very very durable so u wont have to worry about dropping it the first time(unless u like to on people heads which isnt too nice)
recharges good
as big as a 47 ci tank!
light weight for its size
wider for more to set on your sholder(unless u dont like that)
made with crossfire quality!
Weaknesses:
little heavy unless your use to it
doesnt last that long(but its only 68/3000 what do u expect)
color(but if u get a cover which i did its perfectly fine

umm almost any nitro
Marker Setup:
shocker 4x4 sport. with blade trigger
pirahna with crap
tribal 2.0
soon to be mag with some crap like warp feed
Strengths:
umm. its tuffer than fibers. it last longer. it is smaller than other 68's same size as 47 but just a little wider(who kares)
doesnt need to be hydroed often
OOOO shiny stuff on sticker.
stop complaing about weight. if u think thats heavy ur a wuss. i play front and its nicei and small. plus of course it heavier than fibers. but u dont woprry bout breakingit
Weaknesses:
ummmm wiersd color but i dont kare to much as long as it works.
gauge isnt all to great either
Conclusion:
i save 9 for really good stuff like angel air. and i never give 10 cuz nothing perfect. except for the time i bunkered this kid from behind in my 1st tourneyu cuz i ran past his whole team(3 man) and got 2 guys from behind without them knowing!!
impulse, 68 crossfire stubby, VL rev 12v, SP all American barrel
Strengths:
I think this is a great tank. I can get over 700 shots off at 2800psi fill. It is very compact, affordable (i didnt have to spend $200 on a "tourney level" tank). Durable. Works great for me + never had any major problems
Weaknesses:
weighs way too much. Before i had a drop forward, this thing threw off the balance of my marker a LOT. You'd think they would be able to make a tank just like this that weighs a good deal less. I get tiny little leaks here and there after fills from the reg but they go away in like 5 minutes.
Conclusion:
I think this is a great tanks for anyone (unless you're a wussy and cant deal with less than a pound of extra weight, I would recommend this to most anyone.
This is my first Nitro tank so I can't really compare it to anything yet.
Marker Setup:
ACI F4 Illustrator TP, 12" Smart Parts Teardrop Barrell, Palmer Stabilizer, 68 cu 3000psi Crossfire Stub tank, P/L drop forward, VL 200, ACI Venturi bolt
Strengths:
This is a really nice little tank. It's a 68cu system but way smaller then a carbon-fiber 68cu system. It fits nicely with my drop forward and seems to balance out my marker fairly well.
The psi is very consistent during firing and, of course, my accuracy is much better. The tank is also really well built. The gauges are easy to read and it holds it's pressure for a very long time.
The best part about this tank though is the price. I got mine for $110.00 from my local shop.
Weaknesses:
The tank weighs more than it fiber-wrapped version but not by much. Beside that I can't think of anything.
Conclusion:
A very nice first nitro tank for those of us on a budget. I would highly reccomend this product to anyone.
