Hpa Tank Help!

[Echo-Newb]

Ok,

I'm just getting into Mag's myself. I want to get a ULE custom and I was wondering what kind of tank should I have for it? I know they take High pressure correct? Now would a 48/3000 Steel tank work and not mess the gun up? I've had a lot of people tell me that it wouldn't work, so I figure you guys of all people would know. Since this is the Automag forum.

A 48/3000 steel tank will not mess up the gun.

Any HP/Air tank that has an output of at least 800 psi will work fine.

So it should work fine?

[Dayspring]

Yes. Any HPA tank that puts out 800+ will work fine.

Steel tanks are going to be REAL heavy though.

[Echo-Newb]

I'm fine with the heavyness. I lift weights, so no big deal. As long as I can play.

Inless you want to fill up every game go with 68ci 3k or 4.5

Crossfires are great with mags

[ScatterPlot]

With that size you will have to fill up almost EVERY game. When I use my 44/4500 I have to fill every like 2-3 games.

How many shots will I get out of a 48/3000? Like 600-700 shots per fill?

[MonsterMag]

yeah whats the formula you use again?

[Echo-Newb]

What formula are you talking about man?

the ci/ shots

I want the 48/3000

[frischtr]

The general formula I have seen is 10* the cubic inch number for 3000 psi tanks, 15* the cu number for 4500 psi tanks...

47/3000 = approx. 470 shots
47/4500 = approx. 705
68/3000 = approx. 680
68/4500 = approx. 1020
88/3000 = approx. 880
88/4500 = approx. 1320

[MonsterMag]

as I understand it....the formula for shots per tank (automags) is as follows.

3000 psi = 10 shots per ci
4500 psi = 15 shots per ci

yor gonna get about 480 shots if not less

A 68ci 4500 would get you 1020 shots

Good thing I only shoot a hopper per each game. But jeeze, that's all I'll get out of a 47/3000? I guess I'll get it to start off with since money is a factor right now. But when it isn't, I'll get a good one. I just want to get out there and play.
