well the PSI determines the size of the bottle.
the higher the PSI the bigger and chunkier the bottle.
but its well worth having a bigger bottle especially in sup air as it will last longer.

actually im sort of learning while im telling you also haha.

well the 1.1 litre i would have thought is the normal size that people would use in sup air, maybe a small size.
i cant work out the litres to the PSI as im stupid and young.

me too :) thats my logic 2
im sure theres some crap formula somewhere that tells you...
so i need to look for the higher psi and then im okay yer?
kool :)
PSI and litres aren't linked mate.

The size of the bottle will be 0.8litre, 1.1 litre or 1.5litre

The PSI rating is the pressure at which you can store air inside the bottle, it'll come in 3000psi, 4500psi or 5000psi.

yeah, higher the psi the longer it will last.
just you will want some better goggles than what that package comes with, if you get hit in the mask wearing those the ball pieces will just come through and it will sting!
i would say get some proto goggles or dye goggles.
they are the best i have seen.

right

the size of the tank defines the capacity of air it can hold at its specefied pressure

I.E 1.1 litre holds more than a 0.8 litre tank yeh

the pressure rating of the bottle I.E 3000 or 4500 PSI also defines how much air you can hold in the tank for the obvious reasons... yeh

making sense so far ?

you can have a 1.1 litre rated at 3000 psi or one rated at 4500 psi

a dive tank is rated in BAR I.E 232 (about 3000 psi) or 300 bar (about 4500psi) just much larger capacity as theyre usually bought as 12litre or 15 litre tanks ...paintball players usually play with a 1.1 litre 4500 psi tank ..if you can afford it buy this as with a dive tank (cost between £100 and £200 new) you will get a full days play and at least 3 cases worth of air fills

DONT listen to other noobs when it comes to advice about air systems .this is a dangerous habit,especially when they patently have no idea what they are talking about ..sorry
