dual HPA

[cappo]

Hi we play at the Hilton site might have seen you there, only been playing just over a year got tippmann a5 with a flatline its a bit of an air hog the site uses c02 so we use that when we play there normally use 3 tanks to shoot 1 box of paint. We went to north vrs south last month so got our selfs hpa tanks " great weekend" while there I noticed that lots of folk had two or three tanks linked together but not sure how it would be done our basic air tanks were only 40 pounds from the phoenix site shop So for the price was thinking of getting another and putting both on my tac vest and oh and I've just up graded to a phenom but not tried it yet.

hilton is where i play and work so may have seen you there yes, as for the site c02, i personally started with c02, then gone to HPA and can tell the difference. Do you play walk-on days or basic with all normal players? which phenom did you get? if your playing down the site some time, if you'd be ok with me looking at your marker i could surely tag along that weekend and either work/play along side yourself

thanks for the help bojjob, i'be been meaning to get an electric hopper for a while as mine has started to feed irregularly especially when the hopper is full (i never enter a game without a full hopper and 4 full pots). i personally dont like the looks of the cyclone, it makes the X7 look very ugly, not that i like the looks of the marker andyway but it seems to have good reviews (even with all the plastic parts which has put me off)

the bt i've watched some reviews and its basically a very limited upgradable gun, that has the internals of an invert mini, so just a dressed up speedball marker.

the tiberius gets multiple opinions from what ive seen. accepts first strike and paintballs which i wont use first strike. needs taking apart to use a HPA bottle though which sucks. i guess looks make up for that a little, cant upgrade the barrel though

Just checked the internet, soooo many people are going to tourney markers, but some that like the milsim look are getting ones with bodies you can attach so you have the performance with the look. If i can get a speedball marker and save having to get a new tank i will. I will have to go down to phoenix and get ly hpa filled and ask if i can try some markers out. Dont think they have any speedball markers for £500, their main ones are dye so will have to check

The new etek4 has come into stock today on a. ouple of websites, i like the look of the marker and the etek3 has great reviews compared to the axe and reflex. I like the way the controls are for the circuit also. Although its said to be loud, going from my omega to this l, noise wouldnt be such an issue, and it has very high efficiency with the zick2 kit. I may be swayed towards this marker right now, but may go for the full alloy version for an extra £80 im unsure

TM15 is essentially a Mini in a scenario shell.

yeh thats what i've found. Spoke to my boss earlier so im taking in my marker on sunday for it to be stripped down and checked over by phoenix to see if they can improve the poor range i get from it and maybe make it more efficient. I still will most likely upgrade now though. Since ive already started to look i wont get the idea out my head until i've done it

If its a standard Omega you should get many more shots out of a 20oz CO2 tank than a 0.8 air tank (runs off and hides before getting flamed for liking CO2)

i used c02 and it was rubbish, way too much of a loss in performance when the bottle is used a lot

 

[M600]

something like this?

 

[big JME]

lmao yeh but thats rather ott, and isnt that using c02? which operates differently to multiple HPA tanks due to the regulators

 

[Canon Fodder]

Nope, would work the same, you just need a marker as marvelous as the VM68 to mount them all on. There's something like 75 oz of CO2 there, you'd get about 2.5 cases of paint out of an old gas hog like that from that much I think.
