Hey Mate, there are basically 2 types of tanks. Well, off I go...
Basic bottles are made of steel. In an effort to make the bottle lighter but just as strong, there are bottles made of aluminum wrapped by carbon fiber. These wrapped bottles are lighter but more expensive than steel bottles.
Steel Tanks
Some Lighter Options
Lightest Cylinder Available
Now for the Shots per Fill...
A 47cu 3000psi tank = approx 470 shots per fill
A 68cu 3000psi tank = approx 680 shots per fill
A 88cu 3000psi tank = approx 880 shots per fill
-------------------------------------------------------------
A 47cu 4500psi tank = approx 705 shots per fill
A 68cu 4500psi tank = approx 1020 shots per fill
A 88cu 4500psi tank = approx 1320 shots per fill
Well, hope that helps some Oh by the way, what kind og gun do you have?

thanks for the advice, ive got an AGD RT pro custom, with ule body, intelliframe, x-valve, level 10 and a revy. i think my best bet is the 3000 psi flatline system because that comes with the luxfer tank which is very light, i wish i could get 4500 refills here though, 400 ish shots isnt much. i dont like big tanks, they dont feel right.
Drop
Hey Mate, I really would suggest getting a big tank and slap that on a drop forward.
Or check out some bottomlines, and slap an adjustable tank on there.
And while I like lighter, like Luxfer. The Steel tank is heavier, but it has an unlimited amount of tank life. While carbon Wrapped tanks have a max. life of 15 years. So just something to keep in mind for the future. Anyway, good luck, if you have any questions, feel free to PM me.
