Looking at air

[Jontain]

Seen as ive only started getting into paintball, air isnt a requirement for my tippmann, though it seems to be something i am going to need to do and i would just like someone to give some advice to the best air bottle to go for, i like the looks of the fibre wrap 5000psi air bottles by pure energy but is there anything better to go for.

Also what is needed to know for air as apposed to co2?

again guys thanks for all your help

Air is more reliable and it wont freeze up the insides of your gun, unless you have an anti syphon tube or something.
Fibre wraps have a 5 year test date from what I am told so they will last a while. Get air, its much much better than co2 ^_^

A 4500psi bottle would be fine, as nobody can fill to 5000!

Remote air

You'll probably find that you'd be best to remote mount your air in your battle pack, otherwise your Tippman may start to get a bit bulky...

Go to London Paintball Supplies (LPS) for a PMI 4500psi 1.1L fibre wrap for less than £150 delivered (price right at going to press.... I think?)

I think they sell at prices making them the most competitively priced air system suppliers I've seen... so should be able to sort you out with your air, hose, and a battle pack to hold it all... speak to them and they'll sort you out a good un I'm sure!!

Hope helpful....
