:eek: they just get bigger and bigger...
nothing wrong with that :D
thanks guys, but how the hell can you wear a pack that carries twenty 150 rnd pods and still move! good thing ur at the back with all that!
wait, i don't think i mentioned, but i'll be doing 5-man tournies, should i still get as big a tank as possible? ( better safe than sorry, or less weight+more manuverability?)

ooh, adn what size tank should i get if i want to fire about 1500 rounds before refilling?
what's the most comfortable sized tank, and what pressure is the best (3000psi or 4500psi?) .when would i be carrying enough paint to be too cumbersome or slow, or too painful as well? safety first.

You can get 1500 rounds off of a 68/4500, but a 88/4500 would give you a little bit more room. The 88 isn't any longer, just fatter and was an easy transition from a 68.

When I play a corner I usually don't carry anymore then 13 pods, when I'm playing back center I carry 15-16 since I don't have far to run off the break and can get rid of 4-5 pods in the first couple minutes before I need to insert into the middle. If you are playing a back spot, remember as long as you make it to your initial spot you can drop paint if you figure out you don't need it later in the game.

I don't run very fast, but I've yet to get shot out running to my corner this season. You'll probably want to try it out and practice and see what is comfortable for you. I recommend exercising your abs and back so it will be easier to carry more paint if you get up into the 9+ pod range.

For 5-man pick up a 9 pack or one of the larger packs that takes as much space as a 9 pack, but folds when the extra pods are not in use (ER, NarTech/WGP, JT). If I were you I'd get the 88, but a 68 will probably due. I always plan for the future, I knew when I got my last tank that I'd be playing 10-man within 6 months so I picked up the 88. If you are going to play mid then a 68 will do just fine.

Have fun!

I play back The most i use would be 7 pots & a hopper per game as this is the max i can get out of one air fill on my shocker/1.5l 4500.. Average i guess is 6 pots plus hopper depending on my duration in the game, lol !!
