depends on the position on you play,
backs have big tanks and fronts have small.
Backs are consistanly laining so more air will be needed unlike the front who will be moving and not shooting as much as the back.

yeah totally depends, if your gonna be crawling up your own ass in the snake its nice too have a .7 i couldnt play with a 1.1 since using a smaller bottle. but you will only get a hopper and 3/4 pots out of it, so if your playing back then a 1.1 is a must really.

totally personal preference imho.

DM8s are spoolers so not the most efficient of guns

if you are the sorta guy that gets in there and does the job with a hopper full then a 0.7 would be ideal, but apart from that i would play it safe and use a 1.1

I play mid and used a 0.7 on a dm5 a fe years ago (there isnt a huge amount in efficiency between the DMs) and i found myself instuck a few times

i use a 0.7 and get a hopper plus 5 pots easy.
used a 1.1 and 1.5 and find them no good really, you want to keep it as small as possible and push on
