Paintball Compressed Air Tanks
Air tanks are the fuel that drives the sport of paintball. These tanks come in all shapes, sizes, and capacities to accommodate different paintball markers and different playing styles. When buying an air tank for your paintball gun there are a few things you must consider.
First is the capacity of your compressed air tank. For most air tanks you will see a number like “68/4500.” The first number (68) refers to the internal volume of the tank which, in this case, would be 68 cubic inches. The second number refers to the maximum psi to which the tank can be filled which in this case would be 4500 psi. The larger the numbers, the bigger the tank and the more air it can hold.
The next thing players should consider is the material that the tank is made of. Right now, there is a big movement towards lightweight tanks for obvious reasons–they weigh less and, when speed is necessary, every additional ounce you have to carry with you can slow you down. These tanks often come with a thin aluminum interior that is reinforced with carbon fiber and resin on the exterior.
Secondary concerns for players come in the form of air efficiency, regulators, and, to a lesser extent, the type of bolt that your paintball marker uses. As an additional note, most tanks on the market today are HPA (high-pressure air) rather than CO2, except in limited circumstances. Before purchasing a compressed air tank, make sure that it is rated for the propellant you use (HPA or CO2) as well as the marker that you’re using.
