Whats the story with 3000psi aluminium tanks?

[Dougy]

Hey all have been puting off biting the bullet and going to air for some time now(mainly because Im cheap) when I notice 3000psi aluminium tanks (which seem remarkably cheap), in shorts whats the deal? pros/cons
are they better suited to particular markers/ROF/pressure kits etc....?

If anyone in the know I most appreciate there opinion....:thumbsup:

i have heard that there just heavier

In a nutshell
Cons,
Heavier, and being 3000 PSI they hold less air preasure.
If you play 7 man and play back - In the standard 68ci, It won't be enough for you.
5 man or front position should be fine
No resale value either.

Pro's
You will be one of only 3 people waiting to get air at the fill station, due to the small ammount of people using them hehehe.
That's about it

And as well you can join the mighty Hodgo who I believes still plays with one (steel tank that is)

Cheers BJM.... H'mmm still pondering personally weight isn't an issue it will be on a remote and Im only recballing and am rarely going to use vast amounts of paint.
What kinda number of shots would you get from a 72' 3000psi tank (bearing in mind I'm using a airhog tippmann A5 which would probably get less than a 1000 or so from a 68" 4500psi)

Anyway thanks for the advice...
