I agree with Phantom Power, if nothing else, a reg is way heavier than a pin valve, the co2 is heavy because there's so much more when it's stored as a liquid, but the 13ci tank is still heavier.
As I mentioned in a topic about the new 9ci tank here: sweetest little HPA tank ever!

my big consideration in being able to switch to HPA is winter as in snow on the ground. It's unacceptable to spend so many months looking out the window, or struggling to play in the style I've chosen when the neighbor's impulse works fine all day. If I want to play from november to march with the gear I've chosen, then I have two choices, 1. jump through multi-regulated expansion-chambered hoops costing me a ton of money 2. switch to HPA costing me a ton of money. 2 seems to have more quality of life.

No way, you guys are wrong, the 13ci is way lighter than a 3.5oz, I own both.

13 cu is ligher then a 3.5 oz

I went through a 200 round hopper plus a little with my Stroker and a 13ci tank.

a steel 3.5 oz weighs more than a 13cu hpa tank with a myth reg, now an aluminum 4oz tank with a pin valve would weigh less than at 13cu tank.

4oz are steel, 3.5 are aluminum IIRC

the 13ci is lighter than the 4oz as has been stated.

I get between 125-150 out of each of my tuned, stock valve 2k+ snipers.

On a day shooting really great paintballs day I get more like 175.

my guns are well cared for and sweet-spotted very carefully.

yes, the reg is heavier than the pin valve - but the tank itself weights almost nothing - so the other benefit besides being lighter is that nearly all the weight from the tank is really close to your gun. Keeping the weight close to the gun is nice - keeps the package tighter.
