andy b. · 09-08-2007, 08:58 PM

after wanting an AT-85 for years and finally ordering one recently, it arrived yesterday. this is the most fun i've had in a long time!!!! my son and i went through one 47 ci tank, and we could've gone through a few more if i had them.

i also want to give a BIG THANKS to Gumby for helping out with a shipping issue. i'm not sure if ATS realizes the advantages of having someone like Gumby who is available on this web site. there have only been a handful of businesses i've come across that make use of the internet to help with customer service issues on a personal level, and in my dealings it has always been a positive experience. Gumby, THANKS!!!!

i do have one question, about how many rounds should i get from a full (3000 psi) 47 ci tank? it is an aluminum tank, not one of the carbon fiber ones, if that makes a difference.

also, thanks to everyone here at MCB. i'm a total newbie to paintball, so i've just been reading. nothing much to post.

My guess is that your looking at 400 shots at the good end from a 47/3k

Being aluminum or fiber wrapped makes no difference, 47 cubic inches of air at 3000 psi is the same regardless of what is holding it (unless it is a heat absorbing pressure maximizer..which is fake)

Think about it like this.

ATS is not aimed at Paintballers...Gumby plays!!!

the difference is that carbon tanks are generally 4.5k while steel tanks are only 3k , but the difference between a 3k steel and 3k carbon is 0 except for weight
