So, I'm getting a new tank for my twister project, cause this puppy is gonna be FAST and LIGHT. So, I was looking at small tanks, and well, I'm gonna get a Macdev 45/4500 LegionAir, and I have choice of LP or HP.

From what I've seen, tribals run at ~275, so I was thinking of getting a HP just because 450psi might not be quite enough, cause I go by the rule that your tank should have a pressure of your hpr + 200 so you don't starve the marker. My twister will have edwin's lprc and ss asa screw, but the stock valve, so I'm not sure how it all will affect the psi quite yet, so I was looking for your guyzes suggestions.

Thanks.

Really you shouldnt have that much of a problem, if you are just going to use it on your tribal, with LP. But with a HP tank, it has a better resale, due to it being able to be used on any gun, and as long as you have a GOOD HPR, it shouldnt matter.

honestly, I'd just get an HP Crossfire or something, and then a nice HPR (which I think you said you're getting a CP ne way)

Going with LegionAir, cause it well, Macdev, and they rock, and I want to have it so when I stop being poor and get a sonic borg. I think I will just go with HP so I can use it on different things. I mean, I don't think efficiency will change much if all.

And yes bull, I'm getting a CP reg.

I'd go with a HP as you can use it on all of your Tribals. Yes you can use a LP, but HP definately won't starve your marker.

Only one negative about a HP, you have to refill at 800psi!!! So you loose a few hundred shots due to that. That is why I like MacDev Conquest. My markers run around 150 to 175 psi hp and I can run my tank all the way down to 175psi before I need to refill. Usually around 1400 ball per fill!!!!
