Only experience I have had is with crossfires. Any of these better or worse? Or are they all the same.

Crossfires are excellent, can't go wrong with them.

Crossfire is a good tank. Truthfully though I've never actually noticed any real difference between any HPA tanks of comprable price.

I have experience with both the CP and Crossfire tanks.

I'll be honest here...

I love the CP reg its nice and very consistent 850psi also lighter that the crossfires Stainless steel... BUT it can be a PITA....

Had to do a field repair on the reg pin because it decided it wanted to spit up its oring...

That is my only complaint about the CP regs so far.

The crossfires although only 800psi are rock solid performers and you can't go wrong with either.

from a cost standpoint I would go with crossfire!

thats my :twocents: for whatever its worth

All three of those are nice tanks and I would be happy to use any. I personally own a legionair though. It's nice.

I've been running Crossfires since 04', up until 2months ago. Decided to be daring and try some other, lighter, tanks for the 08' Season. You Can't go wrong with Crossy's though. Their Brass regs are more weighty than most, but far more reliable than many other systems.

On another note...

Got a CP 68/45 LP Tank for my Angel1 a month ago. Thinking bout picking up an HP too, for das SFL. They are Lightweight, top performing machines. Yes, you may have to rebuild one in the future though, but orings be orings...

Also x2... Picked up a new DXS HP 68/45 this past wkend. Used it on my SFL all day Sunday at a Scenario game. While it is a bit heavier than the CP 68/45, it performed flawlessly.

You won't go wrong sticking with crossfires. i've had both HP and LP and they were great.

This past year, I went with a couple DXS tanks because the bottles are small and light plus my local shop services them. So far so good with them.

just my .2$, I really like the CP tanks. They are VERY light and there 68 bottle is a decent bit shorter than a crossfire is...

I have two crossfires and a MacDev. The only thing I like about the MacDev is the one I have is "airline friendly" where one can take the regulator off the tank without the use of tools. That's my travel tank, the Crossfires are the standard I use most of the time.

I also have an AA Apocalypse that I use with the RT-Pro ULE.

I've had an HP preset Nitro Duck since 2k3 and I've never had a problem with it. It's in tip top shape. I'm thinking of picking up a Crossy though. Either that or one of the new Nitro Duck Iregs.

I'm using the Ireg now on a 72/45 with the 1000 psi piston. It's very light, and keeps up with both my emag and my egomag just fine.

Do you get any bounce problems on the egomag with the 1000psi psi spring? I'm asking to see if I should use the 1k or 800psi spring on my spydermag. I just don't know if it's possible to get bounce with an actuator like a ram or e-mech noid.

I love my GuerrillaAir regs. I have the FUKU model on my 88/45 and the Myth on the 114/45

I will do a review when I get enough posts to have the ability to post pics with it.

For now lemme say that the FUKU is basicly their Ambush Assault reg...but better built. It's absolutely awesome and works perfectly with every marker I won.

The Myth does not work with high pressure markers (Tippys, Spyders, etc) because it's a medium output reg (~650 psi). It causes recocking failures. The Myth also doesn't work too well with my Mag in high rates of fire. It cycles the marker but I experienced terrible shootdown when getting on the trigger. If you were to fire slower to say... > 2bps, then the Mag ran fine.

GuerrillaAir's owner/designer is one of the previous owners/designers of AirAmerica so I trust their products implicitly. I ordered the FUKU about 8 months ago and it was so awesome, I had to get another. I got the Myth for the 114 specifically because on its length but as I said, it works great on LP markers but not medium-to-hp marker set ups.

None at all.
