Angel 4 and Angel A.I.R Owners, PLEASE READ!!!

[tgaffner]

Hello,

How much does an A-4, with 68 Angel A.I.R Weigh? 45 A.I.R?

Thanks,
Tony

[Won Hunglo]

Full or empty?

[Vantage_TeS]

??? The air doesnt weigh any more full than empty...I hope you are talking about with a hopper full of paint...

[tgaffner]

Just the marker and tank....
No Hopper or anything...

[Vantage_TeS]

I can find out the weight of the 45 and 68 A.I.R., and then you can add it to the weight of your gun.

[tgaffner]

How much do they wiegh then?

[Vantage_TeS]

The A.I.R. breaks down like this:
Reg (with half the WDP minidrop): 1lb 1oz
45 tank: 1lb 14oz
68 tank: 2lb 1oz
Reg+45: 2lb 15oz (basically 3lb)
Reg+68: 3lb 2 oz (basically 3lb)

There isnt a huge weight difference between the 45+68, just bulk.

I have an LCD, and the LCD (Gun, SS freak back, 10" freak teardrop front, half the WDP minidrop) weighs like this:
Gun: 3lb 6oz
Gun+45: 6lb 5oz
Gun+68: 6lb 8oz

The a4 is gonna weigh in at around 5 1/2 pounds with whatever sized AIR.

...the AIR does weigh more when it is full than when it is empty

[Frank_McCrank]

eh how can air weigh?

[dirthead]

Actually, air does weigh, atmospheric pressure is the weight of the air in the above you. I have an 80cf scuba tank that I use to fill my 68ci pball tank, and the scuba weighs noticeably more full than empty. In a small tank, like a 68ci, the weighed difference between completely empty and filled to 4500 psi would be small, but could probably me measured.

[Vantage_TeS]

Thats like saying I can make my car lighter by taking a dump before I race. It IS lighter, but not enough to make a difference, or to be noticed.

[MDew007]

it is quite a bit different actually, dont believe me? empty your tank and weigh it, then do it when its full, you see.

[dirthead]

Nobody said it is enough to make a difference. All I said was that it does weigh enough to be noticed. The graphics on your tank add some amount of weight, but the are not enough to make a difference. If you would have said "the air doesn't weigh enough more full to make a difference", then I would have agreed with you, but you said "The air doesnt weigh any more full than empty...I hope you are talking about with a hopper full of paint...", so I had to disagree with that. Compressed air weighs more than you might think, a 68ci tank probably weighs a couple of ounces more full than empty.

[Vantage_TeS]

Very valid point. I will agree with you, it does weigh a bit more full. I was simply trying to squash the thought that there was a big enough difference to worry about it.

You've got problems if you don't notice air in a tank, it's pretty easy to notice especially on a light gun like the A4.

[Frank_McCrank]

got a problem? wouldnt it be better if you didnt notice the weight difference? i dont notice it. so i got 1 less thing to worry about. not like you have to worry, but you probably get my point. dunno how im gonna explain it in english...

End quote.

[Vantage_TeS]

Ah except when you are dealing with an AIR, you dont notice cause its like carrying a brick around. Dont get me wrong, I love my AIR so much, I ordered a SECOND one.

[Mana]

Heh, either way, air has mass, and when it compresses it gets heavier. If for some odd twist of science air didn't weigh anything, we'd have a hard time keeping our body parts together. I just find it odd that some one thought air is weightless and people didn't notice a difference of a filled and unfilled tank. My Impulse is a brick but it weighs a brick and a half with a filled tank. IT is harder to notice on a heavier setup, but I can still notice it. Especially after shooting all damn day.

[Frank_McCrank]

hmmm oh well i dont notice any difference so i dont care
