Lighten up my gun???

[Paintball is Life]

Ok I have a relly heavy gun thats to heavy
Ir3
Egg
91/45 System X tank
Is there anyway to lighten up the internals a couple of ounces or more

Your tank is huge. That's adding a great deal of weight. Try a 70/45 tank. Switch to alum barrels. Change to macro line if using stainless hose.

how much do you think I could get for a System X 91/4500 with a brand new reg on it. I think its a centerflag reg. Are the CP 2 peice 12 inch barrels Stainless steal or alum

PS-how do u tell the size of a HP tank just by looking at the bottle???where

Yeah that tank is a beast. I dont know how the IR3's are on air, but if you want light go with a 45/45. Make sure it is carbon wrapped. Altho a 70/45 crossfire is only 3 lbs, and you will get alot more shots out of it. I bet your 91 is like 4+ Stiffi barrels are the lightest barrels out. Very nice too. Lose the drop if you have one. ANd use a Revi instead of the egg (I personaly wouldnt but if it is weight over speed then it works for you). if it is still to heavy. That would make it feel lighter And if you REALLY wanna drop some weight just put the gun in a vise, and Drill a bunch of holes in it ;) .

And if all else fails you can try the Gym Mod. ;)

Yea I was going to suggest beefing up the arms lol. Im running Angel AIR on my IR3 and its a bit heavy but no big deal really. As for air usage when I was running the gun at normal air pressure one game I carried on the field 8 pods and walked of with 2 in my pack and I played another game after before I filled up...and I was using a 45/45.

Well see my problem is that the guy at my shop says its its a 88 ci tank and System X says that they do make a 91ci but the guy I bought it used from says it is a 68/4500. The thing is gigantic. Now can I tell how big(like is there a place where u can look onthe bottle) it is cause if its a 91 I will sell it for however much I can get for it and get a 68-45 or 70-45 cause I am backman most of the time

On my crossfire tank it says it in unmistakable big blue Text. It should say somewhere on your tank. Just read all the text, and look for something that says "XXci". I am assuming you already know what to look for though, and just can't find it on the tank, probably because it isn't on it. There is a way to measure the tank to get the cubic inches. I think You need to measure the Length and the diameter. Then do the formula. I don't know how though. I Know how to get square feet it is Length x width = sq ft. But it is different to get cubic inches. Ask your math teacher He/She should know. If not ask for a better teacher ;)

Or you could go to the manufacture website, and give them the measurements of the tank, and ask them what size it is. They would know.

lol basically if you want a guestimate on your tanks cubic inch all you have to do is measure the circumfrence of your tank and plug the total into C=2r@( @ will be pie, C will be circumfrence and r will be radius) so then you divide your circumfrence by 2 and get x=r@ so then you divide r by @ and x by @ to find the radius of your tank roughly, then now that you have the radius plug that into the equation V=@r^2h( v being volume,@ being pie r being radius and h being height) so innately youd have ot measure the height also in order to plug the height into the equation i think this would give you a rough estimate but for some reason i keep wanting to think of an equation that has a variable cubed... so try that if it sounds right then YAY.

Ok I am in 7th grade that math is a bit to compicated for me but I did figure out how big it was. I got 1400 shots with my tippy and there is no way I could get that with a 68/45 cause it was a 3K fill. SO it had to be a 91/45

Lets just put it this way you dont need a tank that big on angel, most definatley an IR3. 68/45 is big enough. oh and just a note my last post in here I can only get my tank filled to around 3000psi, so I wasnt even at a 4500psi fill when I did that/
