IF YOU HAVE WEIGHTS EMAIL ME P8NTBALLSTEVE@P8NTBALLSTEVES.COM

This is for all the people who keep asking how much a system weighs:

First off, the bottles are not made by the reg companies, they are made by just a few places (carlton and luxfor are the most common). Luxfor bottles are lighter than carlton, so the real difference will matter with what regulator you put on the bottle, as you can get a luxfor bottle to put any of these regs on, and most companies will use more than one bottle company depending on what they can get in stock.

So, with that being said, here are the ACTUAL weights, NOT guesses, or estimations of the SCREW IN regs that are out there. Yes, some regs are missing, but that is because either I cannot actually weigh them, or I cannot find information on what they weigh from the company:

REG LENGTHS now included (not including tang on inside of tank)

ACI Bulldog III............................................... .(191.25 grams) (2 7/16")
Air America "THE REG"........................(182.87 grams)
Angel Air Adjustable reg...........................(498.95 grams)**
Archon Ignition reg...........................................(124 .03 grams)* (round body)
Category 5............................................(148. 95 grams ) (length 2 7/16")
Centerflag Hyperflow 420..................................(129.9 grams) (length 2 5/16") (hex body)
CP Reg............................................... ..(131.00 grams)
CP Reg (LP)..........................................(135 gr.)
Crossfire Regs..................................(215.55 grams) (2 11/16")
CrossFire (LP)....................................(218 gr.)
Dye Throttle.....................................(136. 74 grams)
DXS Reg..............................................( 244.00 grams) (2 7/8")*
Guerrilla Air Micro Myth(MP)..................(92 gr.)
Guerrilla Air MYTH..........................(100g) (length 1 1/4")
Guerrilla Air Ambush..........................(121.2 grams) (length 2 1/4")
Guerrilla Air Assault...........................(123.5 grams) (length 2 9/16")
MacDev Legionair..............................(140.00 grams)*
Nitroduck iReg.......................................(108.96 g (.24lbs)
WGP/FUEL screw in/Air America Screw'n....(189.75 grams) (length 2.03")
PMI pure energy reg..........................(194.65 grams) (2 9/16")
Max Flow Micro......................................(206.9 grams) (3")**
Nitroduck Plasma (3k reg)......................(217.92 grams) (2 3/4")*
Nitroduck Plasma (4500)........................(226.80 grams) (2 3/4")*
Nitro Duck X-stream......................(272.4 grams) (2 3/4")*
P3 regulator (HP): 203gr.
PMI/Pure Energy Reactor II (LP)......... (180 gr.)

*** Some regs listed are adjustable, and thus are not as light as others, the adjustable regs are the Air America Me'Lee, and the Nitro Duck X-Stream, and angel air reg. Nitro Duck regs, as well as a few other heavier regs are heavier as materials used are Alum/Brass/Stainless. Regs made in the USA and are handmade (not made on assembly lines) include Nitro Duck and Guerrilla air, and possibly many others.

*Denotes weight Given by manufacture and/or others who have weighed the reg for me. Actual reg NOT on hand to weigh.

** Denotes regs that do NOT require an additional ASA/bottomline adaptor.

(All regs not denoted with * are regs taken off of a bottle, so they are from actual runs of the reg, just like you would buy in any store, and weighed with a Galaxy 400 Laboratory Digital Scale.)

To help you compare, because most people in the US don't use grams, a standard viewloader VL200 non motorized hopper weighs 138 grams without any paintballs.

Thank you DarkArmorPB for this amazing post:




I always see people asking how long this tank is compared to that tank. I got a few tanks together to take a comparison size pic. I believe these are the most common sized tanks used today. Someone please correct me if I am wrong.

From Large to small, "right to left" these are approximate bottle sizes.

114 cubic inch. 11 3/4
22 cubic inch. 11 1/2
92 cubic inch. 10
68 cubic inch. 9
45 cubic inch. 8 1/2
47 cubic inch. 8 1/4
70 cubic inch peanut. 7 3/4
48 cubic inch. 7 <---Shortest bottle of them all.
13 cubic inch. 7 1/4





Closeup of the most commonly used bottles out of this selection

Does anyone happen to know what size threads are on the average air regulator? I have an Air America regulator and im not sure how to judge the size of the threads.

[sartek]

On the tank side or ASA?
tank side is 5/8-18, ASA is the same as CGA-320 spec

I personally own a CP 68/4500 and a DXS 68/4500, the weight difference is very noticiable. According to what you said, they both use the same cylinder. I find it hard to believe that it is in the regulator alone. Any suggestions or ways to find out if the cylinders are really the same?

[OGD#14]

Anyone know the longest 45cui-60cui tankand reg setup on the market 4500 of course.

And anyone know the length of the all red ninja ultralight 45/45(tank and reg)

Want to buy new tank just want to get the longest smallest tank I can get.

[antigoogle1]

c02 has guages now!?!?!

The weight is in the reg. Check the DOT number and the bottle should say inocom on it somewhere. (I believe)

[Nerobro]

I've got some regs I can add to this.

PMI minireg 1, Old school PE reg, AA Raptor Rex.

And because it's useful... A pound is 453 grams.
