it holds 3000 psi, thats alot more than a pod right>?

[Tabris17]

It's really meant for pump play as it's only 13 cubic inches. It really doesn't hold many shots at all if you plan to use it on anything else.

[faithfootball58]

is there any way i can cancel my order for it on compulsive pb?

[lostsaint]

i hope this is a joke, are you new to paintball if not?

[faithfootball58]

I havent played or been around anything PB in like 4 years, i use to use a 68/3000 so i thought that this would hold the same amount?
lol i guess i should have researched it more

[OnFive]

3000psi tanks hold about 10 shots per cubic inch, 13x10=130 and thats on a full fill. Because it's the weekend I'm sure you can reach them before it ships...

[lostsaint]

The PSI of the tank is how much pressure there is on a single square inch. The first number, yours being a 13 cuibic inch will only have 13 cubic inches to have that pressure applied to, a 68 will have more air since there will be a pressure of 3000psi (same as the 13) applied to that 68 cuibic inches of space inside the bottle.

ok, i emailed them, hopefully i can cancel this and buy a bigger tank

You should be able to cancel it through the account settings if you made one with compulsive. If not, email them with your order number and have them cancel it.

68 ci is much more then 13 ci so I really don't understand how you thought 13 would hold more then 68 in all honesty. Not trying to be rude or nasty, just trying to understand is all.
If you used to use a 68/3000 then why not just buy another one of those? Or better yet a 68/4500 tank, more expensive but more shots then the 3000 because it has 1500 psi more for a maximum fill pressure.

Rofl it's a good thing we said something, remember for 3k psi its (about) 10 shots per cubic inch for 4.5k psi its (about) 15 shots per inch cubed.

[killerWGP212]

Just call them monday morning and ask for Jon, idk if the store is opened sundays anymore due to AAPP closing down the road but check the site in case

[faithfootball58]

That's not actually how that works. For two 3000psi tanks, one 50ci. If the 50ci tank loses gets 10 shots per cubic inch, a 100ci tank, would get 20 shots per cubic inch. ;-) The math is a bit more complex, but it's not really crazy math.

While guns have gotten more efficient over the years, a basic rule of thumb for figuring out how many shots per tank, was 10 shots per cubic inch for 3000 psi tanks and 15 shots per cubic inch for 4500 psi.

I realise it's the rule of thumb. That rule only holds true for tanks ~80ci. It shouldn't be pushed around as a number. It's a useless statement.
