Looking for suggestions
I am looking for suggestions on purchasing a tank for my ETEK 3 AM. I do not have any brand preference. I play mostly speedball, mid-front player and I am 5'10". Not too concerned about $$ right now cause I am just shopping, cheaper the better though!! If there is any other info required, please just ask. Thanks for all of your help!!:crash:

Ive been shooting a ninja bottle for the past 2 years and loved it but really any bottle will do. Just make sure you get one thats a good size fit for you because one thats too short is gonna make your gun feel awkward. Im 5'7" and I use a 68/45 but if you have longer arms then you may want to go with a longer bottle. Not because the 68/45 doesnt hold enough air but the longer bottle is gonna put the gun in the right position for your body, but like everything else I say on here grab someones tank and give it a feel or take your piece to a shop and Im sure they will be more then happy to let you pick them up and give them a feel

Ninja makes fantastic tanks.
I have a 62/3000 system which is heavy as crap but has never had a problem with breaking or cracking. The regulator is very consistant and is adjustable through the removal of shims on the inside.
For tank length, I would go with a 48/4500 or 68/4500 depending on your preferences. I'm about 6' and that 62/30 does just fine length-wise. It's a little long, but I'm still growing so I figure it'll be just fine by the time I stop growing...
Crossfire makes decent gear, as well as Guerilla Air and Pure Energy. If you can find an older tank on the BST forums here, you'll get it for a deal. I bought my Ninja new and probably always will buy my tanks new because of the safety factor, but it all comes down to personal preferance.

I would avoid 3000psi tanks because youre gonna get a LOT more shots off a 4500. Also a 48cu will be way too short for you unless you have little munchin arms. I mean Ive got little monkey paws and a 68cu tank is the perfect length for me so being that youre quite a bit taller Id say a 68/45 should be the smallest you even consider

Honestly, its all about your preference. Go to your local shop and see which one feels the best. I'm 6'5" and I prefer a 45/45.

ninjas are really nice but personally i like to use crossfire, id go with some sort of 68/4500 stubby, not too long of a tank, and you get a good amount of shots out of it

Crossfire, Guerilla Air and Ninja all make great tanks. I prefer the myth2 from GA, but any 4500 tank will do.
