Also if anyone knows why some air systems are so much more expensive than others that would be great :)
air is a cleaner gas, which is preferred in high end, expensive equipment, you don't want a £100 solenoid being destroyed by co2 each time you play.

the reason some HPA(air) tanks are expensive is they are carbon fibre/kevlar weave. and can be filled to 4500 not 3000 psi. they are also lighter for the same capacity, as well as more ergonomical.

You can get 3000psi fibre wrapped bottles as well.

This isn't the forums for sale section

If it was for sale that's where it would be posted... along with dated 'proof' photos

I think the idea was to show that fibre wrapped bottles can be 3000psi...
