Just looking at the WDP site and looking at putting air on my marker, but i realise i have no idea what it all means.

3000 psi 45 CU
4500psi 88cu

its all numbers, and what do they mean.

Can I have a begginers guide to Air please and what you need to look out for when buying it.

Thank you

3000 or 4500psi = bottle pressure

45 or 88cu = bottle capacity

It basically means that the larger the bottle and greater pressure it can take, the more shots you'll get from it (properly regulated of course).

E.g. I use a 68cu (1.1litre) 4500psi system and get about 800-900 shots from it (due to the fact I can rarely fill the bottle to 4500psi, more like 3500psi with my fill rig).

The standard today is 4500psi but bottle size is a "size preference v number of shots" choice.

HTH.
