It will give you more consistency and effiecency than co2. Crossfire makes good tanks at good prices 68ci/4500psi is a good size to consider.

You can get a used Crossfire 68/4500 for about $130 or a smaller steel one for about $50-70. Yes it will fit. You'll have to have someone fill it for you, at a pro shop or a field. Unless you want to buy a scuba tank/fillstation/hoses ect. and fork over some serious $$$$$.

would an expansion chamber on a 98c screw things up if I decided to run HPA?

an expansion chamber is only needed for co2, b/c co2 needs to EXPAND. nitrogen or compressed air has a regulator on the tank, so the air comes out at high or low pressure(what ever kind of tank you buy)

so basically you dont need a expansion chamber, but if you have one its no problem

Yea he said it. An expansion chamber is garbage anyway, even for co2. You could just look for a regular foregrip.

4 bucks here...same as co2...but make shure you get a high pressure bottle
i also use a expansion chamber on mine, and now use a HP Crossfire 68/4500 bottle...it will just act as a gas thru grip. You could swap it out for a regulator but on a tippmann, it wouldnt really matter since it operates between 800-900psi and the hp tank puts out 850psi. However if you ever wanted to go LP(low pressure), you are gonna need the LP Kit and a regulator to bring the psi output of the HP tank down to 300-400psi range. hope i helped
