My 68/45 just seems big. I was thinking of getting a used 50/45 but have never used one. So I'm looking for some others opinions.

Both are nice tanks i prolly would use the smaller one
I own 3 tanks a 45/5000, a 68/4500, and a 13/3000
I use my 45/50 when i practice play rec or i am using a smaller gun
I use the 68/45 when i play tourneys or i am using a really unefficient gun
I use the 13/30 on pumps

wow. a 5000 psi tank =P *troll*

i've got a 45/45, a 48/45 stubby, a 50/45 boobie, and a 13/30. i used the 50/45 mostly now. before i got the boobie i'd use the stubby. still use the stubby on my vic. but the 45/45 was just as long as the boobie and not as big. might even sell it now that i think about it

Is there much difference in the 68 and 50. Other then the amount of shots.

Trbo323

there are a few out there, problem is nobody can fill them

not terribly, i had a mini and had 2 separate 68 tanks, one with a short reg and one with a long one, that made quite a bit of difference alone so really it just comes down to how close or how far from your marker do you want to play?

Most of the time the 50 is about 1 inch shorter than the 68. Although it is just an inch it does make a difference in how it feels . It will make it seem lighter and very tight in the bunkers but you are going to get less shots, 4 pods compared to 6 with the 68.

Was going to pickup a 50 today. But all my field had was 45/45. Lighter but same length as the 68. So decided to wait.

Yea i love a skinny longer tank over a stubby
I do not like the feel of a stubby tank, if i really want to be closer to my gun i will just put a drop on it

I like the stubbies, I've got short arms. Although my first HPA system was a 1997 STO cocker with an on-gun Smart Parts max-flo 92/3000 (before you could easily find or fill 4500 tanks).

I have baby T-rex arms. I don't quite look like CeLo Green, but 2-4" in length wouldn't hurt aesthetic value.

I currently play a Ninja 50/45 on the back of my ETEK3, and a Ninja 68/45 (new purchase... Boobie Cancer Support tank... $149 at my field this weekend!!!!) on the back of my Reflex Rail. The Etek's ....physique?...and taller body/frame make me want to play closer-in, and the Reflex Rail's shorter nature is just a bit tooooo small to use with the stubby tank.

I do like the design of the 50/45 though. Having that little bit of extra bulk pressed into my shoulder and bicep...I guess I find it helps me steady the marker while shooting and reloading.


TL;DR - Get both!!

if it still can be hydroed i would have it hydroed, that way you can get 5 years off of it. hydro it, then sell it, fast. otherwise its dead already
