don't want to spend too much for Hpa atleast not now. Could I just use a aluminum tank.

YEa, of course. The material the tank is made of doesn't affect performance at all. The material is more about weight and strength.

Aluminum tanks are pretty heavy. I might have one for sale in a bit. I'masking for 50 shipped OBO. 45/3k.

make sure they're aluminum and not steel. I used an aluminum tank, they're incredibly heavy, you'll love yourself for getting a fiber, but I can't lie alpha has a good deal for you there.

O yeah and I change my mind. I could get some cheap high capacity crossfires for as low as 125 on ebay. I'll just try to buy that.

uhh, last i heard there were only two types of tankes. Steel and fiber wrapped aluminum. There is no such thing as a pure aluminum HPA tank, aluminum isnt strong enough to hold that much pressure. If you see a tank that is plain metal then its steel. Fiber tanks are aluminum tanks wrapped with fiber to make them stronger.

No, theres steel, aluminum and carbon fiber wrapped. You don't wrap aluminum. You could, but not in HPA.

Im reading the label off my tank...

Aluminum High pressure gas cylinder
