Alright, I'm officially confused about tanks...

I'm going to use a standard 68/4500 HP tank for this example. As I (mis?) understand it now, the number 68 refers to the physical volume of the tank in cubic inches. 4500 refers to the pressure at which the tank holds said 68ci of air. Lastly, HP (high pressure) refers to the output pressure of the tank regulator.

What I'm confused about is the difference between a 68/4500 and a 68/3000. Do these both hold the same of amount of air??? ...simply at different pressures??? Will I get the same amount of shots off on each of these tanks? What are the benefits/drawbacks of either?

Finally, in regards to HP or LP, what are the main pros/cons of both? I've been finding all kinds of misleading information about this on the interwebs...

Thanks in advance for all the help guys!

The 68/3000 holds less air since it stores it at a lower pressure.

Get a HP output tank, you can use it with most anything out there.

So then does a 68/3000 end up being similar to a 48/4500?

It actually holds a little more shots.
