Wild idea… 110ci tank with 4500 psi
Hello,
Has anyone thought or implement off-gun tank idea?
There are relatively cheap 3000-4500PSI carbon fibre tanks available with capacity upto 110ci. You could wrap the tank on your backback and use standard sprial-hose to feed the gun. Then make a nice perfect stock without bottle dimensions compromising anything. Have an accurate and adjustable separate regulator with pressure gauge both for tank and requlated pressure. Also reduce the weight of the gun a lot. The pros-list is endless. The only con is to carry the lighweight bottle on the back and have it separated from the gun.
See: http://www.luxfercylinders.com/products/paintball/productspecifications/us_imperial.shtml
I just can’t stop thinking about the shotcount with 110ci and 4500PSI. And the POWER and consitency with regulated pressure. Maybe about 150+ 60FPE consistent shots.
Or maybe the carbon fibre (AL core) tank could handle the hammer slap and you could also use it inline in the gun as regular bottle?
Our local dealer sells standard PaintBall AL-bottle (800ccm & 200bar = 3000Psi) for 40€. Thats about 60$. I think I will get one and try it out for my valve project.

I have done this with another rifle and it works very well. There are several types of remotes that you can get. It was not a Talon that I did it on so I am not sure how you would get the valve to interface with the remote but I am sure that there is someone here who can figure it out. However most paintball regulators only run 850-900psi on the output side.
