They are definitely thicker but shorter bottle than the standard carbon fiber tanks. I was able to get an exalt tank cover on it but it was almost impossible (I didn't hear it up in boiling water or anything so that may help). But because of the sort of stubby shape to it there is also a sort of bubble in the cover at the end of the tank where it doesn't go right to the bottom of the cover. I have a 68 tank. I do like the Hero 2 reg's ability to spin though. That is nice.
Hello Tony. How do You think is there a difference for a ball physics between magfed (non FSR) and electronic hoppers (feeders)? We used one type of paintballs on different guns (PLANET ECLIPSE ETEK 4 LT with Spire 3 on it and Planet Eclipse MG 100, magfed only) Etek doing just fine, but MG, breaks balls from the start. Can You make a video about which type of paintballs should be used in different types of feed Thank You
Playing magfed you need to have tough paintballs like most paintball fields that only let you use its paint is fine. If you look on UA-cam some videos go into depth
it is carbon fiber and the added weight is negligable compared to ninja sl2 bottles. The difference is only the First Strike tanks are UN-ISO (1113 i think) Certified which means it is globally recognized as 35 year lifespan with 5 year hydro. Ninja tanke are made in US and are DOT certified only... Europe has its own CE certification
Very very false.... these heavier than some other carbon fiber tanks... but almost all pressurized tanks need to be hydro tested (including steel and aluminum tanks). Hydro testing is simply putting a fixed amount of pressure into the tank with water. That way if there's a leak, it doesn't blow up because water isn't compressible like air, it will just be a slow leak. My assumption is they put some sort of anodizing or hard coating on the inside of the tank to stop corrosion. ALL CYLINDERS, including carbon fiber cylinders have an aluminum core that is wrapped with carbon fiber. Different wrapping patterns have different strength properties (which can allow the use of less carbon or aluminum) but are more expensive to manufacture (looking at you, ninja SL2). Please, please don't post this kind of stuff if you don't know what you're talking about.
@@aarondrossart6026 DOT regulations say that carbon fiber tanks Must be hydrotested every 5 years over a maximum of a 15 year period. After that they cannot be tested. So when I say someone is advertising Lifetime on a carbon fiber tank that's false advertisement. People get true carbon fiber tanks for the lightweight characteristics.
Yeah good luck every getting your FS hero tank hydroed .... I'm stuck with a paperweight. No one will hydro it and the scuba shop said yeah doesn't matter the 30 years it's dead after 3 hydros
@@Caveira138 thats whynits cheap. Though it is an 11/16 valve so youncan throw a better valve in it if you want. Or just get a bigger tank. If I remember right ill 3k tanks have the 36 year life span, and the 13/22ci dont need hydro. I will have to look again but its because of how thin the tanks are.
I know mark asked about tank covers fitting but they do look wider than other tanks. They almost look the shape of 3000 steelies.

I’d like to see them weighed compared to the carbon tanks.
What is the factory output pressure on the reg??
can the bigger tank you have on there be used to fill pcp air rifles?
In Canada tanks under 1 Liter (61 ci) don't need to be tested ever 5 years. Normally they still have a 15 year life.
The neoprene cover that works for the 68/4500 will not work on the 77/4500 fs tank. I've tried

When are y'all posting the RMG video?
First and I love y’all at lone wolf paintball might need to pick me up one of these bottles
Just order mine
I just took a look at your web site and it looks like you don't carry the 17 CI and 15 CI bottles.
Why is the cs2 pro all ways out of stock 😢
Are there any other lifetime bottles??
yup Gladiatair in Australia also has lifetime tanks
Lifetime means not carbon fiber. Meaning more weight.

Best valve, can be rotated with tank filled!!!!!!!!
I was wondering about that one

Correct me if I'm wrong but aren't aluminum tanks technically life time as well? I'm in the market for a 13ci tank for my KP3
just as a warning you get like 100 shots out of a kp3 with the 3k. in run a kp3 with a 15/4500 from imortal air and get around 170
