Can I just screw in a 48/3000 aluminum compressed air tank into a U.S. Army project salvo in the back of the gun. Or do I have to have a hose connecting them? Thanks

CI stands for Cubic Inch, and PSI stands for Pounds Per Square Inch. So a 68ci 3000psi tank would be 68 Cubic Inches, with a capacity to take 3000 Pounds Square Inch. That tank has 68 cubic inches inside it that can be filled to 3000 pounds of pressure.

CI is the inner volume of the tank, and PSI is the pressure that volume can handle. A larger CI doesn’t always mean the tank will hold more shots. For instance, a 68ci 4500psi tank will hold more than a 68ci 3000psi tank because it can hold 68 cubic inches of air at a higher pressure – allowing more air to be squeezed in.

Hope that helps!

Ah yeah, I forgot to make that clarification above. But yes, an N2 tank can take compressed air, and an HPA tank can take N2, as both compressed air and n2 are equally high pressure gasses. The only difference between the two is that N2 is cleaner than compressed air. Kinda confusing isn’t it?

Hope that helps!

I was wondering if an N2 Tank can be filled with HPA?
