The 68ci is the most popular HPA tank size in airsoft for good reason — it’s the sweet spot between air capacity, weight, and overall length. Not so short that you’re refilling constantly, not so long that it becomes awkward on your loadout. The HK Army Alpha 68ci takes that sweet spot and makes it lighter than it has any right to be.
As the lightest carbon fibre 68ci tank HK Army has produced, the Alpha range uses a carbon fibre wrapped construction over an aluminium core that saves meaningful weight compared to older carbon tanks, let alone aluminium. At 208mm bottle length and just 0.7kg, it profiles tightly on most stocks and doesn’t drag down an all-day loadout. Built to DOT/TC-UN (ISO11119-2) safety standards and independently inspected. Available in multiple HK Army colourways.
