- description
The entry point for HPA. This 48ci aluminium tank is the most affordable way to get air into an HPA system — a solid choice for players who are just getting started and want to keep costs down before committing to a premium carbon fibre setup. Aluminium is heavier than carbon, but at this price it’s the sensible first step, especially if you’re still deciding whether HPA is right for you.
Standard 5/8-18 UNF thread fits all mainstream HPA regulators. Supplied empty for transport safety — fill at your local field before use. Appearance may vary from the image shown, but specification remains consistent.
