(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); What is the difference between a 20 oz CO2 tank and a 9 oz CO2 tank? If I go with the 9 oz, it just means I will have to fill up more, correct? There is no advantage other than that?

Also, is this a good deal:
-Spyder VS1 w/ 16" barrel, Virtue board, and clamping feedneck
-Halo B Electric hopper
-9 oz tank

... all for $150. Is that good?

Should I go with the 20 oz tank? Or should I get the Guralla Air HPA he is offering for extra money?

Okay, I'll go with the smaller one. It's free, anyways.

Now, this is a BIG issue. I wear eyeglasses. When I played paintball, my eyeglasses got all fogged up inside the mask, and I couldn't see a thing. I can't see shit when I take my glasses off, either. Are there masks that prevent not the mask itself from fogging, but eyeglasses?

Do NOT get a CO2 tank! It might be slightly cheaper, but it's worth the upgrade.


  • Air fills are available at most paintball fields for free, while CO2 sometimes costs money to fill up.
  • CO2 may freeze in very cold temperatures (this is only a problem for me when I paintball in the winter).

Exactly, sometimes the paintballs explode IN the gun and that's not vey cool. The paintball quality also makes a difference. If you buy paintballs with a thick shell, it won't explose in your gun and it will be more accurate.

For your gun, you may want to check for effective range. 150+ feet is very good.

If your friends have semi-auto paintball gun, you NEED one! I used to have a pump marker (because it was cheaper) but most of my friends had semi-auto. No need to tell you I was getting raped on the field!

Maybe you should try anti-fog spray. One of my friend used it and it mostly worked. It doesn't prevent the fog completely, but it delay it.

20 oz tanks hold more, by the numbers itself, it's double and then a few more ounces.
Nope, no advantage of a 9 oz, the deal doesn't seem all too bad, but I would go for the 20 oz.
