Why doesn't anyone use tank covers, anymore?

    Pros don't use them because it's better to wipe a slick surface.

    Normal people don't use them because pros don't

    But a lot of people use them. I do.

      I am also rejoining the community after 15ish years away and yeah no one has tank covers any more. They all use tape or the rubber undies. not really sure how I feel about this change.

        Ive gone back and forth between old nxe tank covers and hockey tape over the years.

          I'd run a cover on my 13ci tanks if I could find one. Tape works well enough though.

            This also confused the hell out of me, I played from 06-08/09 then got back into it around 2018 or so. I run all pump markers, but when I got my wife a 45/4500 tank for her emek it was quite jarring how hard it was to find a cover for her tank.

            There's some good points in this thread, especially about pros not using them for the sake of wiping and shops/rec players blindly following suit

                Because it’s easier to check the hydro

                  Because it matches the marker, loader and barrel sock, and they are no longer in business (Animal Paintball)

                  When you have skulls laser engraving, skulls grip panels, and skulls loader, you have to add a skulls tank cover and a skulls barrel sock.

                    behold, a valken small (45ci) tank cover on a ninja SL2 4500.. there's not much stretch on the fabric but theres a printed pattern inside, and that sticks to the bottle just fine.. thats with an extended ninja pro 3 reg
                    sized up against one of the mythical 17.5ci with a ninja 3k reg
                    ​the 17.5 is a hair longer..but only by a little Click image for larger version  Name:	image.png Views:	0 Size:	1.20 MB ID:	563501

                    nice, diy option i came up with last night. cut up some Old, neoprene camo gloves, with hockey tape on both ends so the butt (haha) still grips (hahaha). tanks is the hk army 36/4500, i didnt even bother looking for a cover in this teeny size.

                      That looks like the late model variety too, with the more rounded theme. Hell yeah

                      theyve got some great designs i just wish they would chill out with the huge logo on everything.
                      some folks would rather have more of the graphic than look like a billboard

                      I just got in a HK cover for my 80 tank. It reminds me of the Dye Rhino, but I doubt it will hold up the same

                        Has anyone tried a tank with cover in the zip hardcase? I don't want to buy one and have it not fit. I have Dye rhino and HK tank covers.

                          I have fit an 88 in a thinner old Redz and a 77 in the newer HK zipper covers inside the Exalt tank cases. A tight fit, but once it's closed it's not stressing the case's zipper. Still had room for the reg to be stored in the side compartment too
