    First Strike half pint 15/4500 coming soon....

    I just received an email from First Strike that these tanks will finally be shipping "soon." As a pre-order customer, they are giving me priority for the earliest deliveries. I'll post a review when I get it.

        Once my preorder turns up I’m probably going to end up turning around and selling it.

        This is good news. My local proshop has had a bunch on order. I’m having them hold me one when they come in.

          MSG has some on order?! I’ll have to mosey on down to Middletown and snag one for myself (when they arrive)

          Yeah Sherry said she had a bunch on order just wanting on them to arrive. I guess new tanks have been difficult to find in general. She sells a ton of tanks threw the store on all kinds of sizes. They have been selling out quick she is going to hold one for me.

        I've been bugging them every 2-3 months since last March. I got the same email and a Hoodie since I've been being annoying.

        I've had a powerhouse reg for my tank sitting for nearly as long...

        Can't wait though, it'll be perfect for my play style.

            I also got an email today saying that it's shipped. Anybody know what the factory output is on these regs? Planning on using it with my phantoms initially.

              No idea, mines getting ripped off and replaced with a powerhouse lol.

              I'd imagine in the 640-850 range since they're supposed to go on the FS Magfed markers.

              I sent them an email about it and they said the reg is spec'd to 825psi, with acceptable tolerances from 800-850psi.

              Anyone get anything from ANS, or are these all through other vendors?

              Edit: Got my shipping notification from ANS today.

                Got my tank, plus a cool hoodie they threw in as a way of saying "thanks for being patient" (I pre-ordered mine direct from First Strike). I'll get some pictures up soon, and eventually a full up review, but I'm just really busy right now with an online course. But for now I'll say it is damn lite. For me, it feels like the perfect length to use as a stock on a phantom bottom line setup. I may just slap on some hockey tape on the back of it and call it a day. It really looks like it's "meant to be there" on a modified stock class phantom.

                  I ordered mine from first strike, and didn’t get any extra goodies. Boo. It does look nice on a phantom. Click image for larger version

                    Oh my, that looks good!

                    What kind of shot count are you hoping for?

                    Bass, it's lighter than a 13 by a significant amount, even when I added my extended powerhouse to it. Longer than a 13 for sure.

                    I was getting around 150 shots on a 3k fill on my T2 give or take 6-7.

                    Different marker, but a regular on the local field has one on his EMF100 and said he was getting ~300 shots with full fill. A lot happier with it than his old 13/3ks he had.

                  Full Tank length is 10 3/8" - that is reg end to tank end - (just about exact same length as my 45ci ninja sl2 with reg)

                  400g in weight.

                  Factory reg output is ~750psi

                  Fun!

                    Awesome, thanks for the measurements! Looks like I'll be picking one up.

                    The reg is kind of neat. It’s got a magnetic bonnet that is adjustable without tools. You can pick it up spin it so it can be positioned any way you want. It’s also very short. I’m planning on putting it on my 9ci after I swap out the burst disks to 3k spec. I’m going to put a powerhouse extended on the tank because it’s a lil short for me. But the reg seems great I like it’s design not sure how consistent it is but it’s built and engineered well.

                  You don't get to see a Brazilian Edition Ego so often nowadays. Beautiful marker! Did you already count how many shots you got from it?

                    Haven't been able to play with the 15ci yet unfortunately - but if I get some data I'll post it for sure

                    Picked the Brazil up new back in 08' - always loved the colors. Recently got the matching barrel freak bored by BMC so I'm stoked I'll be able to rock it in it's full colors next time I play. I always wanted to get the USA flag ego 8 to pair with it. Wish I could find one of those
