Fantastic tank, super light weight and rock solid
Fantastic tank, super light weight and rock solid. Love that it has a lifetime hydro, holds a ton of air, and the ability to rotate the gauge and input nipple while its on the marker and gassed up is fantastic if you're swapping it between markers. Slapped this on a GOG Enmey and with an electric hopper on top, its so light, I was using it one handed comfortably during games. Never skipped a beat, and its nice not having to worry about my tank. Gas it up and go, get one of these if you're looking for a great quality, lightweight tank.Eedit: 5/29/2018Well, it WAS nice not having to worry about my tank, used it about a half dozen times, took it off my gun at the end of the day, and one of the o-rings looked like it was pushing out from between the bonnet, and the rest of the reg, and it just vented all the air very quickly. Pulled the regulator apart to take a look at it, and the rings looked good, no damage or anything. So I carefully reassembled, and since I could not get a rebuild kit in before the weekend, took it down to the local field to see if it would hold air. Started taking air without any leaking, and one of the burst discs let go, and caused it to not function at all, as well as scare the heck out of me. Realized when taking the regulator apart, and one of my older Guerrilla air ones, that it's basically the same, and that one gave me the same issue, minus the burst disc letting go, at a little over a year. Very unsatisfied with the regulator. The bottle is still nice, and I wish I knew someone local to take this to and get it swapped with a different reg. As it is, I'm now having to do research and learn what I can about what I thought was going to be a great and reliable choice.7/22/2018: Final edit just to let everyone know what was up with these tanks. I stand by the fact that these are some of the lightest and nicest tanks I've gotten to use. The regulator has some neat ideas and features, and I've typically heard good things about the myth 3 reg it's based on internally. Personally, I've had bad experiences with them, and will stick with ninja regulators going forward. I was able to put an inexpensive one I got from a member on mcarterbrown, of indeterminate age but certainly an older one, and it ran like a champ on this tank. It may also have been me, but first strike's customer service was lacking for me. Attempted to call, email, and leave a Facebook message, and only got a single response on Facebook, which was never followed up on. Ninja got back to me, and was a pleasure to deal with via email. I will certainly consider their products instead based on that experience alone. I would've loved to report back, and update this to 4 stars or so, but cannot in good conscience. The Amazon seller was also as helpful as he could be, but considering how long it has been, could not remedy my issue, and I completely understand. If you do decide to get one of these, I wish you luck and hope you have a much better experience than I.

Received Defective unit.
Received a defective unit, after opening it and checking it out everything looked great until I got some air into I heard it start leaking, Burst disks were still in good condition as the air seemed to be coming from the top of the regulator where the neck spins. While the idea is great, it seems to be a point where the tank can possibly fail. Ended up returning the product, I will definitely stick to my Ninja 68 tank, while it may hold less air and possibly be a bit heavier, their regulators are definitely more solid.
