HK Army Aluminum Compressed Air HPA Paintball Tank Air Systems - Standard Regulator

The refillable HK Army 48 cubic inch / 3000 psi Aluminum Compressed Air HPA Tank is an affordable and high-quality option. I purchased this tank for my son, who is just starting to play paintball. The tank installed seamlessly with his paintball marker. Its design allows for easy handling, including the flat bottom that makes it convenient for storage and use on tables. It heavy when filled. From a brand perspective, the tank features a fully rebuildable regulator that is hand-assembled and rigorously tested for quality and reliability. The regulator and bottle has torque strip to ensure security. The HK Army 48/3000 tank delivers an industry-standard 800 PSI output pressure and includes a pressure gauge for easy monitoring of fill levels. Safety is a priority, as indicated by the dual burst discs. Additionally, the tank comes with a 5-year hydro cycle, which represents the manufacturing date rather than an expiration date, ensuring long-term use. The tank I received had a hydro date of 5/25. Overall, the tank has functioned well without any leaks…performed as expected. I would recommend it to others. It’s an affordable and reliable product.

Easy to use

Works perfectly and is a better deal than my local shops!

I bought this tank to have a second tank for my Airsoft HPA systems (PolarStar Kythera and F2 engines). Its performance is spot on and it has quickly replaced my original tank as my "Go-To" tank, mostly because its lighter than my original 62ci/3000PSI tank. I have been using the tank now for the past 6 months with no problems at all. It just works. Both of my 3000PSI tanks are just heavy, solid chunks. The smaller 48ci HK Army tank is lighter simply because its just smaller with less materials. No magic. But the tank came shipped very nicely, I received an un-scratched, not dented tank with plastic covers over the top threads and fill nipple. The tank and its regulator have worked perfectly fine for all my airsofting needs. I can pretty much go all day on this one tank using either engine. The F2 is better at air useage, but even still a 48ci tank is enough for all day play for me. Then again, I'm not shooting full auto either. The only down side to this tank is that its heavier than much more expensive, carbon fiber tanks. But that's the trade off. Again, no magic. Do you want light weight and expensive or heavier and cheaper? I can easily suggest this tank to anyone wanting a cheaper, quality tank.

I bought 2 at the same time (6/18) and both arrived in the same box but were slightly different. Bottle #1 DOT Date: 5/2021 4-stars Slightly taller than the other by about 3/4”. A bit more square-ish in shape. Looks different from the product description. The regulator is a little longer and found on the run-of-the-mill bottles. Also, there was no cover on the refill nipple. Paint was semi-glossy and had a bit of a noticeable orange peel texture to it. The stamping was very difficult to read because the letters were shallowly stamped and covered in paint (I had to play with the contrast to make it stand out in the photo). Bottle #2 DOT date 11/2020 5-stars A little shorter and more curved, looks just like the one in the product description. The regulator is better made from anodized aluminum. The refill nipple also had a rubber cover. It had an even semi-gloss paint that was smooth (no orange peel). Stamping was clear (large and deep) and easily legible. I like bottle #2 more than the #1 as it was better made IMO. HK seemed that have changed their manufacturing some time this year and my guess is they cut-cost which impacted the quality of the newer bottles. Also, it was a miracle that both bottles weren’t damaged from the shipping. They were just kind of tossed into an oversized box with little protection. On bottle #2, it at least came in a bubble wrap but #1 was just a plastic bag. Overall, both bottles will do the job but I really do like the older model (#2) much more.
