looking for a nice pistol / hpa / backpack setup . I want the tank to be the safest on the market (any 7075 t2 aluminum out there?) and i guess low pressure since thats what ppl are using for airsoft and seems safer. Then also safest possible regulator/hose/whatever stuff u need. and backpack that has like padding between me and this timebomb i aint tryna get shrapnel sent into my organs like that one dude or have the regulator spit off into the back of my head

Why bother?

Just get a GG Pistol with a LP valve installed and carry it like a normal sidearm.
Not trying to be rude, but if sounds like you know nothing about HPA.

All the tanks you can buy are able to hold 3X or way more than the pressure of what is stated, and will pretty much never fail unless you have a carbon tank that has been hit with a sledgehammer, or hasn't been hydro'd in 15 years and was left in the sun.

If you're looking to primary this thing then by all means go HPA, but if you're doing sidearm then HPA is not the way.
The reason you'd wanna go HPA for a primary pistol is because mags are heavy as balls, and if you're running primary you will likely have more than 5 on you which starts to weigh more than the tank, not to mention the price of all them and their tendency of being delicate and leaking. And capacity.
I'd look at a Glock or Hi-Capa as Novritsch sells really cheap and pretty decent mag adapters for those, that way you can run MP5 or M4 mags where a $9 mag will hold more than $250 of normal pistol mags, will weigh less, and be less sensitive to drops or leaks as it can't even leak lol.

Big move, but if you wanna do pistol only then HPA is totally it if you're looking to get a solid setup and not have to keep spending money on fixing your gear all the time.

yes I want to primary it as I may sell my kwa eve 9 and switch to pistol setup. i play outdoor but we often lack lightweight objective players. and yea i will probably do the m4 mag adapter, can you use pts epm1 mags in the nov adapter?

and about the safety stuff.. i just want 0 or closest to 0 chance of safety issues as there are very young kids at my field often and i dont want anyone getting hurt nor myself. id like peace of mind too

green gas, not G&G specifically

If you think that modern HPA setups are typically as dangerous as carrying a timebomb, then do not get one. That would be the lowest risk.

I mean there have been deaths and bad injuries afaik. So I guess I wont get one then. Thanks guys I thought you guys knew something about this stuff but apparently not
if u even question why someone may think its dangerous then u must not know of the previous cases of injury which means your dumb and dont use hpa or your dumb and unknowing of safety and dont care about knowing about safety at all it sounds like so just enjoy ur self while ur on this planet i guess. that kind of living accident prone isnt for me i want to live into old age. Idk why anyone HPA lol idiots probly just wanna hurt ppl.

Thanks guys

BTW this statement doesnt help anything who tf cares what I know I asked simple questions here. And yes i do knwo about hpa. seems i know the exact same as all of you, considering nobody is answer my question asking for gear suggestions or if the quality of tank i asked about exist. nonhelpful and almost even sounds like u trying to gatekeep too. like who TFcaresif OP is new to hpa in this case u just answer the damn question or **** off
i can literally type 'seems like you dont know about [thread title] ' into half the threads on this whole site who tf cares why does that help? i come for info on hpa and u gatekeep me oujt of info based on my lack of info lol ur such a doujchebag go away

No, your questions aren't as simple as you think. Asking "what the safest HPA setup?" us like asking "what's the safest car to drive?" - it's entirely objective and based on a multitude of factors.

Every company that makes HPA gear builds things to a [very] high safety standard so things don't go wrong as you are thinking. There is also such a wide array of setups and combinations of parts for them that we can't just "give" you something - as every player has their own preferences to gear and equipment.

It not that we are "gatekeeping" in any way, but Forums aren't like Facebook, Instagram or whatever else in the sense that people will just spoonfeed you what you want at the drop of a hat. It would behoove you to fire up Google and do some research as to what all is available for what you want to do; get an idea and some parts combinations and then try asking for our opinion based on your findings.

Nope - people die driving trucks daily. I have helped pry them out of wreckages a few times trying to save them...

People have a higher survival in trucks due to positioning...not because they are just 'in" a truck.

If you do decide to come back...drop your preconceived notions and you may learn something...because by these comments

You have much to learn.

Green Gas = GG, LP = Low Pressure Valve that goes in the GBB Pistol.

Locked.
