Rapid bottle sizes

400cc still in the lead - interesting to see the sizes that everyone uses

Have updated the poll to include 700cc carbon and now everyone gets 3 votes 👍

But still not listed Dr Bob's 380cc 

Fitted to rifles 2x Bob's 380cc, 1x 280cc, 1x 400cc

I will update it 👌

Meant as a joke, but there are a few of us using them

I have a 280cc and a 400cc bottle, but prefer the 280cc.

I have several Ally and Best fittings carbon bottles, but the Best fittings Carbon, nice as they are, are very heavy, anyone use any of the lighter ones?

I use the Inocom 480cc bottles as fitted to RAW/FX/Daystate, they weigh 420g v 560g...about the same as a 280cc alloy.
The BF bottles are heavier as they are 300bar rated, unnecessary for Rapids.
their 500cc is significantly lighter than the 500cc alloy but as you know still heavier than a 232/250bar 400cc.
There is a perception of feeling lighter because the aluminium bottles have thicker bases and balance improves
220? 300cc versions have no weight advantage- just fill pressure.

There are lighter 300bar-250cc 50mm o/d carbon bottles, weighing in at 250g  they're relatively expensive c£200 and have different threads to Theoben valves.

I've a few different bottles and while the best fittings Carbon bottles are great, they vary a lot in weight. They quote the 300 at 530g same as the 280 Aluminium, mine weight 620/625
I have a 220 carbon, they quote 500 and it weighs 440g

[Squinty]

If I remember correctly BF originally quoted several weights for carbon and alloy.
Compared to the alloy bottles I have 200/280/400/500- some quotes were bare and others must have included the valve.

their weights and my alloys & Inocom, think the 500 was 750g bare.

Weight:
220cc – 355g
300cc – 440g
500cc – 560g
580cc – 510g
700cc – 650g

I voted for 220 cc carbon fibre which I have connected to a Rapid fill on my fac non regulated 0.22" mk 1 rapid.
This fits in perfectly with the rapid fill below the silencer I have and has enough capacity to do more that 40
shots at good accuracy falling from 25 ft lb to about 20 ft lb.

280cc just in the lead over the 400cc - interesting to see that carbon fibre bottles are widely used too 👍

Ive just bought a 300bar carbon fibre 450cc 39cm long and 48.5mm wide thread m18x1.5 for my Mk2 should be here within 2 weeks I'll post pics when it arrives , main reason is to have larger shroud fitted

Added some photos of the above sized carbon bottle !! It has original vortex mod on which is 32mm in diameter and I think a 34/35 mm shroud would fit with maybe 0.5 mm/1.00mm gap! Is that acceptable? Bare in mind the bottle as above is 48.5mm in diameter
