Unmatched Air Capacity
The 80ci 4500psi configuration is ideal for players who want to stay in the game longer without constant refills. This tank provides up to 1,200–1,400 shots per fill, depending on your marker’s air efficiency.
That extra air capacity gives you a serious advantage in long scenario games, big events, or tournament formats where you need to fire consistently across multiple points.
If you’ve ever had to leave a match early or sprint back to the fill station mid-game, you know how frustrating that can be. With the Empire 80/4500, that’s no longer an issue. You’ll have all the air you need to play aggressively and stay ready for anything.
Consistent Output You Can Count On
Air consistency is critical for accuracy and reliability. The Empire Mega Lite regulator delivers a stable 800 psi output, ensuring your marker fires smoothly and predictably every time.
With a fast recharge rate, the regulator easily keeps up with today’s high-performance markers—even during sustained rapid fire. This ensures you won’t experience pressure drop or velocity fluctuations mid-stream.
The result?
Tighter groupings, improved accuracy, and smoother shot cycles, regardless of whether you’re lane shooting in speedball or engaging at long range in the woods.
Engineered for Performance and Balance
Despite its larger capacity, the Empire Mega Lite 80ci remains impressively lightweight. The carbon fiber wrap drastically reduces overall weight compared to steel or aluminum tanks, without compromising strength or safety.
The tank’s balanced profile distributes weight evenly, maintaining excellent marker balance whether you’re using a compact setup or a larger electronic gun. The 80ci size gives you endurance without making your marker feel back-heavy.
It’s ideal for taller players, back-line shooters, or scenario players who prefer a longer air supply and extended shooting time.
Durable and Safe by Design
Safety and reliability are at the heart of every Empire product. The empire mega lite 80/4500 is both DOT and TC certified, making it legal for use at all major fields and events.
Each tank undergoes extensive quality control testing, including hydrostatic pressure tests, to ensure it meets or exceeds performance standards. The dual burst disks provide an extra layer of safety—one for the tank and one for the regulator—venting excess pressure safely if the tank is overfilled.
The tank’s carbon fiber shell resists cracking, impacts, and stress under demanding play conditions, ensuring you get years of safe and dependable service.
The Empire Regulator: Simple, Efficient, Reliable
Empire’s high-output regulator is designed for one thing—consistent, stable airflow. Its precision-machined internals deliver dependable 800 psi output pressure across every fill.
Features include:
-
Rapid recharge rate for consistent firing under heavy use
-
Replaceable fill nipple filter to prevent dirt contamination
-
Polished piston assembly for smoother operation and longevity
-
Standard ASA threading for universal compatibility
-
Dual burst disks for safety compliance
Empire’s regulator design is low-maintenance and field-proven, ensuring smooth air delivery whether you’re playing in tournament conditions or casual weekend games.
Hydro Testing and Longevity
The Empire 80/4500 tank comes with a 5-year hydro testing cycle, the standard for all carbon fiber paintball air systems. With proper care, your tank can be safely re-tested and used for up to 15 years total, making it a long-term investment.
Each tank includes a clearly marked hydro date, so you’ll always know when your next test is due.
