Powerhouse Featherweight Tank – 78ci / 4500psi
Maximum Air. Minimum Weight. Absolute Consistency.

Built for players who demand elite-level performance without compromise, this tank combines exceptional air capacity, carbon fiber strength, and the legendary Powerhouse regulator technology in one ultra-light, ultra-reliable package.
It’s called “Featherweight” for a reason—this tank delivers the power and endurance of a full-sized 80ci system while being significantly lighter and better balanced.

It’s engineered for players who want a high-volume tank that won’t slow them down or throw off their marker balance.
With an output pressure of 450–800 psi (adjustable) and a lightweight build that’s up to 25% lighter than standard tanks, the Powerhouse Featherweight tank 78ci is the ultimate choice for players who refuse to settle for average.

Elite-Level Performance
What makes the Powerhouse Featherweight tank 78ci stand out is its airflow precision and consistency. Powerhouse regulators are known for tournament-grade reliability—they maintain stable pressure throughout your entire fill, giving you consistent velocity and tighter shot groupings.
The adjustable output pressure means you can fine-tune your setup to your marker’s needs. Running a spool valve marker that performs best at lower pressures? Drop it to 500–550 psi. Prefer a snappier poppet system or mechanical marker? Raise it to 800 psi for a crisp, immediate shot.
No matter your setup, the Powerhouse regulator ensures your air delivery stays smooth, stable, and efficient.
Featherweight Carbon Fiber Design
The name says it all. The Powerhouse Featherweight tank series was designed to be as strong as possible while shedding every unnecessary ounce. The carbon fiber bottle is reinforced for safety and structural integrity, yet the internal liner and wrap pattern are optimized to reduce material weight.
The result is a tank that feels noticeably lighter than standard 68ci or 80ci systems—while still delivering massive air capacity. The weight reduction improves marker balance, making your setup faster to shoulder, easier to control in tight bunkers, and less tiring during extended play.
Players report that the Featherweight feels as balanced as a 68ci tank while offering significantly more shots per fill.
Unrivaled Regulator Technology
At the heart of every Powerhouse Featherweight tank system is its precision regulator—the same technology trusted by professional paintball athletes around the world.
Key features include:
-
Consistent output pressure from first shot to last
-
High recharge rate to prevent shoot-down during rapid fire
-
Low-profile burst disks for a cleaner look and feel
-
Replaceable micro gauge and fill nipple filters
-
Modular piston system for smooth operation
-
Hand-assembled and quality tested in the USA
Each regulator is CNC-machined to exact tolerances, hand-tested, and tuned for stability. The result? You get elite-level air performance that translates directly into consistent shooting, no matter how demanding the game.
Consistency = Accuracy
Air consistency directly impacts accuracy. With the Powerhouse Featherweight tank 78ci, every shot feels identical—same sound, same velocity, same trajectory.
The regulator’s rapid recharge rate ensures your marker never starves for air, even in ramping or full-auto modes. This stability reduces velocity spikes and helps maintain tight shot groupings, making it easier to dominate lanes and hit long-distance targets.
In competitive environments, that level of precision makes all the difference between hitting your target and getting caught out.
Large Capacity, Compact Control
With an 80ci-class capacity in a slightly more compact shell, the Powerhouse 78ci Featherweight is ideal for players who want the endurance of a large tank without the bulk or imbalance.
You’ll get around 1,200 to 1,400 shots per fill, depending on your marker’s efficiency. That’s enough air for multiple tournament points or extended scenario play without worrying about refills.
Because of its balanced shape and manageable weight, this tank feels right at home in speedball, scenario, or mag-fed setups alike.
Built to Last
Every Powerhouse tank and regulator is designed for long-term reliability. The carbon fiber shell is DOT and TC certified, meaning it meets both U.S. and Canadian safety standards. The tank is also hydro-tested to ensure it maintains structural integrity and pressure resistance.
With proper care and periodic hydro testing every five years, the Featherweight can serve you reliably for over a decade of regular use.
Maintenance and Care
Powerhouse air systems are built for durability and easy upkeep.
Maintenance Tips:
-

-
