It will use it OK but hey, If you live north of the Mason Dixion Line, you won't be able to use CO2 in sub 50 degree weather without STILL experiencing shootdown. It won't take long for the CO2 to drop temperature and thus the operating pressure below what your inline reg is set at... Then you have shootdown. CO2 is DIRTY! Grinds up O rings if you don't clean your internals REGULARLY. Pure Energy makes some very nice Steel tanks that are affordable. 47 ci - 68 ci - 72 ci x 3000 psi. Don't even think about a 4500 psi tank unless you have checked with local players and found out for sure that they regularly get 4000 psi fills from the local stores and fields. I have one and I can't get over 3000 most of the time anyway. Been to only ONE scenerio game where I got 4000 fills all day long. The compressers can't keep up with the demand. Lucky to get 2500 at most scenerio games during the day.. So why pay extra for a tank you can't benefit from.
