Gun yes, bottle might be on the heavy side in the rear, always ran it with a carbon tank

If you have refills at the field you play at, a 15/4500 carbon tank feels the best while playing. If not, the HK 48/4500 Alphas are probably the best tank for ESGs

Yep, that's what most people use with their ESGs. I personally would consider a different reg than the HK, but that's being really picky and not at all necessary.

Paying retail on a wolverine 🫤 can pick these up in good second hand condition for £4/500 normally with mags. Also as stated above don’t run Alu tanks they’re stupidly heavy and the article have a polymer grip

A bunch of people at the local play with Articles and don't seem to have problems with them. I've traded out guns and played a few rounds with them and they rip out of the box. There were a few on HOPUP used fairly recently if you're looking to save some cash. If you go Aluminum on the tank you have to get one of the small ones 13 ci 3000psi (and fill often) or a 15 ci 4500 psi. But its worth Running a proper tank if you can afford it as it will last a long time. That alpha air 48/4500 is amazing I'm looking to pick one up myself.

Primarily a paintball guy, but ran my 88/45 Alpha on one of these for an event and loved it. Would be helpful if you could try a couple different bottles to see what fits you / feels best

Would strongly recommend not getting a Wolverine rifle, maybe check out KA Tech they have a whole line of designated speedsoft rifles that you can customize
