I’d recommend peanut tanks, though it’s tricky to pin down what people mean by that since it varies for everyone. It really depends on who you ask about what a peanut tank is. I would suggest going for the 50/4500. In terms of tanks, it’s mostly about personal preference. They don’t function differently; they just have different shapes and sizes. If you need around 1500 shots, the 50 is your choice, but for 200-600 shots, the 50 should suffice. It boils down to how it feels on the gun. I shoot about 600 shots per game, and the 50 works for me; I prefer the extended feel over a larger tank like a regular 68, 80, or 77. It’s all about preference—smaller tanks for smaller folks. I’m big, so I prefer the big tank, but if you have shorter arms, a shorter tank could work. It’s really just a matter of personal preference.
