See our HK Army Alpha Air tank overview video here!
Okay guys we've got the HK Army alpha airs in stock. We've got the 77 here and we are here to do a little comparison we've got the Empire bottles the new Empire Ultra Light bottles, we've got a ninja SL2 77 and we've also got the very popular Infamous skeleton air in stock. We have the sinoloa sniper which is a very popular design and we are here to do a little comparison video for you guys.
What is unique about the alpha Air? First and foremost, it's a matte finish which is a really cool design. It's offered in this Doom style which is the skull design and then it's also offered in just the regular like stylish air design here that says "air" on the side of it. Overall, we are very impressed with the quality. I'm not seeing any type of blemishes or anything else like that. Overall, these arevery very nice tanks. I think that you're not going to have any issues with any rub or anything else like that. I know that Ninja at one point had matte SL2 tanks and that was like a concern for them. So HK must have found somebody that is able to do tanks for them that is just offering them really high quality cause like to the eye it really appears to be a high quality tank.
Price of the HK Army Alpha Air tanks with Regulators can be retail at $225. The price for bottle only is $179.95 for 68/4500, $189.95 for 77/4500 and $199.95 for 88/4500! They are offered in quite a few different colors including black, white, grey, green, red and more. They are now advertised as the lightest tank available and we are here to test that. It's just a really small compact tank guys so we are super excited about this so without further Ado we are going to first and foremost compare the overall height to the most comparable tank on the market which is going to be the Ninja SL2 77/4500 that has been a flagship bottle for such a long time. As you guys can see there between the 2 bottles, the SL2 77 is almost an inch longer than the Alpha Air 77/4500. The SL2 77 looks like it's right around 9 1/2 inches tall whereas the Alpha tank looks about to be about 8.25 inches tall. The alpha air tank is much more compact tank compared to the Ninja SL2 bottle. It makes up its volume of shorter length by being rounder in circumference compared to the Ninja or Infamous tanks.
Weight:
Let's weigh these bad boys here. Okay, so the alpha Air is going to be 1 pound 11.8 ounces. I think HK Army advertised 1 pound 12 ounces so man that is super lightweight. Now we've got the SL2 77 which comes in at 2 pounds 0.9 ounces bottle only. So the SL2 has always been kind of known is like that Flagship tank that's super lightweight SL literally stands for super light. That is a big difference! Now we've got the Empire Ultra Light bottles as you guys can see here I'm going to stand this on its top right here. The Empire Ultra light bottle only is offered at right around the same price point as the HK Army Alpha Air and Ninja SL2 bottles. The Empire Ultra light 80/4500 is just a little shorter than the Ninja SL2 77.
Next up, we're going to weigh these two. So we already know the Alpha Air 77 is 1 pound 12 ounces and now we've got the Empire ultra light which is 1 pound 14.5 ounces. The Empire ultralite is going to be heavier than the alpha tank. Last but not least guys we have the like Skeleton Air sinoloa sniper offered from Infamous in the 80/4500 size. We are going to throw this on the scale as well because a lot of guys rock this tank. The weight is 2 pounds 8 ounces. Wow guys, I know that like I think part of it is the gel coat that offered with the infamous bottles must be a little bit thicker or something like that.
The overall length of the Skeleton air is much longer than the Alpha air. So with that said, this alpha air is going to be a gamechanging tank within the industry. First, it's super stylish... I really like what HK did with the design.
Joel: Cody, which one's your favorite out of these?
Cody: "I kind of like the Empire 80"
Joel: Oh, you like the Empire 80?
Cody: Yeah
Joel: But out of the designs for the alpha...
Cody: Oh my favorite Alpha design would be the Doom red and black
Joel: Okay, but I am curious though... why do you like the 80 better??
Cody: I don't know I mean you hold more, it's lighter than the ninja, it's almost the same size
Joel: Is this is this too compact for you?
Cody: Yeah...
Joel: You're a front snake player
Cody: The ninja 77 is like a the proper size for the tank
Joel: That's what you currently use
Cody: I want the weight of the Alpha Air 77
Joel: Yeah yeah... I mean you're literally looking at about 5 oz of weight difference guys between the SL2 77 as compared to this new Alpha Air 77/4500. That is amazing!!
So overall guys, very very impressive um but I'm sorry Cody you were just saying you like the extra little capacity with the 80/4500 and then on top of that it's lighter than the 77 the Empire ultra Light is but it's a little bit longer than HK Alpha 77.
So guys, if you're looking for the smallest possible tank and the lightest possible tank, the alpha Air is definitely for you. If you want something that's a little bit longer for snap shooting purposes then you might want to check out the Empire Ultra light or the Ninja SL2 bottles. Overall, the alpha air tank is definitely the real deal if you're looking for something super light weight. It is the LIGHTEST TANK ON THE MARKET AT THE MOMENT!
Good job HK Army. They kind of really shook up the market when it comes to this tank and I think it's a game changing product from HK that's original.
