Also I think that this redesign has killed the Panther/Air Extreme 1 craze so I don't foresee much done with this version, but I could be wrong.
My Youtube PageGriever 2112 still plays with his alpha trooper quite often despite owning one of the scariest +bows.

Yeah, I've been looking at it, just trying to figure out what to use for the side wall/ends, if that makes sense. Fat PVC pipe gets expensive fast!Don't worry, there are plenty of us experimenting to find the most effective way to do tank expansions for the new versions.
I'd like to be able to fire some Buzz Bee missiles with this thing if possible haha.

iamthatcat's SSPB writeup perfectly details how to expand back pressure tanks. the method works universally on all tanks. I've done it to Hornet tanks (they appear to be nearly the same size as the new Panthers) and doubled or tripled stock range, so I'm sure this would work fine with the new Panther tanks as well.
I recall someone in the past trying to cut a Hornet tank in half and placing larger ID tubing around it to increase tank size, and it was a failure. So, I believe iamthatcat's method to currently be the most time and cost effective way to increase tank size.
New Jersey is fuckin weird

I feel the same way. But nothing i've tried so far has gotten a decent shot. Ive tried loose barrel fits and tight. I modded the other one I bought without plugging the bulb and it is definitely a second oprv. The first generation of smaller tank panthers were okay in my opinion. They got MAYBE ten feet less in range. But these are just atrocious.Something doesn't sound right with that. You are getting enough pressure to rip an elite dart in loose CPVC, but you don't have enough to fire a slug?

It has the same size small tank, the only difference is the second oprv. I'm not sure what the older ones was set at, but this one limits it to 3 pumps. The one I plugged is super loud and seems like it shoot shoot like a beast. It seems like it has a faster air release than before. It just baffling that even fully plugged it doesn't shoot like it should.
If you want to knoe where the second/third oprv's are check out my post that I made in modifications.
