For Stronghold last year, we ran a small pneumatic kicker for the shooter and were able to run an entire match on a single tank. We chose to keep the compressor off-board to avoid the weight penalty.

Carrying an off-board compressor means always having to keep an external system on hand and nearby before every practice match, competition match, sponsor demo, etc. It is an inspected device at competition and requires duplicating the relief valve, gauges, pressure switch, battery, etc. Since humans will continue to be humans, there will be cases where the system fails to get charged before an event and you will ask yourself if those 2.4 pounds were worth it. For us, they were not.

Put me in the On Board camp from now on.
