featherweight buffer tank

[Gabe01]

What is the optimum size for such a tank. Obviously it will be derived from the capacity of the ram attached. But should it be bigger, the same size? anyone got an equation?

I'm sure I've heard a figure of 2 to 2.5 times the ram volume banded about before

I aim on 3 times ramvolume.
For featherweights using FP, it seems a 9 or 12 oz paintball bottle is a compromise.
Also, sodastream bottles are long, but narrow. Depending on machine, an interesting option.
