Can anyone tell me what size of compressor would be suitable for a vortex BBMG? Under $120 would be nice. And do you guys think 80 psi whould shred stuff well? I don't like taking things to high pressures now...

under 120 is hard to find, these days most compressors come as a combo nail gun kit so they raise the price, for the cheaper ones that is. Its not the size of the compressor so much as the HP of the engine. It could be a 1 gallon compressor you just need to have a good HP engine to keep the air pumping. Or you could just get like a 4gallon and have it fill to like 130 psi, than use that... its the same in the end size isnt a huge issue when you fire tiny little bbs...

This looks like maybe but it's only 1 hp.
