I have 4 cylinders available for the PTWs. M150 would yield 500+ fps, so no place I can really play with that. M130 yields about 430 fps, so some places let me play with that. M110 is my most used at it yields about 400 fps and all places will let me play with that. M90 yields about 320 fps and this would only be used in CQB or if I had a cylinder failure in the field. This has not happened to me yet as I observe good maintenance practices, but it's just there for back-up.

Pick your cylinder for the place you are at. The 9.6v battery is used for M90-M130 and the 12v is used for the M150, although some guys use it with everything (but there are risks for doing that). This means that 1 battery will allow all the cylinders you are likely to be able to use, so you don't also have change batteries in the field.
