I would get a 68/4500 but buy one with a short reg on it and then move my asa forward on the grip frame. If thats still not enough buy a rail for your asa and use it as a small drop forward

I already bought the 68 4500 and i believe the drone dx has a small rail.

if my $250 rail has a rail, so does your drone.

3 more days until i can shoot it!!!. since i have school i don't have time to go to the proshop until friday to fill my tank.
How do i make sure that the macroline stays tight and will i need to shorten it whhen i slide the rail forward?

I feel your excitement! You should have to do much, marcoline just kind of gets shoved into the fittings as tight as it will go. you shouldn't have to cut much if any, assuming your reg doesn't swivel. my rail's does, and I have it trimmed just right to a comfortable position. Just get another foot of macro on friday and mess with it a bit.

I borrowed and played a few rounds with my friend's 50ci and 90ci. I found out that compared with my 68ci, the bigger the tank is the more tiring it would be for me to hold the setup. Maybe I'm just not in the greatest shape but if you aren't a giant, then 50 or 68 shouldn't be that much of a difference.
Don't get too into what size, your body will just adjust to whatever AND the adrenaline from playing will get you going.

Shoulder the tank around your armpit.
If you're right handed, tilt the gun to the left and have the back of the gun pointing at your nose. Edit: unless you're snap shooting
Stand a bit sideways.
Generally got for a smaller profile making you harder to hit.
