Regulated paintball bottles ( Update )

[gedfinn 2]

Hi, I picked up my batch of these today , Here are just 2, Of them. - 200 Bar working & 300 Bar test,



Obviously the 2, On the left, They are in test until 2014 & 2015
respectively, He filled them all free 3000 Psi & are regulated to 800 Psi, I can tell you this is more power than Co2. ( I have tried them )

On the right are 2, 232 Bar airgun bottles, The threads on them all are the same, IE, The regulators can be swapped to other bottles !
The most suprising thing of all was the weight Empty & Full,
Full they are pretty heavy,
I wonder how many shots these will give, !!!!! However my gun needs a lot ? Ha ha,

I got these cheap, But they would have been very cheap if I had bought a larger number ,
I am no longer involved in the sale of these !
Cheers, Ged.

PS. Its intresting how Painball bottles are tested every 5, years ( It say,s on the bottle ) & Airgun cylinders are not ?

It's size related

Not sure of the details off hand but above a certain diameter and/or above a certain volume a test is required, someone in the know will enlighten us I'm sure

I believe size is the issue with periodic tests, also most paintball sites would refuse to fill a bottle that was out of test if you wre to bring one as a walk-on player!

...i believe its any bottle or cylinder over 2inch requires a test...

That definitely sounds like part of the regulations, I think that even 2 inch or under require a test if above a certain volume, can't remember what though

I play paintball and have a few paintball bottles, my 90cu (1.5 ltr) 300 bar bottle is the biggest and they are carbon fibre wrapped so they are light, only 800 psi output though
