I want to hear more than some random guy on pbnation talking about 6k tanks before I beleive they're going to be out there any time soon - it's hard enough to get a 4500 psi fill. I don't see a market for an ultra-high psi tank developing until the cost to product fills at such pressures drops. Those compressors are very expensive. All of the fields around here bleat about the cost already. The 5K tanks are fact, though.

Ha I wish I could get full 4500 fills, stores could NEVER get up to 6000.

Stop your whining! My local field doesn't even 3K fills! My friend had to get his own tank and fill it every time we got out. So we have to use that.

I know I can get over 4500 where I get my tanks filled. Thats because I get them filled at a dive shop. I'm not sure how high I can get filled to though.

At my local field you are lucky to get a full 3k fill.

I'm not sure if this is true but I saw somebody say that wasaga beach paintball can fill to 10,000+ psi

To me this seems like an awful waste at the least:/
