4oz Disposable Tank?

[Potatoboy]

I was poking at Sheridan's site (now Game Face) and I saw this:

4oz Disposable tank (http://www.gamefacepaintball.com/gameface/gameface.nsf/airsource?openpage)

Did I just miss something or is it new?

Even though they're "Recyclable" I wonder how many will just end up tossed in the trash after a few games.

Seems like a waste of perfectly good pop cans.

[yeahthatsme]

they came out at world cup, i wouldnt use them, it would be more cost effective to just get a little 4oz re-usable tank.

how are they "recyclable"? I assume you can get them filled? So what's the diff between that and a regular small tank?

Also Those are Compressed air or CO2?

i got a couple free ones at iao, i hear they plan to sell the tank and a adapter for 20 bucks, and 2 tanks for 20 bucks, (estimated prices at time of iao). the top punctures like a 12 gram. if you peel off the label that says DO NOT REMOVE, you see who they are really made by.

Who are they really made by?:)

*drumroll*

just noticed they also had the info in the corner of the top label in small print over the LISS label.

so how do they claim them to be "reusable?" I assume you have to send it back to get it re-filled?

[314159]

the little adapter with the constant air threads, that the disposable 3.3oz co2 tank screws into (not 4 oz like claimed) is reusable.

it is amusing that the reusable part is a fraction of the size of the disposable tank itself (you can recycle it...)

would be a nice backup to have instead of 12 grams

and yet... my 20$ 3.5 oz tank can be used... forever until I damage it... and I can have it annoed to match my Phantom...

nifty idea, but its not very practical IMO... it also only costs me a buck (or free) to fill the 3.5 oz...

7$ 4 oz tank at www.pbgear.com :)

Only one I found at pbgear was this (http://store.yahoo.com/actionvillage/030-0025.html)

I think these are here for folks who live in the boonies where co2/nitro fills aren't available. In which case this may be easier and more economical than driving like 3 hours just to get a 3 dollar fill.

I think they are stupid..........one thing to put in the land fill!

[FalconGuy016]

yes, very wasteful if they come into wide use, but they wont im sure and you can use them as a more reasonable backup (compared to 20 shots with a 12 gram)

Been done before, didn't work then either. back in the late 80's someone had this on the market, it was to combat the recent release of constant air. I gave the 12 grammers who didn't trust those big CO2 tanks an alternative. Only they were 2 oz back then, hey Tom do you remember them? And I thik the recyclable part a lot like with cans and bottles. Good luck finding a air tank redemption center.

last time i was on haveblue's site, he had some of the 2oz tanks for sale.
