Replacing my 3.5 Ounce

[ciaran.mooney]

I have a 3.5 ounce Co2 tank mounted on a ASA of my mag (68 pf. Thing is it says "94" on the bottle so its out of date, my local paintball shop says dont worry cos it doesnt hold gas at as much pressure as my main tank so it will be alright. Thing is that pressurised tanks are like small bombs and i dont like playing with bombs .

Does anyone know any shops in the*UK* I can get either a decent x-chamber or another 3.5 ounce? MUST BE UK, cos its expensive to order from the US. Advice on x-chambers will be much appreciated.

Another thing that i noticed about my mag is that when its gassed up i can hear a weird bubbling sound in the valve, i assume this is it just "topping" up with Co2 but if i shake it, the noise will come back. Its not constant just last a second or two, should i be worried?

About your 3.5 oz bottle. The US DOT Regulations say that if a bottle is under a certain size, (I believe it is 2" diameter) it is immune from being hydrotested. This is because there isn't enough actual tank material for expansion and contraction to weaken the bottle. I would feel 100% safe playing with that. Your bottle is perfectly safe and abiding by all US regulations.

Well i live in the UK and all i know about Co2 tanks is that they have to be tested every 5 years. But i guess that US regulations have to be based on something so i think ill keep playing.

I'd still like to replace it with a proper expansion chamber that is less bulky and can double as a foregrip.
