i thought it was quit fing talking... anyways if you dont know how to spell wrapped and are not a certified airsmith then you should just take it to a shop.. seriously if you do one thing wrong you could end up killing someone!

Am I the only one that laughs when ever someone uses the phrase "certified airsmith" in such a way that they are assuming it is synonymous with "person that always knows what he or she is doing with paintball equipment?" The majority of "certified airsmiths" that I've seen are professional packagers that ship the guns back to the manufacture. I remember several years ago when I had to go into the back room to check on the guy filling my tank because it had been so long. He was fumbling with the, albeit fairly new at the time, slide nipple cover. I'm sure he was certified...all the framed certificates said so. Beyond that, I could probably crucify 95% of the "certified airsmiths" when it comes to properly filling a CO2 tank. 3.5oz equates to 1 in what ever screwed up system the majority are using.

How do you get "certified" anyways? If I print out a nice certificate on my computer and have a notary public stamp it, would that suffice?

a certified air smith might not know how to spell "wrapped". But anyway it doesnt matter if I did it in a dangerous way because itsdone now.

does anybody know if I need a special asa for my reg?

[d4m4don3]

Wouldn't it just have been easier to pop the burst disk and let it degass that way?

[211]

You shouldnt need a special asa for your tank. it would be the first non standard threaded screw in reg Ive ever heard of
sounds like the reg is in need a a full rebuild

[Siress]

Do you have a 'burst disk: pop' command or are you suggesting that it would be better to over fill the tank to purposefully burst the disk? If you are suggesting that, it's a good idea if you have a suitable blast chamber with mechanisms to do the work. Otherwise, it's a horrible idea because it would increase the risk of personal injury and weaken the tank, even if only a small degree. The idea, and eventual method used, of loosening the burst disk is the best I've come to apply. It's very rare that the pin valve is closed from the loop so I haven't put a lot of though into it, really.

Please post pictures of this regulator, if you can.

Please for the love of god, take it to a paintball shop and have them deal with it...

I don't think we want someone on the 10 o clock news about how paintball is dangerous again...

He already did it, read the thread...
