And I'm wondering if this means it flash fills the tanks? It only takes acouple seconds.

AGD Did someone call me?
You should go to each gun manufacturers forum or call them up. Ask the OWNER of the company why his gun is better. When you get your answers come back here and tell us what they said.
You should buy my gun because I have 5000 posts that say I care.

9 minutes is the how long it SHOULD take with 68/4500 bottles.
a couple seconds is incredible flash filling. Still doesn't beat the guy who opened the valve all the way and closed it after. Wow...

I should have been more detailed. To fill half a 68/45 it takes maybe 15 seconds.

One of the fields around here has one as well, which fills to 3000. My old 68/3k took probably 10-15 seconds to fill from empty. Kepp in mind that's an approximation...I haven't owned or filled an HPA tank ina few months.

My old field had a self fill, took like 10 seconds to fill my 68ci 3k tank. I love self fill, its quick and easy.Comment

They are suppose to fill fast, but in reality the safe time it should take is 9 minutes. I think youll be fine though, think of all the nppl and psp tournies where they use these filling systems and the thousands of tanks tanks that have got filled and not 1 injury/death.

The 9 minute fill time thing may even be a liability issue...read a goggle manual and it'll tell you to replace your lenses every time they take a direct hit. How many of us actually do that?"I would like nothing more than to walk around

Ahh, the wonderful respect for safety as demonstrated by the general paintball playing public.Originally posted by tony3
I guess all the firefighters are just big wusses considering the explosion shields and containers that they use to fill SCBA tanks.
One day, a 10 yr old is going to lose an arm and half their face when their tank explodes. How the insurance industry allows this situation to exist I have no idea. I thoroughly don't understand how the various compressor companies can essecntially be in cahoots with these practices either.
Part of the reason for my thread.

I'm going to find an old carbon-fiber tank to see how "strong" these are... you know, bash it a few times against a rock, take a few shots at it with a gun... then go get it hydro-tested
As well as do the same with some lens.
People have claimed to have shot their v-force lens with a .22 rifle and still have them in-tact.
Paintballers are impatient, they want their fill fast so they can go back to playing, I tend to have them fill my tanks, make them take 2-3 minutes to fill mine, as well as check everyone's hydro while I'm there... I found one field filling tanks with 97 and 98 hydros... no re-hydro...
I really hate stupid people, but it's their loss when their field gets shut-down because they didn't operate it properly and someone was killed.My Feedback

If it was some idiot who should know better as was doing something deserving of a Darwin award, then I might agree with you.Originally posted by Blazestorm
But, is it the loss of only the field when that mother was killed by the flying CO2 bottle? Will it be only the field's loss when an innocent kid gets killed and the whole industry gets shut down with the following lawsuits?
Actually, the day someone gets killed or seriously injured filling a bottle in a manner that is widely accepted in paintball but warned against by every manufacturer and far below how other groups perform the same task, that'll be the day paintball as a whole deserves to be shut down. The industry negligence is aberrant and criminal in this regard.
At least with SCUBA equipment you had to take a modicum of training and be fully aware of your own stupidity before being allowed to handle high pressure cylinders and to be certified to fill them.Comment

The only fills around here are do it yourself flash fills. Just recently the guy in front of me blew his burst disc on his tank. Scared the crap out of a couple of us standing right there but no big deal. I have never seen a fill take longer than 15 seconds at any of the fields or stores by me.

And running across a dead-end residential street blindfolded and with ear plugs is pretty safe.
Driving across rural railroad crossings without stopping isn't particularily risky.
Some people think Russian roulette with a six shooter is fair odds.
But to expose everyone to risks they don't understand, well .........
Would you let a family member do any of the above activities?Comment
CFOA tournies have those, only time ive used one, took probably 10 seconds or less to fill a 68/3kComment
