I would say to add whether or not you need to bring a fill rig

You can get fills at virtually any dive shop in the UK, it's just a matter of them being willing to fill paintball cylinders

(the refusals are likely to be lack of knowledge of paintball cylinders or a suspicion of what someone is going to be doing with a marker away from sites)

I understand the use of air off site when you have been servicing or upgrading etc, however most of the time you can have some leftover air at the end of an event. This should cover leak tests and a few shots (if you have a safe/legal place you can shoot)
The exception would be the final session when organisers switch off compressors, so if you are empty at game end then that's it
There is also a school of thought to drain air before driving home - this takes away compressed air being transported and stored. But you wouldn't tend to drain free air then buy air

With the cost of fills at dive shops you can tend to fund a spare cylinder (a 3000psi aluminium should be available for £35 or less)
That's 7 paid fills. This goes back to my argument for new starters when people tell them to buy fibre cylinders from the start or they have 'wasted' money as they will upgrade soon after. A spare cylinder if you upgrade is never a waste

I beleive you're supposed to store cylinders with at least some pressure in them, this is certainly true of diving ones.

Correct, it should not be totally drained to ensure there is a little pressure to keep the valves sealed, avoid damp etc

Many will drain down a fair bit so they are not tranporting at high pressure

Note when transporting compressed air (as an individual) there is not a legal requirement for displaying the green diamond, but the fire brigade would prefer it. If you have an accident and the brigade are rescuing you they will back away if they find unknown cylinders
I recommend a magnetic sign so you can remove it

If you are in a company van / car etc then all the legislation applies

Fair point and well put. All of the ones I will put on here have there own kit, and I have spoken to about refilling.
