PA league format 2007 and the air issue

[Raffles]

That is a good idea - in a non X-ball format. The game format for X-ball means that you don't have a table of fill rigs like at most other events (UKM for example).

X-ball is a different ball game as far as fills go.

Perhaps a 'fight club' player could carry on from here...

you know bud ,maybe you should wait till you've attended more than one tournament before you start throwing round comments like that , how often have you actually played the UK domestic leauges ? infact any leagues other than Alexandria walk-ons and have you ever been anywhere near the PA? this wordly wise paintballer stuff is getting a bit tiresome eh..

OH and BTW the last person that started picking fights like that was that Peni Tartan Blaster and look where it got him ..

i wasnt having a go or picking a fight, it just came across as it was the only option and other routes hadnt been looked at, and no ive not played the pa, but russ did mention all other leagues will soon be in the know ;p

so sooner or later it will effect everyone

anyway i think 3k fills would be much less hassel and like russ says if anyone wants >3k then they can bring there own dive tank

just hope that its not a common occurence of everyone running out of air :>

Ok guys, had a look through some hydraulics/pneumatics catalogues, and there is a good solution in the next size up of the existing fittings. Better pressure handling, and larger than the original so no way can they get used for 3000psi systems. As cheap as the existing fittings, and as you're only changing the male it's under a fiver. I'll get some in and look at the check valve side of it.
Have you looked at them yet Russ.??

 

[Raffles]

Tom - let me know how much they are please - I'll take a couple as well.

 

[Tom Allen]

We've got to keep these fittings in line with current hydraulic/pneumatic industry standards, so there's no iffy areas to be exploited and parts can be easily obtained.
I'll check out the fittings and post up some pics.

Sod all to do with me what they go for, I dare say the biggest influence will come from Hpac.
I can not understand it if you say you only have to change the male part, would that not mean both fitting's would still fit the fill rig.

Yes both will have to be changed, but for the baller it's just the male. I'll give the guys at Hpac a bell tomorrow if they're there.

Thats what is being done at the moment, as long as they meet the requirements needed they could do.

Im really sorry but can someone just clarify why we are discussing changing the fill nipples for different fill pressures. I am a little confused as to what difference to safety this would make?

Russ can you just explain this for me, a pm would be fine.
