Air bottles

[wattonboy]

Can some one clear this up for me i heard on a paintball site that HSE approved air bottles are no longer good enough and may in the future become illegal in tournaments. Is this true? I hope not cause there's gonna be alot of illegal bottles out there.

they wont be illegal for a long time, its just a new european rated bottle has come out, which can be used in all european countries, HSE is still perfectly legal

hse bottles will be legal till the end of there life 12/15 years from manufacture(i think)

Shops should not be selling new HSE bottles now - they should only be selling CE-certified ones. However, if you do get one, it will be legal for use and retesting until the end of its rated service life.
