bottle life?

[Tom37]

my bottle will need retesting soon and i was just wondering, how often do they "wear out"? or how long do they generally last before you have to buy a new one? i realise this may be a bit like saying how long is a piece of string, but i was just wondering about its chances of passing

cheers

They last until they fail a test, or 15 years from born date, whichever is the sooner.

The main failures with paintball bottles are, physical damage to the bottle, and stretched or worn threads.
