I live down the road from a dive shop, and they are useless. they claim to sell and be knowledgable about scuba shooting and paintball equipment. they told me that they dont fill scuba tanks used for paintball filling because theyre a differant size to normal ones, but last time i checked a dive tank is a dive tank.

i checked saying about differant volumes in the tank, he said thats fine but he cant do ones used for paintball filling.

now is he being pernickety or is it just me?

there is 2 types thats it! din and A clamp and then you get the adaptor for either of them you can buy the adaptors brand new from gunsmoke paintball. A clamp is 35 quid and din fitting is 55 quid and theres nothing to it takes 10 seconds if that to fill the bottle from adaptor on dive tank:eek:

went to my site they simply said sorry you need a din so i wasnt risking the safety of the entire universe as someone said (well maybe i have just exaggerated) but i am now going to take it to a scuba shop and get it filled cause i know i can get it filled.
