If you mean the CO2 cylinders - you go to a reputable paintball shop or site and ask them to do it for you. There is usually a small charge (about £1) for it - but it's your safest option.

Actually - same goes for air as well.

True

But!!!

You aren't meant to be using markers off a designated field- so 'having a laugh' includes going to a field and playing for a day and getting your tanks filled there (which is usually included in the game fee).

You don't play in public places, and it's not a good idea to play uninsured, ie on someones farmland or a field.

Not being funny, but shops shouldn't fill newb's bottles off-site. It's how things happen like kids getting arrested after having shot someone with a marker.

Not saying all or some newbs or even you would do this!
but, some would.

Be safe kids, 'just say no'

oops I meant 'play at a site'

lecture over

:D

by the way, on the topic of filling air bottles *random education for new people* if you didn't know never put oil into the fill nipple of a bottle; it'll explode. ;)

I know; they all do, Warped do & I think Phoenix do.
Just use your discretion peeps.

tbh if someone came to me and said 'can you load my bottle please'
I'd have to tell 'em I was all out or something :).

am I being too harsh??

It's just that this is one last small line of defence against those people who do do stupid things with markers. -If air & C02 isn't freely available they'll find it much harder.

for Co2 you need a big Co2 tank, available for BOC gases, and a Co2 fill station.

For air, a dive tank 3000psi will do, obviously filled from a dive center, and a fill rig, either a din type or A-Clamp, depending on the tank.

Hope this helps.
