A friend and i are probably going to each own markers by the end of this month. Is it legal for us to play on a field (just grass), providing we get permission off the owner? Also, what would we do for CO2, apart from paintball fields, i wouldn't know where to get it. Thanx for your replies...

You wouldn't have any insurrance for injury, even with permission from the owner (though farmers do have to have public liabilty inssurrance) as for CO2, hire a tank from a paintball site (if they are willing to let you that is) To be honest just find a site where you can do walk-ons (use your own markers) as this would be way less hassle.

What Kind of markers?

 

[Sean Diamond]

Black Draguns Probably

a bulk CO2 tank (5 foot tall) costs about £3 a month to rent and about £18 to fill. BOC or AIR PRODUCTS can sort u out with one of these if you are going to play regularly away from a site with CO2 facilities

 

[Sean Diamond]

Woah, sounds very cool. How much would this tank do you for, shots wise?

 

[smartecosse]

depends on the temp and ur marker. normally u should get 80-100 refills out of the bulk so if u get 800 from ur 20OZ then 72,000 or so

what would be the sorta prices for air?

 

[Sean Diamond]

Wow, thats probably a tad too much (hint of sarcasm there). Is that the reason why people by dive tanks, i presume they would have a smaller capacity? How would you go about filling your CO2 bottle from a tank, i've never seen it done.

 

[smartecosse]

to fill a scuba tank most dive shops wil charge about £3. you should get a full days play out of a 300bar tank unless u have a very inefficient marker or use a case of paint a game! the air system is a lot more expensive than a bottom line and CO2 setup though. u can take it from marker to marker though as u upgrade
