For Fields
If you are looking to cut costs and make life easier these are the way to do it.
Costing as little as 2.1 cents to fill in comparison to a co2 of the same volume that costs around 90 cents to fill, these bottles will pay for themselves in no time at all.
With the pressure gauge you can tell at any time how much gas is left, eliminating unnecessary refilling and players unexpectedly running out of air.
With the fill nipple the bottles can be filled without having to be removed off the guns, making it easy to refill at any time even part way through a game
One of these bottles can be filled in less time than it takes to fit a co2 bottle to the filler and can be filled off manifolds fitted to the gun racks saving labor costs
unlike co2 they are almost idiot proof to fill saving you untold amounts on training
Air can be compressed on site doing away with the need to buy in gas and eliminating the danger of running out
No LVS so a lot less huge welts on your customers, game stoppages and crying kids
Air is the environmentally friendly choice so just think of the green factor that will be attached to your field with the use of these bottles
Myths about this system
"I use 20oz co2 bottles and i still run out, you cant tell me these bottles are big enough" First remember why you use 20 oz bottles. its so you don't have to take them off and refill them all the time isn't it..These bottles don't have to be taken off at all ever!! and if a game lasts more than say the 350 shots you put in them to start with they can be filled off the storage at your fill shed or off a dive bottle on the field in seconds at any time with no more inconvenience than having to fill up with paint. before i moved to this system myself i would have at least 1 gun run out of gas every game on average now it never happens.
"I'm told i need to convert my guns so they can run on air" bollicks in fact they will run better on air than they will on co2 just the way they are
these bottles are to small to be of any real use on a field. ballshit!! this line keeps getting spread mostly by those that are to near sighted or to tight to upgrade but in reality don't want to be left behind. my advice leave them behind they deserve it. there is only 1 field in NZ that i know of where these bottles would not easily work and it is over 80ha of natural bush. not really your typical hire field is it

AIR SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS
A game using 4000 rounds will require approx 30 cubic feet of air
this is approximately what you can get out of a 10l scuba tank and still have a OK pressure or 10 minutes running for a 3 cfm compressor
A game using 20,000 rounds will require approx 150 cubic feet of air
this will take 5 scuba tanks one at a time or 3 on a cascade.this is also 50 minutes running for a 3 cfm compressor
in conclusion to our testing on air volume it was found the need for large 9+cfm compressors was nothing more than a myth, the average field can be run off less than 2cfm @ 3000psi
