There is usually and objective or many objectives to complete a game. It is very important for parents to understand what their kids are getting into and to treat all equipment that expels a projectile as if it were a real firearm.
The safety should be engaged, magazines should be out and breach clear when not in an active game. Barrel blocking devices are also required and must attach to the replica to prevent accidentally expelling a projectile. Full face masks are required during play. Eye protection must be rated for Paintball and Airsoft play and sealed to the face to prevent entry to the eye area.. Your nose, cheeks, mouth and ears must be covered by Airsoft approved mesh or mask or a baklava that cannot be removed during play.
White cake mix according to directions. Half of the white cake mix will be used for the green or pink. I used green since it was a boys birthday party. Use two of the egg yolks leftover from the white cake mix and one more whole egg for the chocolate cake mix. Save money and buy one chocolate frosting and two white frosting from the dollar store.
Use a frosting bag with the flower tip. Put all three colors in the bag next to each other so they all come out at the same time. This was a fun activity for myself and the kids. Let them be part of making their special day happen.
DOT VS. This ensures safety standards for all when it comes to manufacture and use of cylinders. All of these tanks are still subject to Hydro Testing every 5 years and all tanks have a year lifespan. Be aware of tanks made by Inocom, Luxfer and Carelton that require a 3-year hydro test and year lifespan.
Be an ambassador for our sport. Make sure your gear is compliant with United States Standards. Drop your tank at any Velocity Paintball location for hydrotest.
Out of state? No problem. Instead of searching and reading countless forums, grab your paintball tank and keep on reading. In a few short minutes you will know exactly when your paintball tank needs to be re-hydrotested! First, a bit about paintball tanks and hydro testing.
Paintball high pressure air tanks will need to be hydro tested every 3 or 5 years depending on the bottle manufacturer. The date of manufacture will be marked on the tank, and it is your responsibility to have it re-hydrotested when your tank expires. Hydro testing involves pressurizing your tank to a level much higher than the tank is rated to handle.
If your tank is able to withstand the pressure without failing, it will pass the test and be valid for another 3 to 5 years. If it fails, you will need to purchase a new tank. If your tank passes the hydro test, the testing facility will apply a new month and year tag to your tank, usually protected under a layer of epoxy, in order to demonstrate that the tank has been tested, and has passed.
This new date stamp will act as the new point of reference to be used for testing the tank again after the next 3 or 5 year period has expired. It is illegal to fill a tank that is out of hydro-date, so if your local field refuses to fill your out-of-date tank, do not give them a hard time - the penalties for filling an expired tank are severe, and not only will the field be held responsible, but so will the individual who fills the tank.
I just read your articles on 'does my tank need hydro testing? Very cool. Most tanks made within the last decade need to be retested every 5 years. Additionally, most of them have a life of 15 years at which point they need to be discarded. So if you buy a tank that was manufactured in March of , you will need to have it tested for the first time before March And then if you want to keep using it, every 5 years afterwards.
Once it reaches its 15th birthday in March though, you need to dispose of the tank. Sorry, there are no sweet 16 birthdays for paintball tanks. If you know the manufacturing date of your tank and know it needs to be tested again within 5 years. But how do you find this information? Well it's located on the outside of the tank. While most tanks have to be tested 5 years, some need to be tested more frequently so always confirm.
It's usually really easy to find the hydrotest date on a CO2 tank because it is usually written in plain English. This simply means you would need to hydrotest your tank before June Steel tanks are really easy to find the hydrotest date too because just like with CO2 tanks, they usually have it written out in plain English. They also have their birthday at the top, but it's usually written with 2 digits for the month and 2 digits for the year.
For whatever reason, carbon fiber tanks are not quite as straightforward as CO2 tanks or steel tanks. Just add 5 years to this date, in this example it would be huge , and that's when you need to get it hydrotested again by.
If you have a paintball tank that has previously been hydrotested though, then you no longer need to use the tanks original birthday or hydrotest date. Now you need to go by the date it was last inspected and tested. How do you find this? It's really simple. After a tank gets hydrotested, the company that tested it will fasten some type of plate plate or label to the tank with all the necessary information.
It will show when it was re-hydrotested so you just have hydrotest it again 5 years after this date. This does not include any potential additional shipping costs.
Personally, I would ask your local paintball store who they recommend using for a hydrotest. You can find a lot of great options online to use for a hydrotest, but I prefer not having to mail my tank to get it hydrotested.
Secondly, I'd be concerned about damaging the regulator in shipping. It's just safer and easier to drop everything off at a local store if possible. I hate to say it because it sounds wasteful, but lots of paintball tanks are not worth hydrotesting. What tanks are worth hydrotesting? Well it depends on what kind of tank you have, how old it is and what kind of shape it is in. In general though, if you have a CO2 tank or a HPA steel tank, I would probably recommend you look into just buying a new tank.
