what to go for!! looking 2 get Bottles-any Advice

[JayH-StealthMan]

ok.. so i got my marker sorted.. tippyA5 standard trig, with Flatty Barrel, Cycl feed, AR15 slide stock, + pots..hopper, tac vest, body armour, mask, gloves and so on..
oh.. and a gear bag lol..
but... i am trying to read and learn about Air... bottles..flex hose, and so on.. whats this about BirthDate? and test cert needed..
i am going to find a local dive shop to charge me botts to start with.. but really.. my question is this..

what is the most reliable.. bottle to use. as i see many problems with the posts on here.. and i can not make up my mind.. as i plan to buy brand new.. so the cert is valid for max amount of time..

also..
just so you know..

TippyA5.. will be fitted with Flex Hose.. "still to get".. what to recomend..?? or are they all as good as the other brands!! so not sure what else i will need..to config the rig. Do bottles come with the gauges fitted..or just a nipple type valve? i dont know.. do i need an adusting valve..to set up the psi right..and so on.. not sure..sorry..complete and utter nubie here...

so any advice would be fabbo...

i would recomend a 1.5 liter fiber wraped bottle because tippys use a lot of air and this will last you abit longer but i dont think they sell them any more i have one and there brill i use it on my marq and can get a case of paint off 1 fill

hi mate i use a luxfer 1.1 fibrewrap 4.5k air bottle and its the dogs imo could do with a better reg but still.

2000 shots from one box is GOOD haha, mate! 4-5 bottles?! thats rediculous! your local site should fill your bottle but 4-5 bottles is just stupid dude. i have ONE and its fine..

Jay,

4 or 5 bottles is silly mate just one will do, just keep your eyes out in the classified for a bottle sold by a member with a lot of history who has people to back him up and has plenty of years left on the test date.

Also you could see on getting a dive bottle to fill off but this is for the future only if you cant find a local dive shop

hi there.. yeah one would be enough, i know.

but 4 -5 bottles..
as in.. a couple for me! and some back up ones for my mates. you know how it is.. they wanna play, then some turn up with no air and then we end up having a waste of a mornings fun. as they just sit n watch or borrow a gun but that then leaves someone else without.

so in the long run, i do want to get 4 - 5 bottles, hence the "OP" dude.

but cheers for the info

ok ok, got it sorted as I have 2 Fiber Bottles now. so if that is not enough! I may as well take a paint brush lol.
as for my mates, they can sort themselves out.
