We can use CE (Pi marked) or HSE, not DOT.

Let me repeat what Skaffen said:

You can use HSE and Pi in the UK. You CANNOT use DOT bottles.

you can separate the bottle from the reg quite easily.

you CANT use dot bottles in the uk.....they are not tested to uk standards therefor are not legal for use in the uk.

i know someone is gonna come on and say that its ok to use them as long as you fill them yourself........which im not 100% sure about. but my way of looking at it is that if that was ok then we would test to dot standards not hse/pi. at the end of the day a lawyer would make mince meat of anyone that had caused an injury or death due to using a dot bottle.....and once that happens to would to irreprable damage to paintballs safty record.....is it really worth risking the safety of yourself and EVERYONE around you as well as the reputation of a sport which is already struggling to become mainstream for the sake of paying the propper price for a bottle!

*rant mode off*
