I looked on clippard.com and found a great source of them but my question is are these still legal to use? per 2013 rules of course, rules can change i know that

Bimba is the most common source for cylinders...and they are giving all teams 3 cylinders as a PDV (see TIMS for code)...but for the free ones, I think I'd opt for larger than 3" stroke. If you find you have to buy some cylinders, small ones will be much cheaper than large. We got a 36" (stroke) cylinder one year, because if we ever needed that it would cost a fortune. (We call it "overkill" and almost used it in a net-deploying defensive manner last year).
