It's a pneumatic storage tank, it is listed.


But I don't know how you would legally use a paintball tank without modifying the pin valve and we all know no modification are allowed on pneumatic components, to bad. I wonder if we could get one of these manufacturers to make a tank for us that would easily work with the fittings we are required to use. It could be a wonderful light and safe alternative.
