I 've never played in sac, even though I've been in Davis for 2 years. Been looking for some people to go out and play with around sac though. When I want to play I have to drive back to the bay.

Fixed.

Same here.
Got outta the Army & thought paintballin' would be a good way to keep my killing skills sharp.
After renting/borrowing some gear, my friend took my out by van Vleck's ranch for some capture the flag type game.

Wow, was I disappointed in the caliber/character of phaggy paintballers.
Cheating, crying, whining like I've never witnessed.

I ended up shooting everyone on my team and left.

Now, I get drunk & scare my neighbors.

tanks have a date on them that they are "certified" until. Depending on what type of tank (CO2, nitrogen) you can get it pressure tested and re-certed or most likely just buy a new tank.

If you tank is out of date, most places won't refill you.

they will do a visual inspection but they cannot hydro test.

The best place to get a tank hydo tested is at a fire extinguisher store. There are a few around town and used to take my CO2 takes (when I was using CO2 for paintball) for testing and labeling.

IIRC it was a few bucks to get it done.
