Supplied empty — your site fills it, and the brand on the side varies with what is in.\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAluminium is the honest starting point for high pressure air. It is heavier than carbon fibre and it holds less pressure, so you get fewer shots from the same physical size — but it costs a fraction of a carbon bottle, and if you are still working out whether HPA suits the way you play, that is the right trade to make first.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis one arrives as a complete assembly rather than a bare bottle: the first-stage regulator is already fitted, so what you add is a line to the gun and whatever regulator your engine wants downstream. Fill pressure is 3000psi, which is the standard aluminium rating and what every UK field is set up to deliver.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt ships empty, as every compressed air vessel must. Take it to the site and have it filled there the first time, and have them look at the date stamp while they are at it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size:16px;color:#1B3A6B;margin:18px 0 8px;\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 18px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"background:#1B3A6B;color:#fff;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:7px 12px;text-align:left;\"\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:7px 12px;text-align:left;\"\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"background:#f5f5f5;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:7px 12px;border:1px solid #eee;\"\u003eCapacity\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:7px 12px;border:1px solid #eee;\"\u003e48ci \/ 0.8L\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:7px 12px;border:1px solid #eee;\"\u003eMaximum fill pressure\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:7px 12px;border:1px solid #eee;\"\u003e3000psi\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"background:#f5f5f5;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:7px 12px;border:1px solid #eee;\"\u003eBottle material\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:7px 12px;border:1px solid #eee;\"\u003eAluminium\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:7px 12px;border:1px solid #eee;\"\u003eRegulator\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:7px 12px;border:1px solid #eee;\"\u003eFitted as supplied\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"background:#f5f5f5;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:7px 12px;border:1px solid #eee;\"\u003eThread\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:7px 12px;border:1px solid #eee;\"\u003e5\/8-18 UNF, the standard HPA bottle thread\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:7px 12px;border:1px solid #eee;\"\u003eSupplied\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:7px 12px;border:1px solid #eee;\"\u003eEmpty — pressurised vessels cannot be shipped filled\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"background:#f5f5f5;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:7px 12px;border:1px solid #eee;\"\u003eBranding\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:7px 12px;border:1px solid #eee;\"\u003eVaries with availability — see the FAQ\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"background:#fffbe6;border-left:4px solid #f0d060;padding:12px 16px;border-radius:0 6px 6px 0;margin:0 0 16px;font-size:13px;\"\u003e\n⚠ \u003cstrong\u003eHave it checked before the first fill.\u003c\/strong\u003e Every aluminium HPA bottle carries a stamped manufacture date and must be in test to be filled.

Bottles at this size and rating are largely the same vessel finished under different names, so we buy on availability rather than on the badge and sell it as what it is. The capacity, the pressure rating and the fitted regulator are what you are buying; the label on the side is not. If you need a specific brand for a team or a club order, ask before you buy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs a regulator included?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes — the first-stage regulator is already fitted to the bottle.
