He's been working on it for age's, mainly because he knows the moment its NZ legal paintballshop, guncity and any other trademe bozo will start selling it for less and he won't be able to recoup the cost of all the destruction tests (he had to supply the government with several tanks for them to blow up).
Show your support for someone who is actually trying to improve paintball in NZ, buy from Kiwipaintball. If you buy from someone undercutting his costs then he may not bother next time and paintball in NZ will not get any new stuff.
It'll get about 600 shots for those wondering. It's good to finally have a budget HPA option in NZ :)
I agree with the OP - we should get these from kiwipaintball and help him recover his costs - he's done a great thing for NZ ball.
There are two other people who are having similer tanks put through testing etc at the moment.
any more info? A ~47ci 4500 carbon fibre would be good.
unfortunately sounds like someone is wasting their time then :/

Wondernz on the other site already has a similar 47ci tank legal doesn't he? (apart from the 30ci already here) Just waiting on supply (Or so I've been told)
yeah thats the case, personally a legal 48cuin is a good thing, especially for rec players.. yes Vigil a fibre 48 4.5k would be nice, but in reality there wouldnot be the market for it here in NZ, at least with steel 48 cu in tanks the feild could use them.. :)

So we have NZHPA, Kiwi paintball and 2 others who are looking at getting similar products in... That can only mean good things for paintball.
It definitely means cheaper setup costs. At $165 for a tank, $325 for a new Blitz, $25 for a primo and $58 for a proto mask you can get an HPA electro speedball setup that will keep up with your fingers on semi only for $573 . Bargain. Next would be a new hopper but the basics are a great deal imo.
We have had legal 47,s for about 8 weeks now. thats actually labbed not i will lab it one day or when osh catches up to me. next shipment is due in on the 27th of may
price is $165 retail and includes the new NZHPA short blue reg .if you have a club go attach it to or get your current field to convert to a nzhpa field and you can get them even cheaper
these cylinders are made for NZ, to current NZ standards ( not certed under some grandpar clause) and by a manufacture with a very good track record and have never produced any dud or recalled batches/models like the recently cautioned catalina and luxfer cylinders.
they also come with all the advantages of our other cylinders.
free filling, cheap or free servicing (we are the only place in NZ that services these things), cheap parts that are actually available in NZ.
We are also the only one importing the paintball compressors and sell field conversion kits to make hpa work in NZ not just sell cylinders to suck off a already sub standard air supply.
we have a selection of CF tanks we are looking to cert next but a new, much cheaper 68cu will most likely come before a 45cu

most of the sales are commercial so there is no big flashy website i can let the public into sorry

Only 8 weeks, and you were already out of stock? Nice :) 1st shipment must have sold like hot cakes . Just goes to show how many people want to be off CO2.
At least you have a website. If you don't have a website, you don't exist :p
Those look like some good tanks, the 30ci fibre tank would be great for pump players.
yer there is also .3l CF tanks too.. they are about the size of a 7oz co2 bottle.
that shipment had a home before i even finished testing them
Can tanks be ordered individually off you? At some stage I might get one of the smaller CF ones.
iv got to get them in lots of 30 but i can ask the factory when they are doing a run and tag 2 or3 onto it. just might take 12 months.
iv setup a facebook page for the park that i will put all the new arrivals and latest products on.
there is also some of our standard products on the notes tab

just out of interest as the grape vine tells it, there was my cylinder and 2 others that were meant to be getting certed (in the process or the finishing stages) as of about 2 or 3 months ago or a few weeks before i started mine. thus far latest erma register (last week) only shows my cylinder started, in process and finished and no others even started.

I've been keeping an eye on kiwi paintball's site. the coming son (or 'comming soon' as it said) date, on their 47, has changed from late April to late May, and now is saying '14th June'.
haha you do realise the first date on those was 2006
i have 47 cu 3000psi NZ legal cylinders in stock
if you want one email chris@aefun.co.nz
on another + side because we are doing field air gear in large volumes we have also got the parts price down to about 50% of the other systems

I'm a little confused as to what the differences in the regulators are. I've noticed you have a few different cylinders with different types for sale on trademe, wonder. Can you let me know which one is 'best' or if they're all pretty similar
sorry dont come on here much.
the nzhpa regs are made for commercial use, are contract manufactured for NZ and come in in lots of 100+ thus are cheaper and easier to get parts for. they are also used all around NZ by fields so if they have a bug because of the way and amount they are used on fields it is found and fixed before you even come across it. also because they are so cheap when it comes to a warranty (not that we have ever had one back) handing out a replacement is not a prob. also because there is hundreds of them in commercial use consumable parts like fill nipples also come in boxes of 100 and are dirt cheap,
the down side, they are in high demand and because i only have 70 per month supply quota from the factory there is a 8-10 week wait for any more than what is kicking around for sale at field shops.
as for the rest. some of them are nice regs and may be made to do a different job that may or may not suit you better, come in in 10's not 100's so are a lot more expensive and less common in NZ and thus harder and more expensive to get parts for and because of other countries policy of dumping dodgy stock on a market as far away from them as poss, if they do turn up cheap in NZ its because they are dodgy and there will be the std. next to no warranty.
you also have the factor of bonnets are not interchangeable between brands so if you drop a uncommon brand reg you have a 6 week wait and more $ than a new reg for a new bonnet.
so personally unless you are looking at something like a HP myth or a smartparts reg that bolts onto your gun i would go for the nzhpa reg as most of the rest are the same anyway just more expensive and harder to get parts for
Also remember,
1. the consumer guarantees act is NZ law, and if you get a reg for personal use in NZ and it is faulty etc, you may have recourse for replacement etc if sold by a kiwi company or individual.
2.Wonder wants you to buy his regs. (which is fair enough)
"the consumer guarantees act is NZ law" dead right les, the problem being those that like to make up a raft of misuse excuses, long wait times for parts and down right dodgy people where its more expensive to chase them than buy a new one.
kind of reminds me of returning stuff to dse, my melco ink system that didnt work and cost me more to get the refund then the dam thing cost and my halvey normans printer that took 6 weeks to not get fixed and replaced with another one that also didnt work. funny enough same type of things piss me off with paintball stuff too.
kind of the down side of being the lil guy on a chunk of ground at the bottom of the planet.
LOL yeah its like trying to get the "$100 cash back" offer on some electronic gear...jump thru the hoops...
congrats to a certin shop in auckalnd . the daaa award goes to you
we now have our first knock off cylinders in NZ
just a reminder to all . the test reports used to get and used in conjunction with lab numbers after 2111 are copy righted.
meaning if you import cylinders and you dont have the rights to these reports you have just copied and used copyrighted material.
meaning your cylinders are not only still not legal as they do not hold a valid lab and they are also in breach of copyright. (this applies to lab numbers after 2111 only)
steer clear of these cylinders. these cylinders are the reason new cylinders have taken so long to get to NZ.
curently the only legal alloy hpa cylinders are AEFUN, NZHPA and KIWI brand ones
edge and unbranded are not legal and may be knock offs
