Dual test basic air bottle

[superbully]

Looking for an air system along the lines of the nitro duck with preset reg, that retails for around 90 notes, except that the nitro duck one is only HSE. Would likea dual test one. Anyone know of a product like this ie: cheap air bottle and reg, that is dual test??

dual test bottles exist in theory not in practice

what happens is if the bottle is used in the uk it is classed as a
hse tested bottle & the dot test is invalid so it is nolonger dual test.
If the bottle is used abroad it is classed as a dot bottle &
the hse test is invalid ,so if you have a dual test bottle ,goabroad,
play paintball , return to the uk said bottle is now dot only
and is now illegal in the uk.

I know this is stupid but unfortunately this is the law.

That is not true as a dual test bottle it is certified as either, so if you buy one here and use it in the US for the first 2 years of its life then move back to the uk you can use it here because the bottle has been certified as such until it's retest date. The bottle is no longer dual test when it is retested, it is then that it must be one or the other.
If it was as you say then the bottle would not get HSE certification, because it would be impossible to police.
As far as i'm aware it's only the angel air bottle that are currently dual test.

sorry pheonix, they do exist in practice. They are dual test when they leave the factory and like warrior says, you have to choose one or the other when the date comes around to retest.
Warrior - I was afraid that you were going to say the angel air - that's the only one I knew of too.
Thought I had seen one along the lines of a cheaper one like the nitro duck one though. Just a no frills bottle and fixed reg. thought someone may know if some may be coming on the market soon, now that nitro duck is gonna get a good chunk of the market with it's simple but effective air system. Dual test one like that would be a very good seller I reckon.....
