I just got this email from John Ripkey, and will post it:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

We have the regulator and bottle at our location. The regulator was sold
separately.

PSI has been manufacturing regulators for over 10 years for most major
wholesalers in paintball. PSI manufacturers to ASTM and ANSI standards.
Every regulator manufactured is tested prior to shipment.

The regulator stem was damaged from some unknown force which fractured or
weakened the regulator stem.

The failure was not due to workmanship or metallurgical defects. The story
as conveyed alludes to a manufacturing defect.

This simply is not true.

This is an unfortunate occurrence and we are happy no one was injured.



Sincerely,



John R Ripkey
President
