You are making a very big assumption that the postal clerk will know enough about paintball to understand that they are safe.

Unfortunetly, I've heard the exact opposite from postal clerks. They tell me that you can not mail any "pressurized container". Ie hairspray, 12grams, etc.. The only way to ensure that its 100% empty is for the valve to be completely removed. Guages, or screwed on ASAs, or removed burst disks are not enough for many postal workers.

Which is always the big headache when dealing with the USPS. Every postoffice seems to interpret the rules differently. For example, the my local post office is super strict. So I now drive 2 towns over to a very liberal post office.
