Good price.  Are they DOT approved?  If not, are they legal to use in the US?

No, CE, but that just means like a dive shop won't fill it. Perfectly legal for everything.

DOT certification doubles the price of a tank. If you have a good compressor then you do not need DOT.

I've owned the same one for about 5 years, now. No issues. Can't remember how much I paid for mine, but at a little over $300 shipped, it's a great price for a big tank!

Same here. It's a great addition and has made it much more enjoyable.

About a year ago I was on AliExpress and the 9L with boots was $197. Never seen it that low since.
My mistake, I only bought 1, should have bought 5.

I don't understand why people need these air tanks.

Maybe if you don't have a compressor and fill at a scuba shop.
Or you will spend the next week in the woods.

If you want to kill your compressor, just fill a 9L tank 10 times and don't take too many breaks.

Because I work on my guns during most people's sleep time and I don't want to disturb my neighbors running my compressor at 3AM.

The other point is that you really only fill it once. After that you just top it off. So there would never be a situation where you, stupidly, fill multiple 9L tanks with limited cooldown.

Lately I have been using a couple of my tanks for tethering. I can leave a gun tethered and set up at the shooting window for days if I want. Just turn the valve off until I'm ready to shoot some more.
In most cases I only have to fill the tanks to 3k so it's not a major strain on a compressor. When the tank gets down to 2k I'll use it for a 2k max fill gun. Even my 30 minute scba tank lasts a long time tethered to a 3k or regulated gun.
A tank in the field, although I don't shoot away from home much, is maybe even handier than the 12v compressors that you need to leave the engine on your vehicle running to use.

Friend has the battery powered compressor. My opinion is that it is a waste of money. You can fill 2 or 3 guns and it needs recharging.

I have 2 3L tanks i normally use for tethering off site. But today I'm meeting a guy at Diablo Rod & Gun in Concord, CA. A  coworker is coming too. So the plan is to put a bunch of rounds down range. So today my big az 90L backpack will have 2 6.8l tanks. Only problem, the regulated tanks are the 3L so no tethering until 3000psi. Tanks are at 4000psi, ill top them up to 4500.

Probably good for a few thousand rounds :-)

I don't understand why people need these air tanks.

My wife (and other non shooters) don't understand why I own multiple guns of the same caliber. This also applies to knives and my r/c hobbies.
Point is: it's not a need, it's a want!

[bear air]

I found having a tank made the hobby more enjoyable. Instead of having to hand pump or wait for the gun to fill by compressor. I can connect a hose between the two open a valve , depressurize and continue shooting. And when it comes to my smaller caliber guns I could shoot for days. I like it so much I added a 6.8 liter bottle at Christmas last year.

I am not used to the metric (liter) tank designations so I would like to confirm what I have, because I want to order a couple of boots. 

I own 2 x 66cu.ft (45 min) tanks, and 1 x 44cu.ft (30 min) tank.  I believe what I have equates to: 2 x 6.8L and 1 x 4.7L tanks.  Is this correct?

Seems about right.
