Lightweight cylinder HW 100 carbine recommendation

Wondering if the biopod screw was not screwed in way too deep into the 8 hitting the cylinder, are there any other marks?

Never fitted to the rifle. Doesn't use a bipod anyway....

No marks at all on the cylinder; no date of manufacture, nothing ....pristine glossy black surface.

So the three of us who saw this know that the member it happened to is a skilled engineer of many years standing, and you are suspicious of the posts we have made?? The wall thickness at the point of fracture is less than 3mm.
Come and have a look if you don't believe us.

Merry Christmas.....

I can confirm this club member spent most of his working life in engineering from plant machinery to car mechanic. Ive entrusted him to work on my own HW100 with 100% satisfaction and Ive seen him work on several other club members guns successfully.

He didn't even get chance to fit it to his rifle.

Take it from me that this cylinder had not been abused in any way. The owner was literally just giving it it's initial charge when the incident occured. He is not some novice who doesn't have a clue how to use highly compressed air, and the fact that this is being implied is quite frankly offensive.

So from the three statements above, and I can get many, many more to substantiate these facts ,can we stop trying to blame this cylinder failure on operator error?

Quite frankly i find it offensive that you are implying anyone with questions,ect,should keep there thoughts to themselves an not express an idea,be it right or wrong,

I don't think that is what he meant, simply to stop 'implying' the end user with the tube that split was a novice or that he did anything wrong when charging the cylinder

Nail on head!

If you take offense so easily after failing to read the post from I. J. when he stated "stop trying to imply operator error" perhaps you should withdraw from this conversation.

I see, so i can`t take offence but others can,an maybe you need to re-read some of the post, so please don`t give me double standards

Is his hearing alright? Must have been loud. ��
Permanent damage is something for the insurance/litigation...

From what I can gather - and this is only SECOND HAND INFORMATION - dont shoot the messenger (again), he says it was 'bl**dy loud and his fingers tingled'. Now I personally dont know how loud 'bl**dy loud was because I was not present at the time with a decibel meter.

I certainly hope that any "double standards" will not apply if another one fails.

Just thinking about this makes me shudder, lucky nothing serious happened to him
