Having dealt with compressors and dive cylinders for years in the dive industry this was all too apparent to me when I got back into air guns, and there is a general "ignorance" about all things pressure related which is a bit scary when reading some of the posts I see. An example of this is people being told to buy "adaptor blanking plugs" so they can seal off their charging whip to see how much pressure in in the cylinder - which can be upwards of 300bar being used on a 232 bar "well used" whipOriginally Posted by angrybear
While factually accurate, none of the components between the cylinder outlet & the rifle should ever experience anymore pressure than the rifle max fillbecause that's when the cyl valve gets shut.
That's why the DIN airgun charging kits have a 225bar swp rather than 300bar
A point that anyone thinking of buying a rifle that fills above 225bar needs to note.
I have no issue with differing opinions to mine, but it is another matter when the advice given is potentially dangerous
