I will repeat, if a bottle fails at 180 bar..... how much better off do you think you are than 200 bar or 232 bar.

Your logic is "good kit well maintained".

It is really going to make absolutely FA difference ifvyou happen ti be holding it should it fail.

More people have accidentally shot themselves ... or others... with air rifles than have been injured by bottle failures.

IJ is wrong on that score.

I have an extremly healthy respect for high pressure air. As it should be but being sensible is the key thing.
