HPA is regulated, for the most part under 900psi... I thought that CO2 went to higher pressures than 900psi? are you sure the story is true:confused: was the X-chamber homade;) ?...lol

He is kidding. An expansion chamber does nothing for HPA/Nitrogen. Heck it doesn't doa lot for CO2 unless it is in Cold weather.

Right... Might I suggest finding a new store. One a little better informed.

Load of bull. If anything you are getting less pressure from the itro than the Co2.
Lots of people here use X-chambers as gas through forgrips. They probably just wanted to sell you another grip.

It only explodes if you forget to install the kiniptin pin.

Maybe the State funding for kiniptin pins was cut and they didn’t get issued any? ;) I know when I was in the service whenever we sent privates to go get a few of them from supply, they were always out too. Funny how that works.

Don't forget the bolt magnet mounts, and make sure the valve bushing mounting screws are tight. While your at it, make sure you have enought blinker fluid in your car, you wouldn't want to get into an accident on the way to the PB field now would you.

Heh heh, that's brilliant! LOL.

I heard one time that an expansion chamber ripped out a kids heart and showed it to him while it was still beating.

Well, the next time you go out, you will die :) TAKE IT OFF NOW!!! IT MIGHT EXPLODE <u>EVEN WITHOUT AIR!! :(</u>

Dude, you're screwed. It might explode, even without air?!? An expansion chamber in a vaccum is GUARENTEED to explode!! And if you're not in a vacuum, then there's ALWAYS air... man, the epitome of a catch-22/lose-lose situation!! :p

Either that expansion chamber was huge or those were some wussy kids. How do three people get hit and die when one expansion chamber explodes? Maybe it had been training for years so it could have all the accuracy of a cocker with an 18" barrel! Maybe it was all a conspiracy put together by the x-chamber so that stupid people would forever fear them while using HPA! Yeah, that almost sounds logical.:D ;) :p

I don't think it would "explode" (not that it would) just burst open at the weakest point, its not a frag grenade.

Sir_Brass

NO!! It's an elaborate trick. The oracle told me so! :p

See, there IS no x-chamber :p :D.

My company, Smith, Urial, Cover Klass & Associates, or SUCKA for short, is doing an extensive medical trial on the dangers of exploding expansion chambers. Please send all your expansion chambers to me and we will make sure they are put where they can never harm anyone again.

my thinking is that the reason 3 of them died, which sounds like an awful lot, is because all 3 were huddled over the chamber as they tried to drill a hole in the side of it. idiots.

They should get a Darwin Award :rolleyes:. I'll give the person who drills a hole in a filled hpa tank a shiny penny.

Wouldn't matter. The air would just leak out as the drill bit entered the chamber. Co2 simply doesn't have the pressure required to "burst" anything, other than a seal. An HPA tank would be regged down to 800-850psi, results would be the same.

I shall repeat: HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHahahahahaaaa! That's a good one:D
