If you know anything about me you will know that im paranoid about things under pressure. Is that little circle okay in a HPA tank? It isnt like some kind of end block of steel that wasnt covered by the fiber or something that will shoot into me someday ... right?

They are just trying to make you feel safe. But really, that is a really bad sign. One day its gonna shoot out and go right through your sholder, and you will bleed to death.


Oh yea, Have a nice day! :)

It's not a stupid question to ask. I would take lots of precautions with a hpa tank because of the high pressure it's under. But as long as you hydro it, don't throw it a concreet, and don't attempt to "mill" it with your dremmel you should be fine. If it's a new tank then it would have to be safe, they have to go through tests before they are sold.

Me and him (err, well, "him and I" :rolleyes: ) have the same problem... lack of time and $$. We both do crew, which sucks every available minute out of our life during the spring. We're hoping to get out there in about 2 weeks, though... woo WOO!!

put a patch of duct tape on it and then get a good neophrene cover and you should be okay. :)
