Anyone crazy enough?

[RedEyes]

So besides paintballing theres also airguns for me as well. the thing is, crossman has 72ci/3kpsi steel tank made for one of their new airguns. the reg has out put of 2kpsi! anyone welling to try it on their mag?

"Note: Due to very high pressures do not use this tank for paintball guns. "

its $150 + sh and tax

just wanted to share with ya guys.

hmmm i have almost an entire spare mag, all i need is an ASA and hose and ill try it out. whats the worst that could happen? (famous last words)

cept its CO2 and last i checked that was a BAD idea to run thru a mag. what about a spyder???

[Rudz]

mags can go to 3k psi, vetter vids were at 2200 i believe, so go for it

tank says hpa or co2, id go with hpa, the 2k shouldnt be a problem at all, hell i would love just to get ahold of that reg

[RiotKing]

if i go ahead and buy this tank. should i lower my velocity or change any other settings? or just plug and play, with the 'Mag being as heavy duty as it is? i mean mine hasnt ever let me down. the only problem ive ever had is the solenoid in my hyperframe dying, but thats because it was old and had nothing to do with the actual valve/bolt and all that AGD happiness

[georgeyew]

Some one try it on a spare valve. I wish I had a spare valve to try on. The ADG valves are good for at least 3000 psi. Bet you can get some serious RT with a RT/XValve on that tank.

[custar]

I wonder if fittings and air lines capable of handling 2000 psi are also available.

your velocity should be fine.....i think. It should just make the reg recharge faster...and give more reactivity. You could always just fill it up to like 1200, try it, then 1500 and try it.

whatever you do, dont expect macroline to hold up to that pressure though.

[Hilltop Customs]

anyone notice where the fill nipple is on the rifles??? am I the only one who thinks that placement is just a little stupid?


Father "I thought I told you to never look down the barrel like that"
Son"but dad i accidently got dirt where the air goes in"
Father "give it here let me clean it out"
BAM
Son "dad are you ok???"

custar: hydrolic lines should be able to be purchased that can easily take that kind of pressure(not sure about normal steel braided though)

[BAZOOKA_Boy]

steel braid can handle that much, the fill station my local shop made with cascading pressure tanks is set up with steel hose, and those are 5000 pounders, so I know steel line can handle it!

I think there will be no ill effects to your gun at all, the only thing I see is you maybe having to adjust your velocity, but thats kinda a given! :P

If it was a CO2 tank its size would be measured in ounces not cubic inches. CO2 tanks are not (generally) regulated either.

I would not ever consider hooking a spyder up to 2k psi unless you are just looking to get hurt. To be honest, given that the manufacturer thought enough to put a warning on there its probably not a good idea for much of anything up to and including a mag.
I know the valve can handle it, but what is the asa rated to? How about the hose and fittings?

Just seems like a risk that no one should expose themselves to.

I wouldn't worry about it too much. Most hoses and air fittings are tested to 4 times rated pressure. Did you know the fill nipple for HPA systems everyone uses is generally rated for 4250psi? Also if you think about it, any gun made to run on co2 should be able to run at 1800psi safely all day. Considering that the burst disk on a tank is 1800, it is very possible for the gun to see and be operated at those pressures constantly. The only thing I wouldn't do is use macroline at these pressures. Most macroline and the push-to-connect fittings are already being used at higher than rated pressures at 800psi. The manufacturer put the warning there because many guns come with macroline and can't handle that kind of pressure.

The regulator looks like a PMI reg. It probably is a PMI reg with a harder spring pack in there. You can replicate this on a paintball PMI reg by adding a washer to the spring pack. I did this to mine and got a bump of 1600psi. I ended up taking it out because, I couldn't stop my xvalve from rapid firing.

You can run a mag on CO2 easily, just double reg it, or use a 24"+ remote hose to keep any liquid out. If they had anti siphon for this tank use that.
