    CO2 tanks can safely handle 1750psi, but are not rated for any more than that.
    Except for the Automag in front, its usually the man behind the equipment that counts.

      That sounds like a lot less than the 2.8k psi this dude said he's filling his tank to.

        I use 12 grams and try to pocket them when done. Some fields have discouraged 12 grams (if they don't normally do stock class) because of a concern about them being discarded on field and causing injury. Its easier to screw on a 3.5 than to convince them I'll not throw them out.

          Any CO2 tank filled to 3k should be hydro tested prior to next fill to see if it still passes. It could easily be overstressed and weakened.

            Ok, i knew it was under 2k. I also agree that the concern shouldn't be your own safety when using that as an HPA tank, it should be those around you, since they didn't decide to play with a co2 tank acting as an hpa tank.
