Well, technically, no high pressure tank is safe!

For some reason I dont trust HPA that much, I always fear like the reg is going to blow off any second if I hit the tank, its gonna pop when I get it filled, ect ect..
I'm just paranoid..

if you don't like the idea of carbon shrapnel ripping through your torso, try this:
Blow really hard into your asa. You'll save a fortune and your gun will be lighter too!

LOL Sam

*edit*

Hoppy, I disagree w/ you bud... There's no reason to FEAR it, and most things for that matter, but there is a reason to be Weary...

Think about it, do you wanna be scared out of your wits running around w/ one of those things? Won't be pretty...

anyway, wasn't it the booster that blew? i dont remember the story clearly

I was under the impression that all HPA systems were tested to double their rated pressure? (i.e., a 3k is rated to 6k, a 4.5k is rated to 9k) Can someone clarify this for me?

Also, in time, you will learn NOT to tell you parents things that will cause them to worry and thereby limit your scope of allowable activities. The next time you want to make conversation with your folks, talk about sports or something...
