pressure ?

[POS]

I have a paintball tank like this one :





Anyone know what pressure it can take ? I was planning to use it in a pneumatic gun wit a regulator, if I can find one somewhere.

If it were me I’d just go to my local paintball shop and ask them.
If that’s not an option for you than try googleing it.

Well, it comes filled at 800-900 PSI... and I think they have a burstdisk on them that'll fail at 1100 psi (or something like that). So I think that's your answear.

[POS]

so 500 to 600 psi wouldn't be a problem. Thanx

How on earth do you people reach those kinds of pressures? Do you make your own pumps because if you do I would really like to see plans for such a pump.

There is a wild thing, Very rare called Co2 Joking. Some people may use Co2 or Brian the Brain invented a high pressure pump,it can go up to 30BARS I think. There is really no need to go to pressures that high.

[experament-u2]

unless you are causing some serious damage

while we are on the topic of paint ball tanks how much would it cost to buy a empty 12oz tank

im looking to buy one

soz for the highjack POS

[MrCrowley]

Dunno $20AUS? A full one will cost you about $30AUS I would say.

I have built a high pressure pump. It is actually very easy. All the parts are readily available.

i agree and i could most likely get most of the parts and the ones i cant get i can order online( you said if we could get the parts then you would tell us how to build it

[Hawkeye]

I'll put it in words and post it in the appropriate section.
