I bought it, it is a regulator, make sure when you buy it from the store because they will give you a free 9 oz filled co2 tank, on top of the empty one it comes with one filled it comes with 1 empty tank and the give you a .
i don't think the regulator could explode due to the burst disk considering the burst disk is on the tank(in case of over filling or heat spikes).
i got it for my portable vortex gun i'm currently working on.
one thing to keep in mind, is that after a couple of times using it, the regulator had a slow leak as soon as you screw in the cylinder, it wont leak out of the system but through the regulator. for example, if you had it hooked up to a air chamber even if the regulator is off the co2 will slowly leak into the chamber.
this is due to the regulator spring inside, but can be fixed easily with a new spring or putting something behind the spring to put more tension on it, just watch the gauge for a the meter to keep running after you turn the regulator down best thing to do is unscrew bottle if this is happening its not something you should worry about just keep it in mind. also this may have just been a unique experince for me idk its a new product
20 oz paintball tanks are like 14 dollars, and 4 of those is about 5 lb worth of co2 and can be refilled at paintball stores and fields(sometimes for free) and sporting good stores like sports authority or dicks sporting goods
