more than 3000psi setup for my AF AR?
I’m seriously looking for more than the standard 3000psi with the Air Force PCP AR’s.
I’m sure, like myself many of you have thought of this.
Those of you that have (or can), would be of a much smaller group. The ones I AM looking for. What do you have to offer to set this AF AR up with?
If 5000psi could be made for my ( any ) AF AR? High flow valve and threading as Air Force.
💡 Needed: Small\similar to size of AF’s tanks in around 4000, 4800, or 5000psi? What is there? Double tank?

Let’s get an order in for a similar setup. âž¡

lol 😆 😆 🙄
My ribs really hurt now!!!!!
That brings me too- What am I not knowing about this combustion stuff? Let’s say a 4500 psi tank with 4500 psi of burst to launch the bullet (projectile that is NOT of Diabolo shape) out. Just the same as our AF tanks or any other gun tank. Goal being to go from less than 100 fathoms (an air rifle) to several hundred. Firearms do thousands! Back to- I’m trying to get flat shots at around 2000 fps with a bout a 44 grain bullet and hold fpe impact.
I have designed an airgun bullet (will work connected to a shell with powder also -of course-) that will as intended; but I want e
So get yourself a tank and build a valve and show us the velocity.
Good luck.
keep us posted
Thank you Jerry for that angle of thought.

No concern or thoughts about noiZe\sound levels. Looking into result of .223 result pushing to for an air rifle. âž¡
Can you imagine a tank dump… 😯
Jerry have you hooked a rifle up to a HPA 4500 psi tank? I’m going to guess that’s you high power rig. 😕 😀
Only the kid’s paintball guns…
Oh, I routinely hook my guns to a 4500 psi tank but generally only pressurize the gun to over 3000psi if I’m looking for consistent but LOWER velocity shots. Now, these guns are designed to run at easily obtained and sustained pressures. They are tested well above the normaly used working pressures and could qualify for a normal working pressure far higher than what produces the most power. The only real reason to use higher than optimum power pressure is to control velocity, noise and power without making multiple adjustments. I can set the regulator to 3400psi and get a short , sharp firing cycle for a bunch of shots at a quieter although lower power level than I could get at 3100 or 2900psi. Or I can turn the pre-load up and run the hammer travel to max and dial the pressure to 3600 and double the power without any safety concern. While I can do that, I find that 99% of the time, I don’t need a max performance shot and the noise etc. to do what I want.
A little oil+a lot of pressure = BOOOM! (And one more Darwin Award 😯 )
Huh? :17
We (they’re made) have tanks that hold that. A maximum could be 5000, but over 3800 would make very flat impressive shots.
I guess I’m not glad that SERIOUS SHOOTERS take joking to “high power” air rifles so quickly… âž¡
Serious thought, serious question = serious results
There are those of you here; Feed back if serious. Please

get yourself an Airhog 2,000 psi regulated system as it is 4500psi tank and works well

Seriously, higher pressure may not get you any better shooting results unless you can find a way to manage that air pressure.
Anytime you mention high pressure (especially beyond what we’ve become comfortable with) you’re going to get relayed warnings about all manner of things that people have heard so often they think they are facts!
Obviously, 15000 psi of normal air at room temp won’t ignite anything but you’ll get lot’s of reminders about diesels…
The idea that tanks certified and fully capable of holding 5000 or more psi exist and can be used safely is foreign to many as well.
Part of this is reasonable: We often(OK sometimes) see a newbie who thinks using cheap 5000psi pure oxygen he can steal from work is a good idea. Of course it’s a disasterous idea but the warnings get mixed up with other mis-information and ignorance of the way things really work…
I would tell you that to use really high pressures above 3000ish, you are deep into diminishing returns. A regulator can turn that pressure down and get you a lot more shots but to get more power and flatter shooting, you need to handle that air far better than current designs and you will be hitting sonic flow limits and the design challenge will be huge. To get past the mildly supersonic velocities the current designs can support, you need some extraordinary flow dynamics or you need the air to achieve local temperatures in the breech area that really could sustain more than a touch of combustion. That’s possible but a big engineering task. If you can get local temps high enough to sustain more than a mildly SS flow/wave velocity, I would not be concerned about explosion, you just don’t have a contained high fuel environment even if you use lubed with napalm slugs. You’ll just get a bit of smoke before the air goes from high speed flow to rapid expansion and rapid cooling.

Be careful, with 5000 psi you might just violate Rudolf Diesel’s patent 🙄

hehe… 😆 mam you always have the best pics!

Some time ago I did look in to getting replacement bottles made rated to 4500psi but it was going to cost the earth unless you start talking volume runs. Even if I did get one mad I suspect I would get all sorts of other problems. The paintball bottle with regulator works well as people have said but I hate the shape of them.
