15 degree oxy. in scuba tank= 3500 psi
My tank through the winter has been getting under 20 degree temperature fills to 3100 psi. I then bring it indoors and put the tank over the house heating duct, taking it up to 3500 psi! then I fill my gun to 3400 psi and go shooting! For several fills I don’t let it get below 2800 psi.
What do you think about the fps & fpe! Gotta be damn good at 11 on the power dial. Only, at that ( 11 ) setting I have to fill it up after 15-20 shots, but…. ➡

😆 Yaaa!
But I have faith in the release plug near the Neck of the bottle. I’m just concerned with :3 the thought of time taken, money spent & whateverelse like that in dealing with getting it fixed…
Filling that high over spec. can drastically reduce the safe life of your bottle as well. It becomes a safety issue. Like a BOMB Next to your FACE!!!! 😯
Yaa, that does make clear sense to me. OK, will not be doing that anymore. Thanx people for the comments\feed back. ➡
Matthius When you fill your tank to 3400 psi it is harder for the valve to open . Are you increasing spring tension or hammer weight so the valve opens properly? When I filled my tank to 3300 psi my first couple of shots were weak until the pressure dropped so the valve could work properly. What are you trying to achieve? I want accuracy so I try to find the sweet spot. To increase my power I installed a 24 inch barrel. Good luck in your quest. 😀 😀
I don’t think you should fill your gun to 3400

Release is what I thought should be more. Let’s say in a stock Talon the valve opens to .6 per tap and lways at .6 then with higher fill and opening at .6 you’d get more oxy. comming out. It’s open the SAME amount of time yet realeasing more per tap. I do comprehend the thought of your point of view, yet I just sway with this thought a bit more… ➡
As you mensioned though, the chrony’ll tell what’s really going on!
Well until you shoot over a chrony and tell us, we dont know what to think of the fps and fpe.

Shoot over a chrony and it will give you an idea if your using your air efficiently.

Trouble is, the plug is set to blow at a little over 3000+ psi. when you weaken the bottle, it can blow at far below 3ooo! 😯
Check out scuba bottle failures on dive pages . Just google dive bottle failure. It will scare the bejusus out of you! Entire filling stations wiped out. STAINLESS Fill Stations. A heck of a lot harder than you head! Well, May be, or May be not.Lol!!!
I also saw the back end of a Fire Truck that the Air Pack bottle destroyed. This from improper handling of the bottles causing undue stress. Your playing with a BOMB!!!
Use the same care you would in re-loading. Use common sense. Or stay away from it. We would prefer you stay in one piece! 😀
