Co2 tanks
Was looking the other day at a CO2 tank from a local store I am assuming on an Airforce rifle you need an adapter they sell to use this tank, but my quesion is can a tank like this be filled with 3000 psi air or less to be able to shoot it in an airforce rifle without any issues thanks Eddie. Also I am not a real Ebay fan unless I know what I am buying and prices of what I am looking at, but I seen this also seems like a cheap price but cheap isn’t always good either any comments would be appreciated on both subjects. Ebay sight attached! below

Should be good to go….you never heard this from me of course!
Jerry Jerry now that’s a thought! 😳
I’d say fill ’till the bottle bulges a bit and back off 10%. Should be good to go….you never heard this from me of course!
So far sounds like it does work but I for one don’t want to be the one that fills it behond it’s rating I think some of us forget where that bottle is when we are shooting not trying to go back on my post but this is a good way to find out things is to post them and I like everyone to say what they think that is what it is all about, and a way to find out what I am asking thanks so far for you opinions.
But coach, won’t I go faster? 
If you chose to use air in it fill only to what the DOT stamp is on the neck.
If you had 30psi rated tires would you run them at 60?
ratings are there for a very good reason.
Cheers,

Maybe you can replace the burst disk with one of a higher rating?
C’mon, these things all have an excessive safety margin built in! Everyone knows that! Who doesn’t want to sidle their cheek up to an over pressurized bottle and trust the strength of Chinese design and manufacturing? Really, what’s the worst that could happen…? 🙄 I’ll bet you can pack 3000psi into one of these CO2 bottles a bunch of times before anything bad happens. At worst, the bottle splits and you get a quick blast of refreshing air that messes up your “do.” OK, it might blow your eyeball across the room but you’ve got two of those. Oh, you’ll probably go deaf too but again, two ears, how cool is that? Really, since the bottle can split anywhere, what are the chances that it splits right aginst your cheek and rips the flesh open in a flash? It’s just as likely to rip open and just cool your arm down, right? And the risk of shrapnel from a case hardened bottle letting go is pretty small too. Let’s face it those chunks of metal could fly in any direction, most of them harmless! These are all pretty extreme and unlikely cases of course. Don’t let the thought of the hammer coming back and striking the valve on the first shot cause you to flinch. It would be awful to have a bad shot on top of your eyeball rolling around in the next lane…
The fact is, if you have a failure or accidentally overfill, it will probably be while you are filling the bottle and not even shooting. If the bottle lets go then for some crazy reason, the worst that can happen is that your dog is scared shitless or you look like a buffoon in front of folks that thought you knew what you were doing. VERY unlikely that anything gets hurt.
