I've worked with high pressure gases and liquids for much of my adult life, and have seen first hand the violence that can ensue when things go wrong (100% of those incidents being from carelessness and failure to follow procedures).
For me personally, 300bar is my max for storing and 250bar is my max for working pressure (i.e., using it for extended periods near my body). Absolutely zero interest in anything higher for personal use. The risk goes up exponentially as pressure increases from there, and robust maintenance and operational procedures need to be in place when working with that amount of energy....and I highly doubt there would be any such formal procedures followed by most people using airguns at those pressures. Accidents waiting to happen.
