Idk guys look at this random pic off of Google. Same color block as what this guy has. I will say though I think it had to be dropped to be damaged like that. Then later gave way??

Accident. Daystate Air Ranger bottle front part blasts
- Thread starter mubhaur
- Start date
Without any experience with this particular platform, at minimum this tells me to stay away from aluminum bottle adapters with large internal passages.
Those in-bottle plenum definitely seem sketchy now at best.
That one seems to have sheared right at the end of the threads, o-ring shoulder, perhaps machining of sharp angles contributed to a fracture?
Typically aluminum m18 regs have a much smaller ID air passage than what we see here so this failure doesn't make me too worried in those applications.
Definitely makes me review my guns with longer, high pressure bottles.

I wonder where the manufacturer is, the last thread similar to this had the manufacturer on quite quickly…
Yes, I own a Daystate so I’m not trying to hate. I just feel some relevant questions could have been answered definitively if they were to chime in.

Brass Buddy Bottle connector also have issues:
My Buddy Bottle crumbled off my circa 2015 BSA R10 yesterday
. Thankfully, it wouldn't hold any air either.
Bottom line -> Maintain your equipment by checking periodically

Wow. Should have sent that thing to Ukraine 
. Yeah scary stuff. I haven’t really been thinking about the 250 bar I have been putting into these silly metal chin-crap tubes but I certainly will now. Thanks. I guess.

Yes, I agree .... back before I had a Machine pump.
I tried my best to keep moisture out during hand pumping, but it apparently not enough.

I just checked my AirWolf. I purchased it new and all I have done is add a Carbon Fiber bottle and replace the battery. Mine also has different colors in the finish.

Agree on the colors, but do note there is no added part between the bottle and the block. I don’t have a “spacer” either, and I’ve never seen one before except in this failed gun.

Alan, I don't know about the spacer either. None of my Daystate guns have that on the bottle. It is weird.
