They are about to release a .95 caliber Zeus rifle, thus the need for a 7000 PSI compressor!hopefully they are good for some people, myself I almost bought a new aea hpss 22 and I am glad I didn't, got to test a friend's and I suppose there's got to be a lot of people who like them, but it left a lot to be desired for at the price range.

why not.. might be a cannon just don't expect me to shoot it unless it is mounted to something solid probably going to be awful loud too.They are about to release a .95 caliber!
.95 caliber!
Crazy!
Someone must perform the very important job of testing!I was just thinking it would be nice to test some parts to failure (homemade parts) and considering how I might get there. 7000psi might do it, and if it didn't it would at least demonstrate that they work to 7000 psi...

There are many, many reasons why failure and proof testing is never done with air. Use water!!I was just thinking it would be nice to test some parts to failure (homemade parts) and considering how I might get there. 7000psi might do it, and if it didn't it would at least demonstrate that they work to 7000 psi...

I can only think of two: ease / cost of achieving very high pressure and safety, the latter of which is a matter of appropriate preparation. I would like to ascertain not just when and where a part fails, but how that failure would proceed. While water (or other uncompressable fluid) would provide a valid failure pressure, I'm concerned that a low brisance failure may not accurately reflect the results of a real failure. For instance, testing e.g. a regulator to failure, as installed (i.e. in a pressure vessel / plenum) water will eventually burst the regulator, but you'll have no idea what effect that same failure, with air, would have on the vessel / plenum in which it was installed.There are many, many reasons why failure and proof testing is never done with air.

If the bottle or tank has a working pressure of 7k, they will have to test it way beyond that and I doubt they have the capability of doing so...I took mine to a paint ball store. They took it it along with others to some place in Riverside then after they were done the paint ball shop filled it all for $25. She called it a lost leader. That was around 5 years ago.
