Dressed up a Diana bandit with some Buck Railaccessories. It was low on air, my Chinese air compressor has a blown O-ring and is spitting oil.
Grabbed my FX hand pump to top it of. All was going well till about 2000 PSI and than pop. The fill probe broke in half in the gun. Never had this happen, not even sure why it happened. Anyone else ever experience this?
Here are some pictures of the Diana bandit carbine. Also a Crosman 2240 with his big can and the threaded adater.

360 brass? Probably. Brass work hards very easily. I’d bet that over time and stress of filling. The mere weight of of the quick connector and hose trying to bend it. Will slowly work harden it and eventually it will break.
Though brass is easy to machine. And has self lubricating properties. It would be my last choice for a application like that.
