Diving cylinder question

[Fat-Ferret 857]

I am about to buy a diving cylinder, Because pumping is toomuch like hard work - One bloke told me to get the bottle with the most litres I can, and another said to get one with 7 litres and 300 bar will be as good as a 12 litre 232....?

 

How does it work and whats the best, I could pick up a 15 litre 232 and an adaptor for less than a 7 litre 300 bar kit, But Im not sure what to do

im sure its the higher bar you want to go for, to get more fill.. but maybe wrong

300 bar every time for a number of reasons. You can do the math for a quick idea. 1 bar 7l is 7 litres. 300 bar 7l is 2100 litres stuffed in the bottle. Also consider the fill pressure of the rifle. Once the rifle and the bottle are at the same pressure you dont get full fills. So if it needs 200 bar a 232 will get there much quicker
