Both were good - lighter and better shot count. .......... the carbine cylinder gave me very nearly 3 more mags (42 shots) and, put the balance point just in front of the trigger guard. 2 Quote Link to post

philpot 4,917 Posted August 17, 2020 Report Share Posted August 17, 2020 I saw a titainium air cylinder on one of the forums last night for not a lot of money and did consider buying it then get a green hw100 and it could be removed with air still in the cylinderso a much more advanced cylinder than the A&M unit as I believe they cannot be removed without emptying the tank.

Phil Yes, you're right Phil, the A&M ones do have to be emptied first. Quote Link to post
villaman 9,977 Posted August 17, 2020 Report Share Posted August 17, 2020 I had a A&M cylinder which kept on leaking sent it of for repair and still leaked, came back and still leaking , so off it went again , had a phone call saying I over filled it which split the cylinder . How the hell do you over fill it with a 232 bar dive cylinder , when they test there cylinder at 350 bar if I remember. Any how they gave me a new one and told me not to go above 200 bar , why would I want to , w****** 3 Quote Link to post
