13ci cylinder :You can get a very small HPA bottle, about the size of a Tomato Sauce bottle, that fits into the pouch with just the neck and reg sticking out.
It works, it’s just not particularly pretty, or user friendly IMHO.
Just wanna throw it out there, as someone who has studied hydraulics and pneumatics and spend a lot of time working with them, if that small one goes off bang either on tour gun, in your rig or under your bed you are going to die, itlllitterly tear you apart and even if it doesn't, the sudden spike in air pressure will probably kill you. Regardless of if its exempt from hydro tests or not I would not compress it with anything that doesn't have an air drier or cooler and I'd replace it every two years minimum. A lot of people get very seriously injured and many have died as a result if poorly maintained pressure vessels, it's really not worth the risk.13ci cylinder :

(As an aside, 13ci 3000psi Aluminum cylinders happen to be exempt from hydro testing)
You can die from 8psi of pressure. I work in Compressed air all day long, your point is valid, but you answered your own question.Just wanna throw it out there, as someone who has studied hydraulics and pneumatics and spend a lot of time working with them, if that small one goes off bang either on tour gun, in your rig or under your bed you are going to die, itlllitterly tear you apart and even if it doesn't, the sudden spike in air pressure will probably kill you.

The issue is a lot of players don't really understand pressure vessels. They are just like the c02 bottles and green gas so will just hiss a little. They wont burst because they are made of metal. I don't think the average hpa player really understands the danger of pressure vessels as a lot don't really know what they are or what they are capable of. They certainly aren't toys.You can die from 8psi of pressure. I work in Compressed air all day long, your point is valid, but you answered your own question.
Poorly maintained pressure vessels, only an idiot would not inspect and respect something that is literally an explosive, or so I’d like to think.
Exemption from hydro testing does not mean the cylinder has not been manufactured to standards which require samples to be tested to destruction.Just wanna throw it out there, as someone who has studied hydraulics and pneumatics and spend a lot of time working with them, if that small one goes off bang either on tour gun, in your rig or under your bed you are going to die, itlllitterly tear you apart and even if it doesn't, the sudden spike in air pressure will probably kill you.
