High Pressure Air cylinder

Carbon fiber cylinders are relatively new to the sport of pneumatic air gunning. However, they have long been used in the paintball, fire fighting and medical fields. The tanks are made out of composite materials developed by NASA for use in space exploration. This "space age" technology makes the tanks lightweight, strong and capable of accepting charging pressures of 4500 psi.

Carbon fiber cylinders have a service life of 15 years and must be hydro-tested every five years. The tanks' hydro requirement was recently extended by the US. Department of Transportation from three to five years due to the tanks' good track record
