Sorry Pauly was wrote and posted that before saw your reply.
Some bottles do have incorrect metal composition at manufactor and sneak onto the market. That is something to look out for.

I guess the original cert is done overseas where the test procedures are different, the problem arises with the retest here (so I believe).  

My 12L steel tank weighed 22kg filled so it was far too heavy to lug around and more than my poor old back could handle.  

I replaced it with a 10L Shootair carbon bottle that weighs only 7kg empty and fill it with a compressor from AliExpress - yay, no more trips to the dive shop!

I only ever dealt with nz dive shops, so guess they only had nz certified ones, or maybe I was just lucky with them.
Arnt those carbon bottles just a thinner aluminium walked tank with a carbon fiber skin for strength.
Would u be right in assuming the compressors have a water trap?

Nice going.
That is one scruffy looking magpie. Younger one?
Thought about chucking a suppressor on it?
I've got one here you can try, but I'll want it back.
It does make a noticable differnce to the shot sound.
The pump action is a differnt story, but I'm sure there are ways to do that.
I used a stick on velcro strip on the 1322,which quietened it right down. Tried it in 362 but wouldn't lock properly, but there will be something that does.

Yeah looked pretty young and wasnt as wary as the older birds are.
I have thought about a supressor and will buy one off @pauly5 once I have sorted some other projects out. Thanks for the offer Kruzaroad.
The pump action is pretty noisey and often in my excitement I catch my little finger when pumping it haha.... Slow learner here.
