Has anyone tried filling up your S510 above 2900 psi. is it too much of a risk?

You dont want to be filling above 190 bar as the power level will drop due to the valve having too much high pressure behind it. Over filling will cause your cylinder to bulge at the safety spot, and a new one will need to be purchased. You will definitely not gain more shots :shock:
The safety pressure is usually printed on the cylinder unless its been reblued.

Thanks Blackbaronfish.

I was actually hoping that i will be getting more shots if i was able to increase my fill pressure. With 18.13 jsb at half power my string starts from 790 peaked at 804 and after 30 shots it was down to 785, at shot no 44 it was 778, was eager to get the extra six shots. Thanks again and i will stick with the 40 shots at 30 fps spread
