If you took a scuba cylinder, filled it to 3/4 or so with water, and then added air until it hit 232 bar... would you have the ultimate SuperSoaker?

Honestly, I've been thinking along these lines, but slightly different. I've been wondering how I could use my cylinders to increase the pessure on my kids' supersoakers and blitz the neighbours. Any ideas?

Use a pony rig with a deliberately-lowered IP? QR fittings to connect a direct feed to are easy to get..

ooooh now here's an idea. I could battle the neighbours kitted up with harness, BP and pony (trouble I haven't got a pony - yet). I'll need a bigger water tank though ... Hmmm... thinking caps on

Those really big bottles of coke hold a lot of water, and either industrial air-line, or in a pinch the stuff you use for fish tanks will normally hold. &nbsp;I used the CO2 cartridge from a soda stream so that I didn't have to do pressure regulation to stop the bottles bursting. &nbsp;Rego toggle valves have a good throughput.

Have fun.

If you filled up a coke bottle from, say, 20m and then let it go - would the air expansion make it break the surface like a rocket and carry on up a good distance?

Incidentally - are CO2 carts a 3/8 fitting..?
