Any thoughs on this, or the legality of all this?
If you heat up the co2 tanks to create more pressure it will blow the burst disk and let all of the gas out.

I've seen tanks that were cold form rapid firing being filled fully then the disk blowing up when they reheat, and all the gas spraying out. It happened twice in one day at the field one time the field owner was holding the tank, and the gas fucked up his hand pretty bad.
