[QUOTE="Radman, post: 1977074, member: 112033"] Agree. There are scuba tanks made of a thin, lightweight liner. (actual tank), wrapped in glass strands, (and/or other materials). These tanks are lighter, (like rifles, not always an advantage - especially u/w), & are actually rated for higher pressures than most steel or Al tanks. However, (largely due to submersion), they have a limited service life, (unless this has changed). In this light, but not for the same reasons, I'm wondering that if, in time, we'll discover that these unique barrels will have a service life since they too contain pressure? Just thinking out loud.... [/QUOTE]
