I would have to challenge the fact that coiled hoses store any more than straight hoses that are coiled to allow for expansion. Secondly, you can only have 60 lbs of pressure in the tube which means that it is not really a storage device with any pop.Maybe, just maybe you might be able to fire 1 small cylinder with the air in the hose but without much force.
