Chris, take a little time away from your studies and check http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu.../compress.html concerning the compressibility of liquids.

Have you heard the riddle: which would you rather have fall on you, a ton of bricks or a ton of feathers? I'm pretty sure either load would crush you.

The question remains then what is the difference between 120 psi air and 120 psi liquid as it pertains to the structural integrity of the container.

We are in agreement about pressurizing the PVC for use in the Breakaway game - not legal.
