I'll call BS on that. I'm not saying you're lying...but that you were told wrong. The big Liquid tanks are heavier and run lower pressure...and it would take a hell of a lot more force to push that big bottle through a wall than a smaller one.

Re: video of a flying compressed air bottle

the way i understood it it wasnt a liquid tank. it was set up so 4 torches could be used at the same time. i thought the same thing because 90% of the time a stainless "tank" is a liquid tank. a few weeks ago i saw a cut away of a liquid tank and it triped me out the stainless isnt actually the tank its only a protective insulating cover!
