I'm starting my spud gun projects and i was wondering how much pressure would a bottle hold. A 1l glass bottle and a 1l plastic bottle
Just to be safe :)

Thanks

i wouldnt try using a glass bottle. and for the plastic one, a 2 liter would be fine for a combustion, and people have used the 24 ounce ones for pneumatics, look at some of the guns around here to see what people have done

boogiemans coke gun uses a coke bottle and he pumped it to 160psi, so a plastic bottle would be fine. look at the trident anttena launcher, and the coke bottle gun

those bottles are pretty strong but whats the bursting pressure because 160psi might be just on the border line????
