I hope this helps to clear things up Definition: A bar (symbol: bar) is a metric unit of pressure that is defined as exactly 100,000 pascals (symbol: Pa). It is equal to 0.987 atmospheres (101,325 Pa), the unit often used as a reference of standard pressure. History/origin: The unit, bar, was introduced by Vilhelm Bjerknes, a Norwegian meteorologist who founded modern weather forecasting. The term "bar" comes from the Greek word "baros," which means weight.

Inches, millimeters, miles, kilometers... all terms to describe distance. For reference, you mentioned 3100 psi .. the internet says that is 213 bar. In the US we seem to stick to (psi) to describe this range of pressure. The (bar) usage seems to be a Euro thing to describe pressure. It may be a bit more elegant idk.. but most import pcp's seem to use bar to describe it.

Do any of you fill to 300 bar ? It seems that a lot of pcp's are going this route. Maybe I am too cautious for my own good to have any real fun but this seems crazy. I know the guns can handle it but that is an awful lot of potential energy. 3000 seemed the norm for a good long time... am I alone in thinking that 4300+ psi is bonkers ? Just curious what you all think on the matter.Thanks.
that is an awful lot of potential energy.
