    Anyway, it kind of freaks me out. The fact that it is not opaque immediately leads me to believe (probably incorrectly) that it is not as strong. With 50,000 psi peaking every time you pull that trigger, my gut is telling me that this is a bad idea.

    It is kind of neat as a proof of concept, but I don't think I would buy one.

    Yes, I understand physics, but my gut says this just won't hold up. Physics and engineering says that plastic is not as strong as steel or aluminum.
