Plus there is PROOF testing and hardness testing. Both are not always the same in barrel quality. Very hard steal can be brittle too. That is why CVA is not approved by CIP in many Euro countries and are banned in many of them without passing a in house proof test first before the consumer can take them home. Try buying one in Italy or Spain.

Call CVA and ask them how many retail outlets they have in CIP countries. T/C has a list on their website.

Im not saying that i think new CVAs are unsafe for most loads but if they only tested them to 28k PSI as Gander said then a 3pellet load can be VERY dangerous.
