Would anyone have any idea what is the maximum air pressure (measured in PSI) that the Rapid Fire 20 would have when the pressure is released from the air bladder ?

I presume you mean an RF20, in which case I believe I can help. I have an air compressor rigged to mine, with a built in pressure gauge. It seems to cap at about 65psi, at which point the release valve opens up, after which it hovers right around 45-50psi. (Though truth be told, my system has a small air leak I haven't gotten around to fixing.)
As for at what psi the air bladder fails (bursts) I haven't figured that out, since the only way I can think to do it would be destructive testing.

Something tells me Hasbro would never make have a toy gun operate at 65 PSI.

I can operate mine at 75 with a ridiculus ROF.
We should stop calling out/making fun of/pissing GC off. He's actually contributed and is available for trade. He's a better than average member no doubt. Got your back Cole.

I don't anymore, but I think I could get all 20 out in under a second.

I know if I have the CO2 low-pressure regulator cranked all the way, my RF-20 will fire all 20 rounds in under a second. I was just curious what the original RF-20 specs were.

Yeah, but that's with modification. I'm pretty the overpressure release valve would kick in before the bladder held even 30 PSI.

Just out of curiosity, ShadowTank, why do you always quote the last person to post when you post?

Why don't you just buy a pressure gauge and find out? My guess is somewhere inbetween 40-50 psi. But if you're using an air supply in place of the bladder you shouldn't go higher than 75-80psi because the tubing and fittings won't be able to handle much more than that.

The little critters of nature, they don't know that they're ugly. That's very funny, a fly marrying a bumble bee. I told you I'd shoot, but you didn't believe me. Why didn't you believe me?
