How long can you leave a PC pressurized?
I'm using a W/W Piranha...I just wanted to know how long you can safely leave it pressurized. I don't mean that I intend to leave it like this for days on end, just if it's okay to leave it pressurized if you're not going to shoot it right away. Thanks.

Rubber-type CPS you should be very careful with to not leave pressurized for too long. I'm sure up to a half-hour wouldn't do any harm, but when you do pressurize it, the rubber starts to thin, loosing power. At least from my experience that is the case.
I'd imagine I could leave my APH pressurized for days on end without any real damage. That is different, a homemade can take more, but you should always depressurize when you know they won't be used for an extended period.
