MODERATORS
Made out of a fiberglass tube (catastrophic failure) and titanium end caps (cracks) instead of steel.
“Steel is real.”
Titanium cracks under pressure, I take it?
Or is the join between the cap and the fiberglass body potentially more of a problem?
I would be worried about both. Joining two very different materials that need to deal with crazy pressures seems like a really bad idea.
