If you got 300 seconds out of a compressed-gas system, your tent is missing a few pegs. Or did I misinterpret your post?

There are other issues with high-strength tanks other than sheer tensile strength. For example, carbon fiber is light and strong, but much more unforgiving of damage than other materials (a structural "ding" in a carbon fiber tank is sometimes not even visible.)
