Brain teasers.
Where can you obtain 51 thousands pounds per square inch ….on this planet?
Give or take a coupe of "K" psi
This is probably too easy.

I don't second that...Challenger Deep in the Mariana Trench is the lowest point below the surface of the Ocean--roughly 10,900 meters (35,800 feet). Let's see...1 atmosphere (14 psi) per 10 meters of depth, so roughly 1090 atm at the deepest, times 14 psi per atm is about 15,000psi. That doesn't reach 51,000psi.
Now, I know that some of the diesel direct-injection fuel systems are pushing 40,000psi...could there be one that is around 51,000 psi?

Sounds about right for the .50 BMG chamber pressure.
