Oh, crap.

Well, the problem I can think of, even if you put less in:

CO2 is heavier than air. So if the pressure isn't high enough,
it'll just sit in your bottle and not do anything fun or interesting.

On the other hand, that strikes me as a better idea than winning a
Darwin award, as one poster suggested... ::-)
