    carbon fiber reenforced

    Great for strength, bad for impact resistance. You’d want a non-filled material or at least less stiff filler. Something like aramid (kevlar) would give you good properties across the board for an application like this though.

      Carbon fiber can’t handle impact? Nonsense! I’ve got a Stockton Rush paper right here proving otherwise! He even built a whole submersible to go down to the titanic. Next thing you say it won’t handle pressure cycling either? Poppycock!
