This sounds like you have a PCP rifle. If it works with the bottle, then the problem is with the pump. Look for problems there. Check to see if the pump is working.
When a bottle is under high pressure, the molecules inside the bottle are closer together and have increased kinetic energy. This can result in the bottle feeling hard or rigid to the touch. As a safety precaution, bottles designed to hold high-pressure substances are usually made of thicker materials to prevent bursting.

Yes, the pressure in the ocean can potentially change the shape of a glass bottle. The external water pressure increases the deeper you go in the ocean, which can lead to the bottle being compressed or deformed due to the difference in pressure inside and outside the bottle.
Bottle rockets require water to create steam pressure within the bottle. This pressure builds up when the water inside is heated by the ignited propellant, causing the bottle to launch upwards. The steam escaping through the nozzle propels the bottle rocket into the air.
A water bottle can implode if the pressure inside the bottle becomes significantly lower than the pressure outside the bottle, causing the bottle to collapse inwards. This can happen if the bottle is sealed at high altitude and then brought down to a lower altitude where the external pressure is much higher.
When opened, a bottle of sparkling wine makes a popping sound as the cork is forced out of the neck by high pressure escaping the bottle.
Heating the air in a closed bottle will increase the temperature of the air, causing the air molecules to move faster and exert more pressure on the walls of the bottle. This increased pressure can lead to the bottle expanding or potentially even bursting if the pressure becomes too high.
It's a part of the "transducer" that converts air sounds (large, low pressure) into liquid sounds (low amplitude, high pressure) - it connects the ear drum to the inner ear (a thin section of the skull.
The pressure in an unopened 2-liter soda bottle at room temperature is typically around 2 to 3 atmospheres (approximately 30 to 45 psi). This increased pressure is due to the carbonation process, where carbon dioxide is dissolved in the liquid under high pressure. When the bottle is opened, the pressure is released, causing the gas to escape and create bubbles.
Maybe yes, maybe no. Do you mean a capped bottle or an open bottle? Small bottle or large, just how high is 'high altitude' and what type of temperature are you at? There are certainly a lot of variables to consider. If you simply took an open / empty bottle to high altitude (or even space) there is nothing inherent to the glass which would make it explode. If you sealed a bottle at sea level, (air pressure at sea level is about 15 lbs per square inch (psi) and took that into the vacuum of space, the bottle would then "feel" the 15 psi of internal pressure. Would that cause it to explode? Again, maybe yes, maybe no. Most bottles which hold carbonated beverages can hold 100psi or higher. A thick champaign bottle may hold significantly more than that, so they would be OK. However a designer perfume bottle or a twisty 'art glass' bottle which isn't designed to hold any pressure may break. Additionally because pressure is multiplied by area to get overall force, a small bottle may be OK while a large bottle may break. For a given pressure, the large bottle simply contains more force than a small bottle. Additionally, with very high altitude comes low temperatures and/or high temperature gradients (very hot in the sun, very cold in shadow). These thermal stresses may cause a liquid in the bottle to freeze and rupture the bottle, or the bottle may break from the high thermal stresses.
When the bottle is shaken, carbon dioxide molecules in the water form bubbles (by being forced next to each other), exit solution and become gaseous. Since the gas has not got enough room to fully expand, it increases the pressure in the bottle.
The wire cage is to help hold the cork in place against the high pressure inside the bottle.
