Fill HPA Tank with Hand Pump? - Page 2

It would be cool if you got it for cheap to just pump like 1k PSI in to test guns and stuff. It seems like pumping it halfway(1500 PSI) then playing, then pumping it more would be easier, since, like posted earlier, it gets progressively harder. And if it's twice as hard to pump at 2k PSI as it is at 1k, it's still going to be filling at the same rate as if you where pumping it with 1k if I understand correctly.

This thread pops up quite often. You can use these hand pumps to fill HPA tanks with no problems if you use them properly. These pumps are NOT made for continuous use, as already stated by B. If you follow the instruction manual and let it cool down after the designated number of pump stokes/ time pumping, you will have no problems with seals.

I would recommend the Benjamen Discovery pump. If comes with the exact fittings you need to fill HPA tanks, so you just plug it in and pump.
