Fill your HPA by hand?

ljpiller · 11-18-2007, 05:24 PM

A high pressure hand pump? Would this actually work? Can you actually fill HPA tanks with this?

The Axsor/FX3000/Logun 3-stage hand pump, 3000 psi. PRECHARGED GUN ACCESSORIES.

heres an article on it

These do not work well for the application of paintball. Designed for filling smaller tanks on airguns/rifles. The seals and the device as a whole are not made a heavy duty enough to allow you to fill a paintball tank. You'll need to pump the device 100's, if not 1000's of times to fill a tank, and by the time you finished filling your tank, you would have to replace the pumps seals.

Better off on buying a scuba fill station or even a compressor. They work extremely well.

It appears to have been discontinued anyway...

This has shown up a few times on various forums. The general consensus is that by the time you fill a 68 you would be too tired to play without falling all over the place out of exhuastion.

Cause the amount of work to fill the tank is cheaper then the 3-4$ to fill the tank.They say cheapness kills, and this would be a case where it could happen.I hate cheap people.Die you Cheapobastars Die.lol

Someone did some research on another forum but I can't find the thread.

basically you have to put the same amount of force in the up stroke as the down stroke as it is a positive displacement pump that pumps both ways. Also you needed to generate something like 135 foot pounds of pressure for each stroke. IIRC, it was something like 500 strokes per 1000psi.. so it was basically inefficient unless you had a friend named Mongo who would sit on the sidelines pumping away all day for you.

Actually there was someon that owned these for filling his 68/4500. He said he would use the pump while he watched tv during the week and by the weekend it would pump up enough to play. I remember him saying that past 2700psi it was very hard to pump.
