I dont get why people say their so hard..

I have a hills, and i find it realatively easy, and by no means am I some huge body builder, just a scrawny 16 year old.

Its hard the first time, after that, it gets easyer..

Have to say that I agree. I’ve used a pump for years with no ill effects (me or the rifle )
Then again, mine is a hunting rifle and I only fill it to 150 bar before each outing and usually let off no more than 20 shots which only takes it down to about 125 bar (.22); so topping up only takes 2 min.
If I were shooting FAC or doing a lot of target work I’d probably buy a bottle.
