    20 pumps per 100 psi ? 3000 divided by 100 = 30 X 20 = 600

    That can't be right, you be too tired to shoot after that!

    Frickin nora! that!

    Think I'll deffo buy a bottle!

    It's a lot of pumps, believe me. Plus, you don't fill a gun from empty anyway... Usually 120BAR to 190 was the norm with my S400...

    But, having said that, try pumping a Rapid 400cc bottle up to 2500psi from empty! SOD THAT.

    he,he... the lad i bought my d/bottle and pump...
    (both s/hand bargains for one price ) told me, a few of his mates used to top up there 12ltrs with a pump (very not recommended) as dive shop miles away
    pumps work, but are hard work... keep mine for back-up when bottle low... whick aint very often (thank god!)
