    depends on the gun

    My Logun pump was about 20 pumps per 100 PSI...

    Work that out for yourselves.

    In the end, the pump broke, it's now in bits in the workshop, and I've got a shiny MDE Faber 7l 300 BAR bottle

    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!)
