    Thank you all for taking the time to reply. How many pumps will it take to fill the hw100 carbine air cylinder please ? Suppose there is no way of manually pumping the bottle then

    About enough to need a shower afterward.

    Edit: I think my mate had an FAC Airwolf, a job with the power display and auto-power control. Not HW100. It was a while back I don't remember exactly what it was.

    Depends how big the HW cylinder is and how much is in it already. For example, when I filled my HW110 with a Hill Mk4 pump it took over a hundred pumps. I split that into 40 at a time before having a rest! Needed it but then I am 70 & 10 stone wet through!
    Just bought a Nomad 2 which takes 3 minutes to fill a FX Wildcat from 150 to 210 but they ain't cheap. Still apparently we rich pensioners can afford them

    Hi,

    My HW101 is a carbine, to refill from 100bar to 190bar takes about 50 pumps.

    If you go nice and steady and use proper technique you won't even get out of breath.


    Cheers,



    Mark.
