    I used mine to inflate my bike tubes. It definitely put air in but the gauge refused to budge.

    The gauge on the pump moves but I'm not sure what it supposed to measure in? The gauge on my rifle hasn't budged, I may have to get a better whip with a gauge on it.

    Funnily, I used mine last week. It definitely put air into my pcp, but the gauge was slow to move. From memory the gauge is in mpa (1mpa to 10 bar)

    The pump guage is in Megapascal not BAR

    200 BAR is equal to 20 Megapascal

    So a shit load of pumping is needed before you see movement in that little guage, as opposed to quite a large movement scale in a BAR guage.

    I only got it because a lot of people on here where buying them, I didn't even have a PCP at the time and thought it was worth a punt for a fiver, I wasn't expecting much to be honest.

    Mine worked a treat.
    Mine had a blanking plug that could bet fitted in the end of hose to test it.
    I pump to 180 bar.
