That's a bit of a loaded question. Depends on your pump. Be nice the the hpss, depending on when it was made it may lose a valve one day. If you do, just pm me.anyone know with air hand pump around how many pumps to pump it up from dead? 200?300?

It WAS an unobtaboum part for a while and mine broke within the first tin of pellets. I started making and selling problem solved valves but tired of listening to people who thought they knew the failure mode and complained about my valve pin pricing and demanded to know how I fixed it (I'm not giving the solution to competitors that couldn't figure it out)
However. The gun is no longer popular, and I'm happy to help people in a pinch. It's not expensive or hard to do and I still have a few complete pieces and a ton of components to make more. So if your gun shoots and dumps the whole air tube, give me a dm and I will help you figure it out. It was the main issue with the hpss besides the red/orange/brown rod stripping out of the charging handle.
It is a neat design but the gun with wide open transfer port (12 o clock mark) it's really punching above it's weight and beating up the moving parts of the gun.

Ppsiumps vary slightly. Have filled a Career Uttra many times. 490cc from zero to 3,000psi , an even 500 strokes (not counting bleeding & pressurizing the fill hose every 60 strokes.
Pumping is very easy, technique is Everything, dont use your arms, pull handle all the way up, back straight push down until elbows straight & locked then drop all body weight. Much more of a squat workout than anything.
