The pumping I completely understand. 3 pumps per shot really adds up. If there's a paintball shop close by, I'd probably go with a bottle first, then if you want, look for a compressor. I pay $5 per fill for my small bottle and get 12 or 15 fills on the gun. really brings fun of shooting back, instead of pumping. If you want shot count, and decide to try a regulator, do check with folks that already have the regulator to see what their shot counts are. Might be better to go directly to a bottle, and skip everything else, or might be best to get the reg. Your call.
