Hand pump

[Raden1942]

Are any handpumps good enough for 4500? My chinese one claims it can but at around 3400 it sounds like its going to break. I know pumping that everyday would suck but im thinking about getting the hammer. Shooting it for hunting twice a year or something. I have smaller guns for plinking. Anyway will the hill hit 4500?

Email Hill in England and ask them. 3600 is as high as I go with my Hill Mk4. I wouldn't go higher myself.

The one I p.m.'d you about I believe is 3 gen will only do 275 bar -(4000) psi go's into the red to 4500 psi , when you start cranking out those pressures think you will be doing rebuilds JMO Btw never heard back from you

Raden...you had better be very young, in Olympic level condition, with tremendous upper body strength, and the endurance of a long distance runner, should you make the mistake of trying to pump up any pcp to high levels.

Imagine pushing down as hard as you can...for 30-45 minutes of pumping off/on...then imagine the last inch is all that counts when pumping...then imagine there's an angry 250 pound man at the bottom pushing back! In the end, you are putting your entire body on the pump handle in an effort to compress that last inch or so...

There's a reason the kind pcp gods created scuba and scba tanks!!! I've been there, done that, and I speak the truth!!!

Yeah but I only would need to do it once or twice a year to kill deer or something. Anyway you have convinced me to buy a texan. I hear they are getting 4 good shots at 600 fpe with a new valve at 3000psi
