My backup Yong Heng single lung does just fine topping off my 9L from 3,000 to 4,500psi.

Fills 2L and 3L from empty.

But I have a good cooling system so the temp never gets to 60c.

Also, Yong Heng is a better quality single lung.

Some of the even cheaper compressor I'd be hesitant to fill more than a 0.5l gun bottle.

The water cooled are much faster than the air cooled. But they need, sometimes, annual replacement of the high side rings.

My Tuxing Dual Cylinder is down awaiting parts. Some idjit over torqued a nut and stripped the threads in the head. So I've been running the Yong Heng.

Just putting my toe in the water on compressors. I'll see if this works, not concerned about how fast. If I need an improvement then it wuld be a CX (memory?). Just feel no desire to do any more fiddling around with the operation than I have to..

Yes, your Yong Heng works fine for filling tanks, but the OP doesn't have a Yong Heng. He has one of the small, portable compressors (ordered), designed for filling guns.

GX, those that use them love them.
I'm too impatient for that type compressor.

Someone start a pool on when he buys his first mod 😃

The GX-CS4 is capable of filling tanks, although it's $500-600. The smaller GX compressors are more similar to what you have ordered(gun only).

A hand pump is good to have around for backup, and the generic Chinese hand pumps are cheap. I'll sometimes fill a gun with a hand pump(3000psi or less) when I can take my time and do a couple sessions.

Lots of guys now use compressors to fill guns directly, and don't buy tanks at all.

So many options for this newbie who doesn't even have the gun in hand (G) Much thanks to all responders. I learn by reading, sifting, then flipping a coin (G).
Its not like I'll only carry the Marauder to the range by itself. I generally bring combinations.. an AK and a Ruger PCC in 9mm, two different 22 rifles.. an AR with two different uppers.. 22LR pistols, 9mm pistols, a .45 caliber pistols. And my new Hatsan 22 cal pistol non-smoker. An embarrassment of riches for sure!!!
