It depends on your budget, planned use and how heavy a gun you can handle. I have an AR 2078A in .177 that shoots very well. It Uses two Co2 cartridges for about 60 rounds. A bit heavy but well made and versatile. You can buy a lot of Co2 for the cost of a compressor and it sounds like a hand pump will be difficult That makes pcp rifles more difficult for you to use. I also have the Benjamin Maximus that has a smaller tank but is light weight and shoots well. Plenty of good options that are budget friendly.
