It is a known fact that if one uses dry air to fill up Indy/Independence, the insides don't accumulate water. However, I neither own nor want to own a scuba setup. That's the whole reason I bought Indy.
So, after having put 500 pellets through the gun, I mustered up the courage to take the first stage apart (thanks to 17bullet and Scot Heath who shared some Independence pump drawings), and seeing the amount of water accumulated inside, I have no doubt that it has to be addressed on regular basis.
Also, AOA itself recommends taking the pump apart on very regular basis (had a phone chat Steve a few months back), hence my ask - make a video and explain how its done (much like what AOA did with Indy shroud removal).
Another way to look at it I this:
You acknowledge that there is a mass concern about this issue. Unfounded or not - the concern is there, and both the FX and AOA know about it. Then produce an 'official response' to address that concern (ideally in a form of a video instruction)
So, both lines of reasoning beg for the same end product (a video), which for us, the consumers would mean confidence in our purchase, and for FX/AOA ought to result in more sales of Indy/Independence rifles, since doubts about the pump and lack of information are holding 'moderately informed' people back.
