Precharged & compressors

[roller 0]

I know very little about precharged air rifles, I was wondering if they can somehow be filled up with air via a compressor? I'd like a precharged, but get put off by the idea of using a hand pump [which i've heard can take up to an hour to fill a rifle] and i haven't got a clue about the costs involved using a divers bottle, the mere thought of a divers bottle sounds like a huge expence,can anyone put me straight thanks

not by your run of the mill compressor as a pre charge airgun works at much higher pressures that these run at.

you can get compressors specaily for them but they are expensive.

Compressors are available but for the average shooter they are beyond financial viability. A bottle is by far the cheaper option if you don't fancy a pump.
