Jim Taylor 0 Posted February 14, 2009 Report Share Posted February 14, 2009 Now then Well as the topics suggests i'm looking to buy a charger for me pcp, which is the best option pump or dive bottle?? and any particular brands?? ta Both have good and bad points Dive bottles need filling from time to time,are bulky, need an annual safety inspection,but a doddle to fill up your pcp. Hand pumps are lightweight,fairly maintainence free,but not cheap(£70-£100) and using one is like an hour at the gym! HARD WORK! It depends what your using your pcp for,if your always at the range get a dive bottle,if out in the field controlling vermin, get a hand pump. Ideally get both if your pockets are deep enough! Hope this is of help Jim Quote Link to post

Guest noluv6 Posted February 14, 2009 Report Share Posted February 14, 2009 what gun are you wanting it for?wouldnt want to fill a rapid with a pump but a ultra should be ok Agree 100% biggest bottle at 300 bar you can find to save journey's getting it filled as for make of either it doe's not matter as they all do the same thing and none are easier then the other although people will make you believe so. s400 bottle as after a zero you will need to re fill and if you pump your arms will be fluffed when you try shooting your victim and make you wobble.

I would suggest you get a used diver's bottle as I wrote above. Quote Link to post

jon_h 0 Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 Took about four or five minutes pumping to fill my logun solo from empty, then just top up takes about thirty seconds before i go out each time. Not bad unless you have health issues. Id go for it again anyway. Quote Link to post
clubshot 22 Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 Years ago I used to Sell Faber 300 Bar MDE Bottles I used to keep a Pump - lost it's Box And often used to get ask for Pumps and used to let Shooters Try the Pump Often over night Still got it - must have been used by at least 50 Shooters over the years You might be fit and believe that you could use it - First 50 -100 are easy it's the last 50 that normally get's Shooters Prices are around the same - Decent Pump - 300 Bar Air Bottle It's not only a fittness problem Pumps can allow moisture to get into Gun's which is a Killer Dive Air is Dry...........
