See full version: Using a hand pump for PCP air rifles
You're about to take the plunge and buy your first precharged pneumatic (PCP) air rifle or pistol. Great! Now - how are you going to fill it? Scuba or hand pump? The choice is yours, but do you know everything you need to about the pump?
Connecting your gun to the pump
Some pumps have large threaded DIN (a German standard for scuba tank valves) holes in their base, while others have smaller holes. How you attach a gun to the pump depends on what kind of outlet hole the pump has, because it must fit the inlet side of your fill adapter.

Pump slowly!
Pump with slow, deliberate strokes. Stop at the top and bottom of each stroke to let the air flow through the tiny holes inside the pump. The video shows the right pumping speed, but if you pause a full second at the top and bottom of each stroke you'll do a good job. The pump works in both directions, though it feels hardest on the downstroke, so make the upstroke count, too. Do not fail to go all the way to the end of each stroke, as most of the work is accomplished in the last inch of pump rod travel. more
The diving tank has a capacity of 1L, and can be used for 340 underwater breaths at full capacity. It can be used for 15-20 minutes of diving time. The weight of the product is 5.07 pounds, with a portable bag, you can easily carry it and free your hands to do more things underwater. You can use any type of manual pump to inflate the scuba tank at any time, and you can inflate it with a high-pressure inflator. In addition, if you have an electric air pump at home, it will leave you more time and money.
- The pressure gauge has a luminous function, and the water is still clear at 80 meters. Made of stainless steel, it is waterproof, corrosion resistant, high hardness, and durable. more
