How Many Pumps Does It Take To Fill A NEW UMAREX GAUNTLET?? 

I was considering getting getting a hand pump. I'm 68, I've changed my mind. You've saved my life, thanks.

It’s best to pump 25-30 times- rest- and repeat. It allows the pump to cool down and cooler air fills it faster. I’m 76 years old and that’s the way I do it.

You guys showed us the real life having an air pump the manual work to do it. Thanks you guys Rock!

Soooo glad I watched this. Scuba tank it is.

This is the practical real world information that I needed. Thank you.

Pump guys: you're working harder than you need to. Try doing slow, long strokes and pause for a second at the top and bottom. I get better results that way when I fill my scuba tanks. Cheers.

You can actually damage the seals in your pump by pumping it the way you did and building up heat in it take a second at the top of the stroke and a second at the bottom of the stroke before you start an up-or- downstroke again it gives the pump time to cool off

i'm 58 , i've had a left knee replaced , a right hip replaced , they want to replace the right knee .... and i have back issues .... just got my first PCP (.25 Gauntlet) and i did 8 sets of 40ish pumps ($40 walmart yosoo/hivbee) with about a 10 min. break in between sets and while i'll admit im a little tired and sore .... it's less that what i thought i'd be , i did pump slower or more deliberately that y'all did with a lil pause at the top and bottom . but that's from 0 to 3000 psi . looks like it only take 110-120 to get from 2k to 3k so just topping off in the future will be easier . watched all (i think) of your gauntlet videos and they/you help me make my decision . thanks for your efforts and sharing . jeff

If you guys would wait 3 to 5 seconds on up stroke and 3 to 5 seconds on down stroke it will fill much faster... just try it

They are still pumping till this day.

Looks like the combination of 2 things I love.. Working out and shooting! LOL

Glad I saw this video....I'm too old for this. I'm going to stick with filling with my air tank. Thanks guys!

Whene you stop pumping it does get harder, because you have let the pump cylinder fill with air. Fast strokes of the pump, cylinder never really gets filled. That’s why you should pump slow, this allows the pump to draw air in. This way the pump stays cooler and your pumping more air per stroke.

Grey man be filling his shirt like purple man soon

I really love watching this video... I watched it so many times... I am guessing by now you would have a muscular body like a body builder?

Okay, now I don't feel so bad. I'm 49 and I thought I was in great shape until I filled up my AEA Terminator the first time. I used an FX stage 4 pump and I was huffing and puffing big time afterwards. Definitely getting a compressor.

The gauge should be on the same side as the port

200?! Dang! Thats freagen a damn lot! But worth 1) the exercise and 2) the free air :)

How many pumps does it take? Is that like how many licks does it take to get to the center of a tootsie roll lolly pop? LOL

Thanks for showing truth. But once its full to top off isn't as many pumps. Please do a video on how many pumps it takes to fill top off from 1,200psi. Thanks guys. Great video.

If all we had was rifles like this, the sport wouldn't be very popular. Just a hunch.

That's why I bought my air compressor 😂😂😂

Hey guys having a hand pump on a SHTF senario is great, but you've got to step up to an air tank or a small compressor...I fill my Aspen Senaca with the compressor which is a tank about the size of that tank, in about 3 minutes...you can plug it into the wall or run it of the truck.

For me this is nogo for buying a pcp. Thanks for the vid, never thought it would take that long. All that to shoot 30 rounds (alright next time it takes half the nr of pumps starting from 100bar, but still.)

Best get the wife pumping , if I buy one in the future ,, cheers Shane uk 🇬🇧

How nice presentation of everything. It's positive and fun, good for you and your audience. And a useful video, I was looking for this information, thanks! As a note, I think it might be better to use the legs while pumping, and take it more slowly. Cheers from Greece, thanks again.

i used to use a hand pump to fill my Hatsan. If you're unfit you may have a cardiac event. You certainly won't need to visit the gym often.

I fell asleep pumping my PCP and my dog started humping my boots. Let's just say it was a rude awakening, lol.

Way to fast! I like the way that you two haven't noticed the needle on that gauge, its telling you something! Reading the instructions may help.

Thank you! This showed me this is a bad idea.

considering it takes 12 pumps to really charge a normal hand-sprayer, and 10 pumps to fill a crossman 2100 to a lowly 800ish psi for 1 shot , 200 pumps to go to that much volume at that pressure isn't all that bad. Keep hand-pumping, it's good exercise. You'll also like to top the gun off more often, I have found. Look on the bright side, it took upwards of 1000 pumps with the small bore, single stage pump to fill a Girandoni air rifle reservoir to 800 psi, which was expended in less than 40 shots lol. We've made progress :P

Video summary: 200 pumps

I have two questions: 1. Can you spread out this effort through, say, a whole day ? Like having the gun lay there and pump 20 strokes every hour or so ? This would certainly make this much more fun (for me, at least). 2. Suppose you shoot 40 times. How many pumps are required then to get back at full ?

So this is the same size 13ci. HPA that's used with the Sig Virtus PCP? What great news! I was thinking it would take 1,000 pumps!

I just got my first umarex gauntlet 25 yesterday and am excited af to use it this morning we are going out to the forest this morning and it's cold out lol

Thank you for showing me why I will pass on this!

Incorrect way of pumping. Pump slower and count 1 2,3 at the top and bottom of pump. Need to pause at top and bottom to let the internal pump mechanism work correctly. IT WILL ALSO PUMP THE GUN UP FASTER. Also use some pure silicone diving grease on the shaft. Helps the life of the orings immensely. My 1st Benjamin pump died in 1 year. The 2nd one is 3 years old and still working fine because of the silicone grease.

Get a hill pump more expensive but definitely worth after watching you guys struggle with your pump a hill pump mk3 or mk4 would fill that gun in less than half the pumps for sure.

That poor pump! Bang, bang, bang, bang........

How many pumps when the gauge is at the bottom of the green to get the pressure back to the top of the green?

That's why I'll never buy a PCP... Nowhere around me to get a tank filled No point of getting an expensive compressor and bottles because I'd shoot once a month for fun anyways No way I will pump for an hour straight just to shoot 30 minutes. Break barrels are getting pretty accurate these days and there are guns with 30-40 joules of power already. Thank you for this video!

Que felicidad cuando sacas por primera ves tu airgun

I have the same gun case, I store my Crosman AK1 in it.

My Air Venturi MK5 Hill Hand Pump takes 200 pumps to fill my Umarex Gauntlet air tank from 1100 psi to 3000 psi. I wonder if it was hooked up to a pogo stick, would I be able to bounce 200 pumps.

Id love a new high tech air rifle. But.. i think ill just stick with my break barrel for now.

There are some solid chemicals that you can mix that expand into gas rapidly. I wonder if someone could use these chemicals to make an airgun that you don't need to pump. You could contain the rapidly expanding chemicals in a self contained tube with the projectile at the end but you would need a way to initiate the reaction. Maybe a small amount of explosive? I'm surprised that I'm the first person to think of this.

I have one of those pumps and can just get into the orange......someone should make a bracket to attach the handle to a car wheel.

I want one of these pcp guns, but they just seem like such a pain in the ass. Whether it's hand pumping or having to take your air tanks somewhere to get them filled. Is there a way to fill the tanks yourself? Will an air compressor fill these tanks?

Been debating which PCP on buying I just figured it out the goblet one I like the 25 cal model

I'm getting a break barrel now. I'm exhausted just watching this.

You are supposed to pause briefly at the top and bottom of each stroke. You waste your energy if you reverse direction immediately.

How hard is the rifle to balance I have cerebral palsy I have a Gamo shadow and it's a little bit heavy on the end which makes it a little bit hard for my right hand to prop up and it gets horrible groups I don't know if that's user or rifle error even on a benchrest

It really really works

More than I can do.

I need a electric pump ^^ not doing this ….thanks for the info

Yeah, after using my hand pump 3 times, I purchased an electric pump. Fills in 4 minutes. Well worth the $400.

As the neighbors looking out side the windows.... "what in Tarnation hill Billy doo bop bee doo daa day is this red head looking trampoline jumping boys on a tread mill bouncin Betty Tom n Jerry is Charles teaching his friend"

Thanks mate for the video 👍

How many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie pop? On a serious note.... Great video! Very informative, I'm a PCP noob, and I was wondering this very question. Should I buy a hand pump or air generator for an crossman icon, it's only 200 bar, I think a hand pump will do the trick. Save some big money!

Pump full strokes and you should probably let it cool down at least mid way through

I bought the gamo urban weeks ago now I wanna get an umarex gauntlet cause you don't need a fill probe

I pump mine many 3-5 times a day. Slow down it's not that bad.

Think you’re supposed to but them on a air compressor first to make a seal, then pump.

who's gonna pump it up for him next time

Muscle man 👍😁😁😁

Well that explains those guns 💪

How do you make sure that humidity is removed from the air that you are pumping into the cylinder? I was under the impression that the air needed to be dried out first?

You've convinced me to purchase a gauntlet

Mr sportsman...would you inform the price please?

I started pumping my brand new Gauntlet 2 .30cal with a manual pump a day before yesterday and I'm almost done. I do 30 to 40 strokes before taking a rest. Re filling it is not the issue. the issue is pumping from 0. I'll look at the positive side of it. I am EXCERCISING (says a broke soul who can't afford an electric pump).

Gonna have to use your link if its still active!!!

looks like a good workout

I’m new to all this air rifle stuff, how many shots would you get out of all that pumping?

I think I heard you say that you are a engineer. My question to you is how many pounds of downward force does it take on the downward Stroke of a pcp hand pump at it's highest point

Did your new one come with 1 or 2 magazines? There was only one when you opened the box, then a second one appeared out of nowhere. I need to know as my 25 is on the way and I need to order more. Didn't want to get to many mags if you know what I mean. Thanks for the help on this. Man! What a workout....

Yo hago de 15 bombeos y descanso… son como 4 series para un BSA R10 se…cansador pero feliz

Id had mine for a couple days still not shot it, waiting for my hand pump and scope to arrive, mine has the barrel band and the ninja regulator, in .22cal

Awesome video!

It’s a great work out!

That looked pretty tuff to get that gauntlet worked up

My old 1980s Daystate says 3000psi. Connect it and pump. I cant detach pump connector from rifle. Why?

That was flat empty out of the box though, you are never going to run it that low In everyday use. 200 pumps takes a kral puncher from the bottom of the green to full and the bottle on that thing is HUGE.

Wow just a wow. I hope someday i can have one.

Could you use a regular plug in air compressor?

Just got my umarex gauntlet. 22 like the one u got. same pressure guage brand, and came with 0 psi.. waiting for my hand pump to arrived.. is your rifle tank holding air ?? Any leak ?? Thanks.

When you pump that fast you build up heat and heat = moisture going into your riffle = not good.

Probably would have been a bit faster if your pump wasn't leaking... 7:25 it shouldn't fall like that. 7:45 the gauge on your pump shouldn't drop like that when you stop pumping.

arent you supposed to wait between pumps?

PCP guns are no fun if you have a hand pump. Scuba tanks are available on CL for free. I got 2 tanks that way.

Glad i got break barrel...

How many pumps to top it off?

You might need me to fix your pump if you continue to do that way

Try filling my akela that arrive totally empty , and it sounds like air was just coming out of the barrel .. it’s not holding air

That deserved a sub.🤣💪🏻🇺🇸

Can you use a Ryobi 18v inflator?

I give you credit for doing this in public……there is a certain dork factor involved here….

compressor it will be !

How many pump does it take to fill a 500cc airgun from 0bars to 200 bars

I just bought my rifle and a new pump but my cylinder won’t hold the air. What should I do?
