Hand-Pump a Benjamin Bulldog 357 - No Need for PCP Air Compressor?

We hand-pumped a Benjamin Bulldog 357 from 0 to 3000 psi. Detailed data were collected for the process and we discussed the feasibility of only using a hand pump for this PCP big bore gun, without buying an expensive PCP air compressor.

I pump mine 10-20 times then release pump pressure over and over. Makes it get to 3000 psi way easier and faster.

Good wrkout!!😎

Sent you an airgun with no air in it? Ouch.
Mine came half filled to keep the seal.
Either way thank you for this valuable information. I am going camping and am wondering if this effort is worth it for just a few shots. It’s on family land not in a park.
Thus why we can do that.
Very grateful

Are Vevor handpumps not compatible with Benjamin Bulldogs?
I cannot get the female quick connector to connect to the male end in the gun.

Kevin, what hand pump are you using ?

[@Uojomo]

Please tell me the name a merchant for the gun bag. It is nice. Cheers.

There's probably a huge difference in hand pumps as some are 3 stage and others are 4 stage pumps.

What sucks about the bulldog is you do all that work for 10 shots lol. Which is why i only shoot mine when i really really wanna shoot it.
