How about (electric motor-gear reduction-crank shaft- pump plunger- cylinder- pressure guage- qd)
You can tell how awesome a cannon is by the pressure used.

I just don't understand why you'd go through all the trouble. A hybrid would be much cheaper than that, and I'm sure you'd get comparable performance from it.

Hell, you could probably buy a tank of nitrogen at around that pressure for cheaper.

When I saw this thread's title I was imagining some kind of door to door prostitute salesman. :D

$1899.99...... I guess you earn allot lol. I think a 3stage hand pump is the alternative:) I want to buy one to pump up my paintball tank but its kinda pricy to import it and I need extra tubes and adapters as well...

I think that's still not cheap enough for spudders :?

very higher pressures = pricey stuff

and since most people never use more than 150 psi it's much cheaper to build a homemade stirrup pump or a fridge compressor

you can get high pressure air rifle stirrup pumps for about £100... more effort, but alot cheaper.... anyway, buying a powered pump won;t make you buffer :D wheras human powered pumps do :D
