I have a bell bike pump (the type you stand on the foot thing to keep it from tipping) its about 1.5" diameter and 1.5' long and i can pump it to 120 psi but it gets pretty hard to pump once you get to 80 (i usually only pump my pneumatic up to 60 anyway).

I'm just finishing my strafer and I'm just using an air tank with a couple of those 12V emergency pumps running on it.

"Just so you know you can buy hand pumps that put out over 1000psi but that doesn't mean every pump can."

Where can you buy a pump like that?

Ive seen some pumps on the net that are hand operated but are used for hydrostatic testing. A link or something would be helpful.

Thanks.

Alitle off topic but how would you go about hooking a pump such as that to a metal pneumatic?

It's going to be an Uzi and it has a spring powered piston fed handle mag plus the actual vortex chamber. I may leave off the air tank because now I'm trying to find a compressor to buy.
