other then a hand pump what can i use to refill the air in this rifle? Can i use a 2-3 gal compressor, the kind purchased at lowes or home depot?

No it requires a fill pressure of 3000 psi. There are compressors called shoebox compressors that would work otherwise get a good hand pump like the hill or plan on buying a scuba tank and having it fillled

No. As previously stated, even the very best garage type of compressor only gets up to maybe 500PSI. So options are: special hand pump $120-300, scuba tank with adapter (used $150, new $250), paint ball tanks with adapters ($200-up), special carbon fiber 4500psi tanks for PC rifles ($300-way up), Used SCBA carbon fiber fireman tank with adapters ($200+) which is what I did (actually finished around $120, but I got lucky and built the stainless adapter myself). BUT, once you have an air source, you have almost unlimited, dirt cheap, super accurate shooting fun!

Other than contacting the Manufacturer, I really don't know unless you go to a store that sells air compressors and see if maybe they can make or have a hose in stock or they can steer you in the right direction. Good Luck!

any cheap 1 galon compressor will do, but if you want later to upgrade I WILL said get at lease a 2 gallon unit

I wouldn't recommend a hand pump or even a small car inflater. I absolutely recommend finding someone with an air compressor.

Use a butane refill, like Ronson Ultra Butane Fuel. There's a small round "nipple" on the bottom of the grip. Turn the gun over, insert the refill nozzle and hold it for 30-45 seconds. The gun will get cold as it refills. Any spray and you're doing it wrong.

The air compressor is a must. My husband has one, which I believe he bought at Sears. This thing is really big!

The tool is a vacuum pump, not an air compressor. You need AC gauge lines to use the pump correctly.

A small compressor 2 or3 gal. like a pancake or emglo compressor. All you need is 60-65 PSI.

Very dicey. A quick trip to Harbor Freight will get you a heavier compressor for not a lot of money. (I have the http://www.harborfreight.com/10-gal-25-hp-125-psi-oil-lube-air-compressor-61490.html )

We bought a manual foot operated pump. If you have an air compressor, you should be able to use that as well.

Yes, the rifle does come with the hand pump. I think the pump is pretty easy to operate too, and I'm a senior citizen so if I can do it probably anyone can. It does take a lot of pumps but once you get it charged, recharging is less work. For accuracy's sake I only let the pressure drop a bit less than halfway down before I give it a full charge.

Can use 80-100 psi. Recommended for this gun is 90 psi. This is a great gun and gets in tight places although I could not find any 3/8" staples with the gun at any of the lowes/home depot stores and had to order on-line. No staples come with the gun.

The recommended inlet air pressure for both the full size and touchup gun is 30 PSI, giving 10 PSI at the air cap on both guns. This pressure consumes 13 CFM on the full size gun and 8 CFM on the touchup gun. Everything you need to know to get started is on the first page of the included instructions. They recommend using a 5/16" ID or larger air hose. I would recommend a 3/8" ID hose as the hose and fittings are readily available. I've used these guns with as low as a 1 hp motor/40 gallon tank compressor but a larger capacity compressor gives an assured constant pressure and doesn't have to work so hard to keep up. All guns and paint types are different so I suggest that you get a piece of old sheet metal to get the feel of your guns and paint. I've got an old truck hood out back that I use regularly. Make sure you use a good regulator and moisture/contaminant trap. Let me know if you have any further questions!

Yes No Problem.. I used a 3/8 air gun and it doesn't faze it. Also it doesn't run all the time. I can blow myself off with the air hose with out it coming on and whe it does, It's run time is short. I'm used to 60-120 gallons.. This thing really surprises me..

It comes with a hand pump or you can simply add air at a service station, I have a air compressor in the garage so that is what I use. These are regular tires so they are very easy to fill & maintain.

I do that with the air compressor, so no you can't with this gun. It is a little annoying because there is a bit of hunting to get it right sometimes.

I'm sorry. We are happy with the air rifle and don't want another one, so I can't help you. If others suggest getting "another",I would ask "them" what they recommend. Thanks.
