Page 4 of 8 - Air Venturi MK5 Pump Kit Reviews

It is easy to assemble and seems to be very high-quality. It requires occasional lubrication but it is very easy to do. The silicone grease is supplied with the pump.

Nothing that I have found so far.

This is the first PCP pump that I have ever used. I use it to charge an HW 44 pistol. The pistol tops off at 3000 psi, I shoot it down to about 1800 psi. This is 20 full power shots. This recharge requires about 30 pump strokes. As it approaches 3000 psi it takes quite a bit of effort. I can imagine that filling to a higher pressure would be quite a workout. You must also consider that I am a 74 year old guy. I would buy this pump again, it is much less expensive than an electric compressor. As for the HW 44 pistol, it is everything that they say it is and more.

It's pretty easy to assemble. And pumps decently easy. I've been able to pump my air venturi to the max compacity. So far so good

The price is steep for this product, but does the job.

It looked well made

perhaps I was not paying attention but , If it does not already exist in the description I would add text explaining the strength requirements required to use it. As in anyone over a certain age,

I sent this pump back to Pyramid Air who was extremely accommodating and their customer service was excellent. The pump worked and then did not work out of the 5 times I tried to fill the bottle on my air gun. I assembled and tightened the fittings as instructed and twice it built pressure but three times it would not. It is important to know that when it does build pressure there are difficulties in keeping up the effort required. I would not recommend this for people who are not buff you need to be in good shape to use it comfortably.

Affordable. It is good for exercise too because after 2000psi you need to press hard to pump. I enjoy using it as it is easy to connect and disconnect.

Foot pump action would be useful.

The pump works as expected. I am very pleased with it.

Overall ease of use. I had read a few of the past reviews. I was hesitant on purchasing this pump. I'm happy I did! It takes littole effort to achieve the pressure I need for my Senica double shot. After reading a few of the negative comments, I was worried. Im 62 and didnt want to over exert myself just trying to pump up my gun. I love this pump

Nothing at this point

Its a good pump!

Quick available: When I need a recharge it's just there. Assembly was straightforward and easy though with assistance of nonincluded adjustable wrenches tightening fittings. The gauge on the pump is super useful for filling tanks that do not have one built in. Holding up quite well so far with ~20-30 full tank charges.

It did require an adaptor (PY-A-5358) to work with the Hammerli AP20 (I just made sure I called the Pyramyd Air people before I ordered and made sure I had everything needed). It takes about 70 pumps to go from ~50bar to 200bar on the smaller Hammerli tank. Effort is required but I find it to be minimal though am an in shape adult male.

MAINLY It works as advertised. Its compact and easy to store or transport.

I honestly wouldnt change anything it fills my need and exceeded my expectations.

Im 50 years old live on the family farm and have been shooting for sport since my first BB gun at an age young enough that I cant recall not having one. Shooting has been my primary pastime in one form or another since. Ive been a heavy combat engineer, an equipment operator in quarries and on road work, along with my farm duties. What does that have to do with this pump? Well in my search for a method to fill my FIRST PCP I kept seeing the WARNINGS in reviews ( Prepare for a workout , might give you a heart attack, I needed to take 4 breaks to fill, etc) . Im saying maybe my expectations are different than most but Im thrilled with this pump. No Its NOT EFFORTLESS but it allowed me to comfortably try a PCP, so maybe they could have said (Dont expect front row seats if you can only give nose bleed effort). Ive only used it a few times as my .177 rifle shoots MANY mags full before needing the tank topped off. In summary I like it, it works and I do NOT find it STRESSFUL to use.

Simple to use simple set up comes with some desiccant material and silicone grease. I have used it to fill my avenger and my impact m3. It takes around 200 pumps to take my .58l bottle brim 150bar to 250bar. Compressor is definitely easier but in the field or if I have a loss of power its still a very doable task with this pump.

Not super keen on the rounded bottom, however I havent had any issues with anything breaking yet.

Its a workout to use. Depending on how much you are planning to shoot I wouldnt recommend a hand pump being primary fill source. But it is a very nice unit for supplemental filling.

Easy to assemble, excellent instructions, lube included. Pumps my Avenger to 3200psi.

Nothing

My 70 year old knees do not pumping over 3000psi and not more than twice per week.
