Thanks for sharing the video.
Beautiful gun! 1500 strokes/20 minutes of pumping to fill each of the tanks! Crazy!
Love the entire package, and the leather kit.

It is pretty impressive.
Read something that sometimes used a large pump mounted on a wagon.
Glad you liked it.

Your welcome my friends
I had no idea how they functioned either
Funny the inline valve has been around a long time.

150 gr. 450 psi fill. Could someone smarter than I figure out what the effective range would be? I'm thinking about like a compound bow?

It would be really cool if a company, say air venturi for example, made replicas using todays technology (foster fitting, 3000psi rated tank, scope rail, high efficiency valve, etc). It would probably be a good hunting gun.

At 425 FPS for the 153 gn lead ball, your looking at 61 ft-lbs energy. More that enough to take out a hog or human. I bet it could shoot 75 to 100 yards (at most) accurately with the right shooter. Fascinating video.

It is amazing the technology they had back then.
Wish someone would reproduce them with modernized components for safety

Thanks for the link to a really enjoyable video.
I couldn't help but wonder how such an elaborate mechanism would cost today.
