.25 cal Disco Pumper Carbine

[Bryan Heimann]

"  Imagine an exercise machine that's also an airgun pump.
I mean the hand pumps for Disco and Mrod are a pretty decent workout from what I hear anyway, but if they could adapt it to a machine like a Bowflex or something, that would be pretty cool, especially with a reservoir tank option.
Hook your tank or your gun to a hose on the workout machine and start your workout. At the end of the session you have a fully charged gun and/or tank and can enjoy some fruits from your labor beyond improved health and muscle tone!

Maybe this could be your next engineering project Bob? "

I think a stair stepper or stationary bike would be the thing...  Call it  P-rod X fitness system or Shooting Fit X...

Now, that would be awesome.  A treadmill that fills your bottles.  I would definitely get my half hour of cvardio in, every morning!  Even (especially) on weekends!

HAH!..a pump IS an exercise machine...especially on a BIG res gun...like a BT-65...or a Evanix Tactical .45

like "Ahnold's" bull worker went into hydraulic dampner mode

you maggots wanna SHOOT?.. ya gotta EARN it

don't believe me? TRY IT..i have and I know somebody that DOES...


this has got to be the most excellent reason for getting a PCP or three...

Mother of god lol.

I have been wanting to get the fx Independence for a long time now  because it stores what you pump  and once topped off  after you shoot one shot you can pump a few pumps and your back to full power . After you did all the work on this gun  do you think the fx is worth the money  for what your getting .

FX build gorgeous airguns, but out of my price range.... That was the reason for this build, to swap my time for the money I don't have....

What an awesome build...you are a genius Bob.

I know it fits a particular niche, but I think to be economically viable it would have to cost under $300. Otherwise, one could buy a disco and pump twice per shot and carry plenty of shots for field work.  Nevertheless, the concept is awesome and I am currently trying to build a tamer version of this for $150 plus some parts I had laying around.

With the stirrup pump supplied with a Disco, it takes more than 2 pumps just to fill the hose to gun pressure and open the check valve.... plus you have to carry a separate pump.... and you are limited to .22 cal.... This gun is NOT for everybody, but Crosman could build it with mostly existing Crosman & Benjamin parts if they CHOSE to do so.... About the only things they would have to make is a gauge / check valve section, a new piston, and the pivot mount.... the rest is off the shelf.... I can't imagine it being much more than a 39X to produce, although they probably could raise the price point some and still sell a whack of them....

Bob, back when you did this project, I sent an email to Crosman with a link to your post.  I doubt they will ever do it.  They seem to be more about reinventing the same things over and over.  I agree, if they did do it and priced it around $250-$300 they would sell a boat load of them.

I was never under any illusion Crosman would build these.... The project was more what COULD be done with Crosman parts with minimal changes and additions....

Warning old thread, yep.

Too bad Crosman didn't do these and market as a Sheridan "Blue Supreme Evolution" or any other name for that matter.

     If there's a way to make money from it, someone will eventually build and sell it.  Can't keep a good idea out of the marketplace forever.

I consider Seneca and At I at the leading edge for the prepper community.. A self contained tool that is powerful enough to guarantee meet on the table.. I just wish the reservoir would have more volume...  But, that is just me!!
