I've been staying out of this, but, the Crosman 140 is a really poor choice to try to get a consistent 20fpe out of. First, it's a 12fpe gun with the recommended 10 pump max. Trying to get a lot more out of it is just asking for a stress related failure. Second, the valve, trigger on the 140 is a blow off valve. The more you pump it up, the harder the trigger is to pull. A steroided 392 might get you there, but I've pumped my 140 enough to know that you aren't going to get anything remotely resembling a quick follow up shot at game. I don't own a PCP, but with your 20fpe requirement, you need either a PCP or magnum springer for follow up shots.
I must apologize if it is felt that any of my responses are argumentive and or coersive. That is the last thing I would want, I am aware that my interpersonal skills are poor, and as such I sometimes do not come off in the intended manner. It was pointed how my responses are interpreted and this makes me feel bad. I do wish more people would be willing to just PM me and let me know, as I feel terrible now.This is one of the areas that I have had difficulty. As a result of what I thought was indifference in another recent thread that I created I deleted all of my posts and had the moderator lock it and move it to non productive. Another recent thread got out of hand and began containing survival related posts until it got locked, and I did not know how to keep it on track, I think if I could have better kept that one on track it would still be going.Now I am told how people interpret my responses in this thread as argumentative and coercive, and I truly feel terrible, as that was never the intent. I only intended to continue the comparisons. so I offer 1000 apologies for this whole thread.
Well Nomadic Pirate I have to slightly disagree... and mad props on your skills...though they where only 17+ fpe I carried a Benji and 2200 on my walkabouts back in the early 80s and would be out a couple months and self contained was King...Now days it could be built a multi pump with a big enough reservoir for multiple shots at 20 to 50 fpe it would take some pumping but so does filling a pure PCP.Some times self contained is the most important thing. Plus I put together my 20.6 fpe(in 20 pumps because of it being short stroke)MK1322 for less than $100 it is very accurate and I do not mind pumping...Do you hand pump your monsters
Well there are a few modified pumpers that can hit 20 FPE, but none of them will do that in 6 pumps from zero pressure....

That Mohawk is one nice pumper, WOW. I did not know that something like that was made.I can understand the convenience of the follow up shot for sure. That is the reason that I have experimented with ACP as well as with HPA designs. There are times that I wish that there was a best of both worlds, a 3+ shot ACP that you could adjust the power as low or as high as you want for the gun quickly for each and every shot. Though to my knowledge there is no best of both worlds.
