I'm with Ben Kenobi, I'm here to rescue you!

The operating pressure is between 2000 and 3000 psi. Pumping it up to 3000 from 2000 took about five minutes. It required some effort, but really not bad. I just had to put my weight into the pumping. . .

The manufacturer claims accuracy up to 70 yards, with between 30-70 shots at high power, depending on pellet weight and power settings. Up to 300 on low power, which is how I've used it inside. I've not had it long enough to really put any of this to the test. Sound wise, shooting without hearing protection, the sound of the pellet hitting the backstop was louder than the report of the rifle. It contains an integrated "expansion chamber" to reduce sound levels. I understand that with a plain barrel it's as loud as a .22 rifle. There's actually lots of youtube videos out there of astouding feats of accuracy with these rifles!

Shooting in the basement, I tend to run out of free time before I run the air tank low. I'm going to take it to an indoor range next week and see what it can do at up to 50 yards, which is farther than I can shoot in my yard. Then, next time I go upstate I'll bring it along for a squirrel hunt just to try it out.
