would a mini shock pump like the one below be good enough to pump up a 30cm chamber of 25mm pvc?

the reason i want to know is im looking for a small portable pump that i can use to pump my new gun on the move

I dont see why not, it just depends on how high the pump can go

Sure it will, looks like a good pump.

All you need is about an hour between shots...

Hotwired: lol

so it looks like it would be a sucky pump for the propose i want to use it for

How mobile do you want to be?

Track pumps are the best thing possible but they're about the same size as a small cannon too. A foot pump collapses to a fairly small size and pumps to decent pressures...

why not a track pump almost the same pressure but without the ages of refilling times!

I have a shock pump like that, they are good pumps, they can pump to high pressures easily but I think you would soon get sick of pumping it.

I once connected one of these pumps directly to a gauge with about 10cm of pressure hose in between to test my gauge. Even with such a small volume of air it takes about 30 pumps to reach 250psi. I also tried pumping a used 9oz paintball tank with it, it takes over 150 pumps to get 100psi.

Although the pump in the picture looks a tad bigger than mine.
