12V compressor?

Are they worth it? Any faster than bike pumps?

Yes, Depends on your strength,how fast you pump and chamber size.

Do you own one? or are you just guessing?

Yeah I do have one thanks.

If you have a small chamber use a bike pump,if you have a big chamber use a bit of both as one is tiring and the other slow.

i got a bike pump and its made to make 260psi.
it usually takes me about 40-50 pump to get it to about 300, it may sound like a lot but its not really and its pretty easy ya dont have to put much weight on it till the 200 psi range

here some pics of it;

A 12 volt pump might not work in some cases because some cannons need a larger volume of air to close the valve/seal the breech. However, a good 12v pump can produce quite a bit of pressure, compared to the average bike pump. i bought a cheap bike pump for about $6.00. It's made of metal and gets me to 120-150 p.s.i.

There are some high output 12volt compressors, I have one for my jeep when I go off roading, its a smaller model of one of these. These mv-50/m1050 12 volt compressors rock! (they need to be connected to you battery terminals though)

I have used a few 12v compressors. They tend to die if you use them like a regular compressor. Run it for 2-3 minutes max at a time, and let it rest awhile (long enough to cool off, 3-5 minutes at least). Open it up and oil the moving parts after every 20 or so uses. Don't expect it to last more than 50 fills of a big-ish chamber. 100 would be lucky.
They're not that fast, but it can beat a bike pump depending on chamber size and how hard/fast you're willing to work that bike pump

Btw, they have VERY little flow, and COULD NOT be used for a BBMG or etc... but would be fine for pressurizing a small pneumatic gun.

You can buy a motorcycle battery or other rechargeable 12v battery to power it. I use a motorcycle battery that I also use for starting my RC plane, and other assorted electronics projects.

Peace,

Not these master flow compressors my Mf-1050 I have puts out 2.5cfm it will get the 5 gallon propane tank I use on my golfball howizer up to 75psi in about 4 minutes. Check the links.
