Propellant packaging

This compressor packages propellant for air rifles.
Some of those rifles are small and throw 10 grains at 575fps.
Others, slugs up to 411 grains at 800fps.
I’ve used a hand pump for my Crosman Marauder, but it cannot produce the pressure required for higher end air guns. My stopgap solution is filling a large carbon fiber tank whenever access to a compressor happens. In terms of usefulness, air guns are a lot like percussion guns, only without quite as much noise, with no smoke or soot, and without powder, cap or wad expense.
