Do you have to pump just once per shot? Can you pump it more than once, for more power (or is that not safe/advised)?

Only 1 pump per shot. I don't think it's even possible to pump it again, but if you did it wouldn't really do anything. At 1100 fps, how much more velocity do you need?

1 time is all you can... however be aware that 1 pump on this gun is more powerful than multiple pump bbguns. This will break the sound barrier with 1 pump and light pellets. It easily takes small game.

You can only pump this gun once per shot, but you will get a very high velocity from only one pump!

you cock the rifle by rotating barrel all the way down. this compresses the gas piston to full power. You load a pellet with the barrel down. flip it back up in the firing position and it is ready to shoot. No second cocking "or pumping" will accomplish anything.

No. The safety must be reset after each shot. Rather annoying too. Hope this helps.

This won't be the one for you, then. lt makes, at the most, two shots at a time. It's a great machine though.

Yes, but... you will have to press one more button on the top "aroma booster" to get the extra shot (you can repeat the process depending how strong you like it)

After 10 pumps the increase in pressure achieved is minimal and more likeley to damage this gun. If I really wanted more velocity and power I would look to do the various mods available for this gun. Just do some research.

If it is full then pump it 10/15 times. As the fuel burns and if the light starts to dim, go back and pump it again 10/15 times. You can't over pump it because the plunger will not go down anymore because of the back pressure. Hope this helps. PS: Besure your thump covers the hole on the plunger as you pump it.

There is no "pump" Just break barrel and it 'cocks', Insert pellet and snap shut. You will have to turn off safety before firing. It is 'all or nothing' and it is powerful.

Fill the tube and pump once and it's loaded. After each shot pump and your ready to go.

It does require continuous pumping...quite the work out on the arms...not a big fan. I did find that I could pinch the balloon while I rested and then start pumping again. But either way it is too much fuss.

If you were to double-pump, then pumping with one bag and then a bottle would work fine. I usually just pump one breast at a time. Often, I do pump into a bottle then pour into the bags though. I have poured from one bag to another with ease, but only if one has a lot more. I don't want to waste one.

Not over ten, it can be pumped more but there is a risk of damaging the pistol. Just pump between two and ten and the pistol works fine. It is variable power, the more pumps the harder it shoots.

I've never seen that in the manual. I think, beyond a certain number after 10, you risk blowing the seal(s) or causing injury/death to yourself, if the gun blows up or something. :-D. Stay safe... only pump it up to 10x.

to pump it , you have to pull down the second barrel, 1 pump per shot, you only can pump it 1 time.

You need to pump it with every shot, it's a variable pump air rifle meaning you pump it to determine the amount of air pressure in the reservoir which will determine the power.In my experience 3 shots gets the pellet out, 5-7 shots for your normal plinking, and 10-11 pumps maximum if you're doing any hunting or pest control.

One pump will eject a pellet. Five pumps will eject it super fast. Try a few shots at different pumps and you will see the difference. It is hard to pump after 5 pumps. The docs state you can pump it 8 times. I find that hard to do. How many pumps for a typical shot? 3 or 4.

I used my Medela Freestyle for two different children for almost 10 months each 3 times a day at school. (I am a teacher.) I didn't notice any lack of power! I double-pumped each time and usually got 6-8 ounces in no more than 20 minutes.

It's a single shot but if you pump it three times it will shoot three shots, only the pellets will lose most of their fps,
