Very interesting, if not useful.....

I'm sure this has noting at all to do with selling pumps or PCPs to folks, aren't you? Or maybe replacement pumps when yours fails? After all, you can't even think of fixing it:

"DO NOT attempt to disassemble the hand pump! There are more than 20 different O-rings inside and most are lubricated with a special grease that's not easily available. Disassembly of the hand pump almost always results in damage that cannot be repaired. Do not remove any lubricant from the pump shaft. This lubricant is dark and will stain clothing, but it is not moly grease as many people have supposed. If you remove it, your pump will soon fail."

More to the point, it doesn't come close to addressing the topic, rust in the gun now does it?

I think most folks are smart enough to figure out what's objective and what's not in such advise....and posts.

Edit:

Hey on a second read I noticed this bit at the end:

"Why is the hand pump the BEST way to fill a PCP?
In a word - control! You can stop at exactly the spot in the pressure curve your airgun likes."

So, I guess it's about sales and control of pressure (not a big issue AFAIK, I mean the gauge on my tank fill rig is easier to read (bigger) and more accurate than the one on the gun or my pump (which I don't use....) so it's not about accuracy. Or gun life. Funny, he forgot to mention the safety aspect of not filling your Discovery to 2100 psi by mistake.....
