You just need to go to bike store :O Not a sport but BIKE.lol
If they dont have it on display ask for over-counter i got mine for about $50, VERY good quality

im in pakky...
how big are you planning on making your airguns? if they have a high chamber volume you might want to consider building your own pump.

i was going to use it on this one to 300-400psi

and the other coax im making is about 300mm x 13mm which will have a barrel a 4.5mm, OD of which is unknown, that i was going to use at less than 300 probably around 200

hmm that chamber volume seems fairly small so a shock pump should be good i think... i have neaver used one so i don't really no probably better to ask someone who uses them.

get a shock pump off ebay, go to a hobby shop with your ammo and see which pipe fits. That seems to e everything, no?
