Sales dude at Dicks says 25 pumps max. That would put one hell of a lot of muscle behind a .177 cal round, so doubt I’ll ever use that.

We also bought a practice target setup with ‘catcher’ to....well, practice, zero in the sights, etc....and yes, ALWAYS with safety glasses!

We’re both gun owners and fanatics about safety; we’ll apply the same to this thing.

Remington says:
"Be sure to use three pumps (but no more than 10) to prevent the barrel from jamming with a pellet remaining in the barrel after firing."

I could be mistaken, but I think Crossman makes this gun and Remington puts their name on it. Makes me want one!

I have a sort of "shot gun" upstairs with the way the doors all line up. I got bored one night and set up an all weather/day or night mini-range for my old pellet gun.

Fwiw, 1" Southern pine makes a decent backstop for pellets. Soft enough to catch them or at least stop them.
