... which makes me wonder how often that was actually done. At an average pace of 1 pump per second, that would be 25 minutes of continuous pumping -- possibly more if the effort increased with the number of pumps. Apparently they also employed "wheeled air-pumping carts ... behind the lines," which seems like a more reasonable approach -- like returning behind the lines for more "ammunition". Apparently that amounted to what was effectively a 20-80 shot "magazine" (reports seem to differ).1500 pumps to fill the air canister was the butt stock to 800psi.

Curious where you got your 800 psi compressor?If I had a good replica, which I would love too, I would use a compressor or tank.
