Hand Pump vs Compressor?

Bigger issue with hand pumps is the moisture introduced into the gun. In order to have sufficient drying it would take quite a bit more pumping to fill. Hand pumping killed my marauder pretty quickly which ended up costing much more to rebuild than replacing seals. I would never even consider trying to top off my lcs 580 and western rattler 700 cc tanks with one.

I always pump indoors where the humidity is low and I take breaks and purge the moisture when my pump gets warm. I've owned pcps for over 20 years and I've never found any moisture or damage inside any of my guns.
Some airguns like my 3 hammerless have no parts that will corrode but the seals won't last as long with the humid air. You'll find yourself rebuilding/ chasing leaks more often.
