Here's an interesting little story about the use of a pump up air rifle

I use a special air compressor that cost more than the air rifle. The air compressor is designed for high power air guns. The max pressure is actually rated 4,350 psi. I can also use my air rifle hand pump, but I can't begin to pump it to that high a pressure.4300 psi?
How do you get that much pressure?
Modern day air guns are nothing like what I had as a kid...
That is I think the very first air rifle I ever shot (not firearm). It was in a PE class on riflery at Texas A&M University. I remember them being very nice rifles that were fun to shoot. I remember that class using side-lever Diana (RWS) air rifles, but I can't say if it was the "model 48" (did they make different models of their side-lever back in the 70's?)I started with a RWS model 48
The Australian forum I follow saying many routinely use air rifles for farm, garden pests like cane toads, rabbits, and other things unique to there location..
