You could have pumped it a hundred times!! Wouldn't make any difference though, as pump up rifles have a valve in them that bleeds all the extra air off once it's at a certain psi capacity.. (or bleeds of another way depending on the model)
Yeah, I know that now, but I was like 7 or 8 years old at the time and didn't know any better. We THOUGHT that baby was screamin though!
