Can you pump a BB gun too much?

How does an air pump BB gun work?

Pump air guns are designed with a lever that acts as an air pump for the gun. In order to fire it, the user must pump the lever to pressurize the internal reservoir. Once the pressure is built, pulling the trigger releases this pressure and propels the pellet forward out of the barrel.

Why does my pellet gun not pump air?
