Been posted a zillion times, but still entertaining. If you think those guys can really crank a pump, you should have seen me get about 13bps out of an SL-68. It was funny as all heck.

Wow. The glory days. So unsafe, but still very cool.

Holy crap I just heard her say 3000 balls in 2 games... with a pump. Sick.

I've seen it before as well, but I love watching the pump play.
Pumpker'd; (V.) When a pump player runs up and shoots you at point blank range because you thought 20bps made you good.

  Yes and no. I didn't pump an SL-that fast, however it did fire as fast as my Empire Reloader will feed. See, the SL-68(not SL-68II) has no ball detent, meaning it's possible for balls to keep rolling down the barrel. With the way my pump arm was adjusted, it would hit the valve on the rearward stroke. Not enough to release gas, when the tank was full. However, when the tank was almost empty, it would continuously release gas as long as I held the pump to the rear and fire a continuous stream of paint as fast as the balls would feed. I inadvertantly discovered this during a speedball game when I made an attempt to bunker someone because I was almost out of gas, the first shot missed, and while I was pumping it it fired out a stream of paintballs, eliminating my opponent. Funny how the first time I get warned for overshooting it was with a pump.
