The laws of physics can't be violated no matter who makes the pump.

Ease of pumping is a function of barrel diameter. The smaller the diameter, the easier it's going to pump.

So why would anybody want a pump with a fat barrel? It's because a fatter barrel lets you move more volume so it takes fewer strokes to reach your desired pressure.
