I did find something out that's kind of funny/weird. One pump I bought at Walmart wound up being like 7/8 scale. I knew when I ought it that it was a skinny high pressure / low volume pump but not that it was a few inches too short. The hose is short too. I got it for work but got another taller/fatter one and brought the subscale one home for the kids, who have a harder time.
It's the Walmart way. They pioneered the practice of squeezing suppliers to reduce costs to absurd levels, to the point of selling a thing that looks like a thing but isn't quite what it seems.
