I just checked your math at 120psi, and it looks like you're good for exactly one pop- make sure you don't miss the bar! At that point, is there even a reason to use an compressor, though? You won't rebuild air nearly fast enough to be able to get enough pressure for a second actuation, and you can drop some weight if you don't have it on-board.
