will this do any harm? i dont want to damage my gun or tank
You have moisture in the air 
if you dont use desiccant for hand pumps they get moisture in the lines and with desiccant i believe you will still get some moisture. Thats one draw back to hand pumping.

Condor pump? Never heard of that one…
Water in air is a problem; regardless of type of pump. Those expensive automatic pumps have expensive and often elaborate filters as a way to reduce the moisture content.
If your pump is a Hill Pump [said to be the best] or similar pump, with a place to connect some type of air dryer/remover to the Intake of the pump, as the Hill does; I have read of some people freezing some copper tubing in the freezer, then attaching the frozen tubing to the Other moisture removing system before it goes into the pump.
If you will search around; you may be surprised to what length some shooters go to, just to remove as much moisture as possible.
The Choices are: Use Nitrogen, or/get drier air from: a Fire Station/Dive Shop/buy an expensive automated pump for yourself, or just “live with it.” Some do.
I; personally, plan on automating my hill pump, similar to: several on Youtube, such as pcp filler/and several others will give you the idea. Later, Gerald
