So far I'm not that disappointed in it - I'll do some more testing tomorrow but ran a few mags through it and not bad.

Cycling is smoother than I thought it would be - I was expecting your typical AEA crap quality, it's not refined but it's not their usual crap either.

Magazines are the typical AEA Plastic pieces of shyte. my 308gr slugs are 0.75" and it pretty much maxes out the depth - so I'm thinking max depth to be 19mm or 20mm max.

************* This is unfortunate - magazine unseats sometimes while pumping - so while trying to cycle the next round, magazine pops out and you can't rack it forward. Happened a couple times now. Will see if this keeps happening.

***** Finding #2 - looks like the stupid Fin on the "buttplate" is now loose after 6 mags. There is literally no space in there to fit ANY kind of hex wrench - a hex BIT barely and i mean barely fits in there.

15" .45 Megalodon -

I only filled to 3,000 PSI, so 8 shots brought me down from 3k to 2k. 308gr slugs

Don't know why this is here - looks like a quick release for the seal to the barrel?

to quickly adjust the output power, by putting in a smaller bore port card in regulated countries. so instead of something, 'only a gunsmith is allowed to do' (in germany), every user can get 'illegal' full power, by a quick card-switch. they call it export-set, in case one travels to a different 'law-zone'.

I shouldn't say this and jinx myself but I'm actually pretty impressed with this little beast. So far there are tiny quirks, but after almost 9,000 rounds through it no leaks and nothing major broken yet lol.

Slugs heavier than 250gr will sometimes jar the mag loose so you can't pump it, have to slap it back in place.
Screw for the safety backed out a bit so hangs up going back on safe, simple fix find the tiniest hex on the planet and screw it back in - but just like in Black Hawk Down - "This is my safety"

Filling above 230 bar on mines gives me valve lock on the first couple shots.
The screw for the hammer/decocking thing loosens up every few mags. I haven't bothered loktighting it yet, don't really care.

I'm going to keep pumping air and lead through them till they break.

Good to hear. I picked one up 2 weeks ago. Have only put about 150 slugs through it, but so far so good.
