Yes it faces down . With the 11g hammer you don't need to run your hammer maxed out. It's the perfect weight to utilize the Mavericks power. Imo, I wouldn't run any heavier and it's free.

There is really no need for any huma stuff. Fx sells a slug kit that's way cheaper than huma stuff. The Maverick comes with dual ports for slugs. You don't like throwing money away , do you ?
if you lower your pressure on reg 2 to 80-95 bar and work it up you will get better numbers. FX only claims 900 fps with 18g pellets with the 7g hammer. The 11g hammer is good for 55 fpe or so. That's a powerful airgun in my book.
Don't get caught up in the power wars . Just enjoy shooting an air gun for a while. It's amazingly accurate.

The price is exactly the same here,only problem is that FX is out of stock on everything,atleast in my country.I had to order from Netherlands,i did get fx slug kit,but that comes with tungsten hammer,so i had to order huma stuff.I dont care about power wars,but i want to shoot some ligter slugs,but not 600fps xD.Thanks for advice, i appreciate it

You are learning. No shame in not knowing. Trust me it is a 95% chance it is your tune and not the gun. You need to perform a balancing act between the hammer and plenum pressure. If just type Maverick or Wildcat MKIII BT tune you will find plenty of information. Steve with AEAC has a great video on tuning the Maverick as well that is on the forum somewhere.
Be patient it will come to you in an aha moment one day soon.
I have a Maverick 25 compact that is my favorite pesting gun. I Really like my M3 and Panthera but neither puts a smile on my face like the Maverick Compact does. Your Wildcat is basically the same gun with a different stock on it.

UPDATE : Little update on how stupid iam xD
I decided to disassemble the gun to play with regs and to check it out how it works.
While doing that i found out that dual hole transfer port is already in the gun (i turned it over to "S" ),and i tried to weigh the hammer and its 11 grams not 7
I lowered the regs to 130/90 and put tension screw to 5,9mm
First few shots on power setting 6 - 1002 , 1000 , 1002 ,1005 ,1007
So its not the gun, its me being a noob..ill keep experimenting and maybe do a little update with the slug power kit and slug speeds.
Thanks for your time and advices so far,i appreciate it.

Great! Be sure to check speeds on the lower hammer wheel settings to make sure you’re not over the speed peak on setting 6. It doesn’t take much hammer with a reg at 90bar.
