Umarex Hammer not loading slug

First inspect the chamber carefully. More that one projectile in the chamber will effect things like loading and shooting. If one is partially blocking the transfer port it won't shoot or load another round. If the bore is clear, try a different slug as suggested above. I tried loading an oversized slug last night as a matter of fact.

This bore scope is crystal clear and worth the small investment.

HAMMER "loading slug"? I've never seen a gun where the hammer is what loads the slug. Probe, yes but hammer no. You might want to mention what gun you're having trouble with. Information is king when asking for help.

The model is the Umarex Hammer.
 
Here's the review I read on that clip thing and also said
"It fact, the bolt handle needs to be pushed all the way forward with a fair amount of force to ensure that it’s correctly engaged. Once we understood that, the gun worked correctly."

Seems a stout gun and they kinda liked it .. maybe it's just tight new and once broken in some loosened up it will work as expected.
