Megalodon 58 cal….can it be upgraded?

Hey guys. Loving the megalodon and learned a lot about its pros and cons from here and YouTube. My question is can the megalodon be upgraded for more power? Or even add a regulator? How much more can you do upgrading the airgun or is it at its max potential? Has anyone even attempted to do so haha. Thanks for hearing me out and look forward to your answers.
 
To regulate a big bore you need a big plenum. To calculate plenum
3 * (length * pi * radius)
Assume 22 inch .58 barrel
3 * (22 * 3.14 * 0.29)
3 * 5.81 (95CC)

A plenum of 285CC would be about the minimum.
Bottle -> Reg -> Plenum -> Gun

It does not look like you can put a regulator on a Megladon unless it can use the regulator for Terminator.

But then where do you install the plenum.
 
as far as more power unless you want to risk your health, that gun/brand is past it's Max potential from the factory.. I've seen guys who don't abuse it have them blow up the loading port area..I don't know could have been a missed oversized projectile but I don't like explosion let alone that close to me.
stay safe

I was loading up some hollow points the other day and it was just way to much of a struggle to put them in i will usually test out the mag put punching them out with a metal rod to see if it comes out normal. That’s scary I could only imagine the damage of those just breaking right in your face. Thanks for the info I just figured I’d ask and see if there was more that can be done power wise like a power plenum or tuning or spring etc

Do you have a link to it?
no I'm really sorry I'm not good at that, the only way to know of is if I am watching one there's a share button but I can't even find ones I watched a week ago..
there's probably a spot somewhere like the crime browser that has history, but I haven't found a history on YouTube or YT music, fortunately YT music is the one I use the most and it keeps my favorites right at the top..
I used to be good with computer.. I forgot what OP but the last one I was ok with was XP,I have 7 and it's not so great especially since it's not supported and quite a few sights don't work so I mostly use my phone..
it's nice when you meet other people,I just recently learned that my phone has a timer and calendar 😳😳 and that's only because I desperately needed the timer and someone showed me 😊then my doctor sent me a message and it had a odd box I didn't recognize so I as and was told click it and it will put it on your calendar.. so wonderful I'm using both daily.. otherwise I'd have to carry around a timer too all day, every day for a medical condition..
sorry for the long response but I'm so amazed by the changes and honestly if there's a place where I can check YouTube history PLEASE let me know, because I will find it for you and there's others if love to find again..
it was by a YouTube review channel, I think it was only his second shot.. amazing power the first time.. second time was terrifying.

It’s ok trust me. I’m teaching my parents about adapting to all this new technology and it’s a lot to learn. Example the other day my mother needed to go to the bank to deposit a check and she was exhausted and asked if I can help her out and I’m just like use your phone. She was amazed you can do that haha. So do you use the YouTube app or do you go on the website? There’s an icon on the app that says “you” on the bottom right corner. If you click that it will show your history and the videos you were watching.

wish I had a better memory.. it was a very large caliber aea and I think it was one of those 7000 PSI one's.. but I'm not sure.. scared me enough I'm not interested in aea anything.

I know that they also came out with I think 72 and 95? caliber.. I don't remember but it was a cannon.. and second shot..it was one of the younger reviewers that post on here.. if it helps I think he was in the desert.. but younger can be deceiving because well there's a wide range.. definitely younger than Steve at the channel that reminds me of AEA.. some initials close to that but definitely younger than him or shooter1728

thanks for the reply but without any sources im forced to assume this is fud, i will look into it but without any confirmation or links or anything i dont have anything to go on and will most likely purchase another AEA gun, if you remember or find anything please do let me know i would then discontinue use and not buy anymore as i do take this seriously, thanks markhooper

well I just looked it up and I'm sorry you seem to think by the definition that I am scared of them and making it up..
sorry I am not good with technology and I don't have the video I saw to send you otherwise I definitely would.. yes I saw the breach explode.. fortunately no one was hurt.
please buy whatever suits you..
and please leave me out of the insults.
these are reasons that although I am knowledgeable about airguns and I have my own machine shop, I'm less inclined to help some people..
I wish you well and since I don't have the proof you are looking for you seem to think I made it up..
I didn't..
I'm not interested in drama

it was not an insult i did not mean to offend and im grateful you replied, but i have a set of rules i operate on and i dont let anyone influence my actions without proof, anything less then proof i am forced to take as fud, nothing against you im still hoping someone knows the guy you speak of and points me in the right direction, again i did not mean to offend at all i just cant take that information serious as is, that would require me to read your words and be so afraid i return my gun without a shred of real proof and that is not how i operate i hope you understand

I truly hope you find the video and I truly hope it's not your gun.. the things that I remember, just saw one last night, it's not Steve from acae reviews that I sometimes get confused with aea.. this guy is much younger and his videos are mostly aea guns.. he's actually developed a stick magazine for one of them..I don't remember which one.. I'm also only familiar from use with the aea hpss 22 semi auto.. but this reviewer is like at least half my age.. and it could have been the larger calibers like I mentioned 72 and 90 something..it was definitely one of the new 7000 PSI guns..
I don't expect you to take my word for it unless it was me that had it happen.. could have easily been a defect or oversized slug..
I'm honestly frustrated with the fact that I don't know and understand computer better and be able to send you the link.. that's extremely frustrating to me.. and I'm truly sorry..I did see the video posted on YouTube.. guy was younger and he likes to push the guns to the limit to see if any failures.. like if possible thousands of shots.. I wish you luck if it is possible to find the link and I truly hope it is not your gun..

thanks again i am hoping to find the video, as far as i know aea has only released the .72 cal zeuz, i dont follow any of the 7000 psi stuff im not in a hurry to jump into that, mine is the aea megalodon 58 cal 4500 psi if i ever have anything like that happen i will absolutely share all the details here

as for remembering what you seen i cant even do that and im extremely tech skilled its what i do for a living and yet i still have to save links in a text file if i ever think i will need them again because i have so many bookmarks and large browser history it would take years to find what im looking for lol so i completely understand not being able to recall all the details and links like a super human and i do appreciate you trying

the only person i know of on youtube with a custom clip is macabespeed and i dont see any explosion related videos i will keep looking
