1stthing I would do, you have any pure silicone oil? If not, get a bottle, cause that's all you can use in these pcp's. Anyway, I would put several drops in the end sir hole on side of fill probe, and refill. This will blow the silicone oil inside your tank, and by firing it will lube all your internal gaskets. May have to do it twice in a row just to be sure.
If it dont solve your problem, contact Pinty. They gonna suggest you try to repair the gun yourself, but I don't know about you,, but I ain't tearing into a brand new rifle to fix jack squat. No way, no how. That's what warranty if for. Dont care how simple a fix it is. Let them send you a new rifle if need be.

The 80 shots was probably advertised with it tuned way down, I've noticed sellers often do that. Pyramid actually steered me away from FX because it looks like they advertise the maximum shot count with the fps the gun would be tuned at for that count but you go to the fx website and see they are capable of so much more. Im still fairly new to pcp and had i known this sooner I'd be minus 3 guns and 1 fx richer.

I don't own a pinty but im guessing you can turn out the hammer adjustment more for more shots but less power, and i think air is supposed to come out of the holes in the shroud, it looks like part of the built in moderator system ,almost all moderators have a way to vent.

I was shooting my Pinty Pup last month & I heard air escaping. Then it would not take a fill. I contacted Pinty about sending me another poppet & valve if they had any. They said they don't carry those parts & sent me out a new rifle. So far so good. My replacement is holding air fine & very accurate. In the new rifle they also included among the spare o'rings & silicone grease a new poppet & valve spring.
