The black one the transfer port?
And yeah, and unique poppet.

Not sure what they opened them up to but the valve holes were 4mm. He commented on how the transfer port thru the mono block was small as well.

Yours is .22 or .25?
But ports smaller than the pellet/slug and a plenum. That is a weird design.
I'd have thought, given it is designed as a slug gun, the ports would be larger than caliber. Add in a couple 90° turns and that explains the lack of power with the factory settings.

Mine is .22. Ya first batch was an odd duck. Platform def has the ability to get there but they seemed to have nuetured it.
Here's the video. It's translated but they mistake valve for trigger.
Got another batch of the 35g peanut cast slugs from Sonny Slugs. Got them in 4 sizes and will do some testing this weekend hopefully.

Not sure there is any gun made in China I would drool over. I guess it could happen, probably not. Why does it not do what it is supposed to do out of the box?

It was supposed to be a dedicated slug gun with impressive amount of power.
Factory regulator setting ~190 bar it is mundane. 220 bar it is decent. Appears the ports are a bit small. Given the 6 month delay I'm guessing they adjusted the ports.
Nice features, plenum, 550cc air, big magazine (16 for .25), very accurate with pellets or slugs. Haven't played with the trigger, a little heavy from the factory but not bad.
Well put together, nothing loose or machined poorly.
Side Lever is smooth and fairly light pull.
Scope, air, ARCA, moderator and gun ~12lbs
M28x1 thread on end cap with no male threads external. Should have been a standard 1/2-20, no adapter needed.
Action is kinda crunchy sounding when fired with a ping.

Did I hear this thing weights 12 pounds? That is more than a bazooka, I will pass, no drooling.

My Snowpeak Max 1 .22 weights 8.27 lbs without scope, and 10.57 lbs with an Athlon scope. Great gun... but a little too heavy for me

Ya it is a tad heavy once scoped. I had Bushnell Nitro on it for testing from the bench but will put a Veyron on for hunting in the fall. If they make a drop down for a bottle adapter that would lighten it up.My Snowpeak Max 1 .22 weights 8.27 lbs without scope, and 10.57 lbs with an Athlon scope.

I haven't dug in yet, but how does the pressurized shroud affect that? Can a bottle be added?

Wow that's the way to go if I wanted to shoot slugs I would have a slug gun,, I have no use for a slug gun as my PCP pellet guns shoot max 50 yards
But a pure slug gun seems the way to go,,, I am still watching

With the over barrel cylinder you don't have clearance for a bottle on it. Upside of the over barrel cylinder is that barrel will be stiff because much of it is pressurized.
Word of caution though if you take the cylinder off and oil the barrel make sure you wipe the oil off or use silicon oil because it will be pressurized.

They should have built it with the bottle from the get go. More air storage options since it was supposedly targeted for high power....

Looks like a Huben Dream Universal would work, I assume some sort of adapter would be needed. My compressor is down so Im not degassing any guns until I get the head rebuild kit. I'll leave the adapter investigation to others for now.
Or an angled adapter like for Airforce guns.

550cc stock is more than most.
But i agree, a bit of drop down on the tube and a bottle, with adapter, would fit.
The power requires a lot of air. The stock 190bar setting is a bit anemic. So you crank up the regulator. Gun also may need some port work but I'm going to wait for someone else to do it.
