Oh boy I love it, I have only been able to put a few mags through it today darn Mosquitoes are eating me up but the thing is stacking hole in hole at 40 yards (My front yards max, I just got the gun this evening and was not going to wait till tomorrow to get to the range at the store) and is doing so with all ten shots shoots sweet seems to like the JSB Exact Jumbo Heavies 18.13 gr 

So one thing that I did find out also is that while it will shoot slugs they are too heavy and causes mag strike scaring the magazine does not jam up but you can see where the probe is hitting the corner of the pellet slot so no more slugs till I can at least get me a few more Mags on hand That being said the H&N slugs did shoot well with a good grouping just was cycling a touch too slow. 

The Body and feel is the same as the Marauder... Actually I will retract that slightly, If you where to take the Armada and put it in a Marauder stock would be closer to the mark. Feels great 

I will have some vids done as quickly as I can. I have three four day events that we are hosting or being a part of for the next three weeks so my calendar is pretty full

thanks for sharing. I am very interested in this gun.

I had the same experience with slugs messing up the magazine. It's a shame but they are expensive anyway- it's a semi-auto and you wanna be slinging lead.

I am just praying they make and sell some damn extra magazines already!!!!!!!

The extra magazines are the key. I can’t wait. It’s so frustrating to have to stop after 10 rounds and reload the one mag. That came with the gun. I haven’t tried slugs, and won’t now because i don’t want to chance anything messing up my single magazine!

Too bad someone can't 3d print a gravity feed type to slide into the breech that would kinda look like a snorkel that can load 50-60 rounds all stacked on top of eachother. A clear one would be nice to see how many rounds left.

A Gravity feed would not work but I have wondered about a spring loaded stacking Mag. I was surprised just how fast ten shots are gone by by with the SAM

Glad you like the SAM so far. They are easy to put rounds on. I love hitting spinners with it. Fun to see if you can hit them while they are moving! 



We are working on getting the spare mags out as quickly as we can. I have tested with some H&N Magnums and FX hybrids with no issues in the SAM. I will have test a few more to see if I have any issues.
