Fun:
The pump
Muzzle is threaded and has a screw-on cap over the threads
Integral gauge
These bullets are slightly concave at the base, and specifically designed for airguns
A bullet is shoved up into the chamber with the fingers
The chamber is closed by sliding the cover back over the o-ring
I shoot into this old, fairly hard chunk of RR tie
Shot 1
Shot 2
I probe for the depth of the back of the bullet
Let’s try a 2” barrel .38 Special with the classic 158 grain LRN “police ammo”
Looks like the 2 shot average for the .38 was 0.44” deeper. The .38 bullet has 1859.0 fpe per sq. in. of frontal area compared to 1686.4 for the Sam Yang. Pretty close. This .38 bullet was dropped before police departments went to auto pistols due to its tendency to over penetrate due to its lack of expansion.
The first shot with the Sam Yang 909S gave 273.2 fpe, the .38 185.9 fpe.
Yes, I had to take the .38 out to a safe place to actually do the shooting and I measure the depth at home.
It's not as hard to pump up as I would have thought. I get 4-5 good power shots per fill with its 244 cc reservoir at 3000 p.s.i.
Shot 4 drops into the high 600s velocity and 190 fpe. This is on full power cocking. I would get more at low power setting where the hammer is only cocked to the first click. |

Very very nice toy. I'm looking forward to the shot report.
What are you planning on doing with it? |

Thank you...I can't wait to get 'er out in the country and sight-in. I'll report back with that. It comes with iron sights, but I'll scope it.
Missouri, where I rifle hunt deer on a buddy's BIL's property, allows airguns for deer. I thought I'd try something different next November and go hunt with it there.
Sucker is loud, but not like a centerfire's earsplitting crack...more of a big, hollow boom. Kind of rattles the house a bit.
Now I have a question. Since I've gotton seriously back into airguns there are silencers or "sound moderators" on a lot of airguns. They didn't have those (that I was aware of) back when I used to shoot air a lot.
My understanding is that silencers for guns are pretty much illegal in the US--without a special license, that is. Are they legal for airguns? Is it possible and legal for me to take advantage of the threaded barrel here and purchase a silencer for this beast?

| How many PSI does it have to pumped up to and how long does it take? |

About 3000 PSI
I never had it all the way empty as it comes with about 1500 PSI in it, when I was done shooting I bled it down to about 750. From there to full again, I counted 207 pumps. Took me, I dunno, maybe 20 minutes. including that I take a little break halfway.
Normally you wouldn't let it get that low between fills.
A Scuba tank set-up would be a good thing, but I don't mind the work too much...for now. |

| Also was just thinking it would be neat to see what that thing would do to a jug of water. |
